THE fanfare marking yesterday’s arrival of the first American aid to Lebanon was scorned by Esam Haider and 2,000 fellow refugees living in an underground car park after their homes were bombed by Israel. Mr Haider, aware of recent reports that the US was accelerating the delivery of new missiles to Israel, was furious. “Why does President Bush send billions of dollars of weapons to Israel and hands the Lebanese a few boxes of food and blankets?” the 24-year-old chef asked :
“Is he just trying to fatten us up before he gives Israel bigger bombs to kill us?” he said as his nine-month old daughter slept on the concrete floor of the vast supermarket car park in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

Because Israel get's like a billion dollars or something from the U.S. yearly or something like that. They support everything Israel does even if it's unjust such as killing hundreds of innocents to get 2 people back.

Because the dear Lebanese, bless their hearts, have been content to live with and assist terrorists for the better part of the last 20 years.
They could have fought against it, like Israel has, but no, they were happy to be "protected" by Syrian and Iranian militia groups.
The Lebanese get their weapons from Syria or Iran. We're being kind and diplomatic by not bombing their benefactors.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...if Lebanon had not allowed Hezbollah to be in their country, then this wouldn't be happening at all. Israel's not trying to hurt the Lebanese citizens, they are trying to do away with Hezbollah.
Personally, I want to know how and why it took all of a day to get the food and stuff over there but the same couldn't be done after Katrina.

HezBULLie has received plenty of weapons from Syria and Iran.
I'll call it even when Syria and Iran send food and medical supplies to Israel for the refugees and casualties created by the rockets HezBULLie has fired at civilians.

The food that USA sent to Lebanon is already been paid by the Lebanese.
and the money that Israel paid for the USA missiles is been paid from Palestinian and lebanese pocket.
Get the point.

Bush just wants to show that his administration is doing all it can to keep alive the Lebanese who escaped the Israeli air blitz. He sends weapons to Israel because the Israel requested (or rather ordered him to send) them.

Pvt. Andrew. Better the Israelis who are fighting the terrorists thant supporting the terrorists who are fighting us. But we are giving all these arms to israel as a "loan". Israel has never repaid any loans to US.

Americans can give and sell arms but can only hand over a few crumbles of food.
