Arms Sale, somethings not right

Technorati Profile
The Bush Administration will be presenting to congress an Arms Sale Package to Saudi Arabia for their approval. The announced arms sale was immediately met with sharp criticism from congress, especially Israel and the Israeli Lobby. So what happened next, Israel and it's lobby bribed the U.S. into increasing its military aide by $30+ billion. Israel should be lobbying for the U.S. to sell huge amounts of military equipment to all the Arab and Muslim countries throughout the globe, the U.S. would then be suckered into financing every aspect of the state of Israel.

Most arm sales are done to raise funds, i.e. profits, or for some other political purpose. But if you examine this current arms sale package to Saudi Arabia you will see that it is worth around $20 billion dollars, you'd think the U.S. government just increase it's income by $2o billion but that did not happen. Immediately we are coaxed into giving those profits, plus another $10 billion dollars to Israel for military purposes (an illegal occupation, expansion of settlements, building and maintenance of a prison fence) and we don't require them to account for 1 cent of it. Why, if the did show where the money went we would be forced to cease giving them any more aide because of the illegal occupation we are so conveniently financing. Israel is the only recipient of U.S. Foreign Aide that does not have to account for it.

Why does Israel need all this money? Just watch the news, you don't see the Israelis living in tents, or praying for water, that's the Palestinians you see doing those things. They need the money not Israel. And if Israel still is dependent on our aide after all these years of being so generous to them, then they need to get someone else to do their accounting.

Am I the only one disturbed by this?
