Well it would appear that we are sponsoring terrorism.

But it must also be said that not everyone in Gaza is a terrorist by a long shot. There are many people there that are caught up in the middle and don't really have a place to call home.

What I have just described as we saw around Christmas last year and earlier last month this is part of the reason there is a need for aid in that part of the world in the first place. And it would extremely difficult to give aid to just the people that we want to assist. The terrorists have even found ways to blend into society which would make it appear that we would want to assist them.

Don't need to go into that world organization in New York that felt the need to separate these people into two distinct groups in the first place back in 1947 especially when they had been living together for such a very long time. Then the next year Israel declared its independence which caused great conflict and people in the region even remember that even today.

But this is nothing new. Back in 1980's we did give the Taliban some small arms and ammunition and even a little military assistance when the Taliban were trying to kick the Soviets out of Afghanistan.

This is just two examples of us assisting people that at best don't exactly have the same interests as we do.

Well we are going to be giving an earmark of about $300,000,000 to "aid" Gaza and Secretary Clinton promises not one cent will go to Hamas.

And I am the fricken president of the United States of America.

This blatant naivety of this administration is just beyond belief. Sort of reminds me of some the reasons we so had to go into Iraq. We were so going to free the Iraqis, get rid of the weapons of mass destruction in the country, and we will help them become a democracy as well.

It may have actually helped if we would have simply asked the Iraqis if they wanted or needed our assistance in any way with these three matters specifically.

So when money gets into the hands of Hamas and there is absolutely zero doubt in my mind that it will what will Hamas use the money for?

I get so sick and tired of this administration acting like I am so stupid that they really want me to believe without putting any thought into it at all that Hamas under no circumstances will get some of this $300,000,000.

It never ceases to amaze me how blindly I am supposed to follow our new president. I have already done this with the previous president to the one we have now and I am sick and tired of the people doing this no matter who the president is really. And don't even get me started on the congress. Well eventually we all will be blindly led no matter if we want to or not. This will be starting in the first few days of 2011. Well if we want to be technical about it what I just mentioned is already happening at least to some degree already right in front of our eyes. [February 13, 2009] But in early 2011 there will be no stopping ourselves being blindly led so far away from were we need to be that we will have Palin, Jindall, or someone even worse be our president eventually.

And how the frick are we supposed to make sure that Hamas does not get any of this money at all in the first place.

P rant over.
