Government To It's Own Citizens: Go Ahead And Rot
Yesterday Kindasleazy Rice flippantly promised three quarters of a billion dollars to it's puppet government in Lebanon. Of course this is in addition to the hundreds of billions flowing into the wars on the people in Afghanistan and Iraq. What got me was this paragraph:
"The donation, which must be approved by Congress, would include $220 million in military aid for the beleaguered Western-backed government of Prime Minister Fuad Saniora. The money could buy small arms, ammunition, spare parts and Humvees, U.S. officials said."
There's a pattern here that's sending out a glaring message and it stinks. Consider this - Katrina devastated New Orleans and 250,000 people left the city and are rotting in guarded FEMA trailer parks where the residents can't even talk about their conditions. Our fascists failed the people when the storm hit and are miserably failing them now.
Last summer after phonying up a war against Lebanon the zionists proceeded to gleefully destroy Lebanon's infrastructure, killing anyone who moved on highways while the scumbags in Washington hurriedly mailed them all the cluster bombs they wanted, courtesy of our tax dollars. The people in Lebanon will suffer for some time to come as most of those cluster bombs were older, leaving a lot of duds laying around to indiscriminately kill people later.
Now the US is shoveling money to the repressive government in Beirut to buy weapons to be used against the people who are striking and protesting their corrupt administration.
An endless supply of our money for subjugation, violence and control, but not much there when the people need help, eh?
