Obama Seeks $205 Million to Fund Israeli Missile Defense.

Funds Would Be in Addition to Billions in Annual Aid
by Jason Ditz, May 13, 2010


With the deficit soaring and America’s own military facing a prospective budget crunch, President Obama today announced that he intends to seek $205 million in additional funding for Israel’s missile defense system.

White House spokesman Tommy Vietor, who announced the proposal, cited the “threat” posed by Hamas and Hezbollah as the reason for the funding of the “Iron Dome” system, made by Israel’s state owned weapons company Rafael.

The $205 million, if approved, will be in addition to the roughly $3 billion the Obama Administration has set aside annually for military aid to Israel.

Iron Dome has faced considerable criticism based on cost overruns and a checkered history of testing. Even if it eventually proves effective the wisdom of spending some $50,000 per missile to shoot down the inexpensive rockets it is effective against has been questioned.

OF course it makes sense!

After all those years of suffering the poor Zionists deserve something--aside from those billions they've received over many decades.

The part that makes the least sense is that anyone notices 205 million. We send the Jewish state nearly as many billions as we send the Muslims states and another 205 million is newsworthy?

My step-father told me the other day that this administration was hard on Israel so that means the Jews aren't in control I am assuming that means that instead of giving them $210 Million here our "tough on Israel" administration gave them $205 Million, oohh how rough.

This all would be hilarious if it wasn't so deadly serious.

It truly is amazing to see how far America has fallen in just 70 years. Might be the biggest decline of an empire in recorded history.

It sure doesn't look like it to me, their power seems to be concentrating at a brake neck pace...even the US Supreme Court is now dominated. The Obama regime is playing a Jedi mind trick on the peeps, they think he is pro Muslim and anti Israeli.

This system is of very dubious effectiveness.
The real sick part is they are going to turn around and sell this to NATO and make even more cash.

The Defense Ministry is in talks with a number of European countries about the possible sale of the Iron Dome short-range missile defense system which the IDF plans to deploy in the coming months along the border with the Gaza Strip.
