AntiWar.com... Defense Bill Another Chance to Push Through Unrequested Aid Hike Another Defense Appropriations bill means another chance for the US Congress to shovel an increased amount of military aid at Israel, with the latest bill out of the House adding $131 million in missile defense funding over last year’s level. The $131 million wasn’t requested by anyone, and was simply backed on to the funding requested by the Obama Administration, with hawks saying the “missiles regularly fired at Israel from Gaza” justified the increase. Israel’s military sought to defund the Iron Dome missile system years ago, but has continued to get hundreds of millions annually from the US to pay for it. Since then they have praised it as a dramatic success. Experts, however, say Israel’s data on the success rate of Iron Dome is not only inflated, but is so inflated as to be essentially impossible given the laws of physics. The real success rate remains a mystery, but if success is measured in how much money the US will throw at them, it’s done quite well for itself. +14 tadzio308's tadzio308 If a bloated defense budget financed off the backs of the American taxpayer were eliminated the truth of Israel would stand naked - a failed economy. +17 Karla · 1 $131 million– Let's see, that's food for over 109,000 destitute and hungry Americans for a full year, . . . provided they were able to get by on $1200.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
