Its been reported that we give the Lebanese government millions, and now Hezbollah is doling it out to fund reconstruction. How do you feel about that?

That's partly true. Hezbollah was doling out U.S. currency before our idiot leaders decided to help rebuild a terrorist nest. There are also reports that photo's exist, showing uncut sheets of U.S. currency hanging out of some of Hezbollah occupied buildings in Beruit. There's talk the Iranians have helped Hezbollah set up counterfiting operations there.
I happen to think our money spent to supply Israel with bombs to blow up murdering Hezbollah terrorist and the people that harbor them was well spent. But, we lose the deterrent effect if we go back in an rebuild the terrorist nest for them. Why don't we just use the bombs to blow ourselves up and save everyone else the trouble.
So I'm pretty irritated with Congress allowing our money to be used to rebuild the homes of criminals harboring terrorist.

We give very little to lebanon, I wish we gave more. I wish the USA actually spent significant money on international aid, not the 1% or so we spend right now. After the month-long war and over a thousand civilian casualties, we've committed 230 million dollars to lebanon. That's less than we give to Israel in military aid.

whats messed up is that those wads of cash that were being handed out by Hezbollah on that video may be fakes. there is footage out there that shows bombed out Hezbollah targets, and in the buildings are huge paper rolls of $100 bills.

I, for one, am against it if that is really happening. We didn't fire any missiles or drop any bombs. Let Israel, Syria and Iran pay for the reconstruction. Then again, Lebanon should not let Hezbollah wage war from their country.

I am not surprised and ticks me off when republicans fuss about a few social programs but dont say one word about their republican president funding the rest of the world.

That money should be going towards rebuilding Israel from the damage caused by the onslaught of rockets that came from that terrorist nation and to arm the Israeli people to bring those son-of-a-bitches down once and for all.

How about the trillions the American taxpayers have spent funding Israel since its foundation?
Get your priorities straight, *******.
Ironic... you're a full-of-**** propagandist using the name "Truth_Teller". Nah, it's just part of the propaganda.
