The U.S. Senate logo. Credit: U.S. Senate. (JNS.org) Among 100 members of the U.S. Senate, 17 lawmakers—13 Democrats, three Republicans, and one independent—decided not to join the strong bipartisan support for a letter arguing that Israel should receive increased annual defense aid from America. The letter, signed by 83 senators and addressed to President Barack Obama, cites a number of security threats facing Israel that justify “investment in the long-term security requirements” forAmerica’s “closest Middle East ally.” Israel is hoping that its U.S. defense package will rise from the current $3.1 billion per year to between $4 and $4.5 billion annually, while the Obama administration has proposed a target of $3.7 billion. U.S. Sens. Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) initiated the letter, which was not signed by the following 17 senators: Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Tom Carper (D-Del.), Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Angus King (I-Maine), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Rand [Paul] (R-Ky.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), John Tester (D-Mont.), and Tom Udall (D-N.M.). Poster Comment: Lindsey Graham's Senate website has all the gruesome details. http://www.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=A86F71E2-A8CE-4A5A-9877-3A5B69198D7B
The president doesn't fund things, so signing this letter is just political BS, but the message stinks. (1 image)

The sooner these "threats" become action, the sooner there be an end to 90% of the "terrorism" which is concerning the West.

That's wrong, Bernie is an Independent. They've demoted him to Democrat! He's noted as an Independent in the Senate roll call votes. Remember that Ahmadinejad said that "the Israeli state is illegitimate and needs to be erased from the face of time."

Amadinejad's reference was to the state's Zionist regime; in all likelihood he has no objection to Jews as part of the Palestinian state. I seem to recall he also has Jewish origins like a good many political leaders.
The Zionists, and Neocons, are the REAL enemies of the U.S. When I worked for the State of Illinois, we had this big shot engineer who wrote an Op-Ed for the Chicago Tribune titled, "I am a Zionist". He was in the yard once and his car was dirty. I wrote "WASH ME" on it. When he saw it, he started jumping up and down and screaming. They made the yard toadie wash his car. ROTFLOL!

PM me his name and I'll give it the smell test :-) Now why do yawl suppose the dummacrats wouldn't rush to sign -- including Boxer, Franken and Sanders of all people? I can think of only one reason -- the writing's on the wall and Dems are, for whatever strange quasi-logical reason, seeing it first. Hellary must be ready to claw their eyes out.
