Getting back to the thread...
This is a good thing...a bit screwy in terms of budgets yes, but it's sending out a signal to Israels neighbours that the US is still Israels ally and if they thought that things had changed recently with the blockade debacle then they're wrong. Solidifying Israel makes it a little less likely that Israel will get attacked, and a little less likely that the whole area will go up in mushrooms.
On the other hand...I hope he gives us some free F-35s...'cause we sure as hell can't afford them either!!
