Stimulizin' Gaza: Almost a Billion to "Rebuild" Shit That Has Never Been Bulit and Will Be Blown Up In a Month Anyhow
What the Funk and Wagnall's?
Clinton's proposing this, hoping to use the money as a catspaw to increase Fatah's popularity and get them back in charge, rather than Hamas.
Um... I see what she's doing here but 1) it won't work and 2) it's not worth it.
This is a rather large sum of money. This is the sort of jack we pay out to cinch a peace deal, to pay the Palestinians off to accept a peace. Not to just hope we can make a three-bank play and reap some minor, temporary advantage as far as who exactly runs the murder-pit called Gaza.
Zing: EC writes:
All of Gaza is 'shovel ready'.
Indeed.
