Thanks for the blackmail, Mr. Netanyahu

I love the way Israel blackmailed us this week to give them warplanes, so they wouldn't build more homes in the Gaza.

Nice.

Good friend.

I'm so glad we give this good friend so many millions of dollars.

My thought was, instead of having them blackmail us to stop the additional settlements, we play hard ball and tell them--meaning it--that if they began the additional settlements, we'd withdraw all financial support until they a) cancelled them and b) sat down to earnestly discuss a true, long-lasting, meaningful peace with the Palestinians.  Meantime, tell the Palestinians the same thing--they have to sit down and earnestly work out a peace deal or 1) no financial support of any kind (if, in fact, we give them any) and 2) they must no longer officially call for the elimination of Israel.

But no one asks me.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone.

Don't worry about Israel... its just pre-rent for one day we'll have the mideast's biggest air base there.

Besides, better land there than someplace like Normandy. They won't be there long anyway... and the Iranians will flatten the ground for our airfield after it cools off.

That's ominous and scary
