Any one listening to Issa on CSPAN now? Opportunities from this war

[Skidmore]

He's calling on the US government to rebuild the infrastructure of Lebanon. Sees it as a way to win hearts and minds and to establish good relations with its government. Now do you suppose the majority of the people there don't recall who sold those weapons to Israel? Sounds as though he doesn't see the need for Israel to contribute at all.

1. thus the destruction of Lebanon's infrastructure

I wonder how many more Israelis and Americans had stock deals benefiting from the assaults on Lebanon like that Israeli general they caught?

[Bozita]

2. iirc, he's Lebanese-American

I seem to remember something about insurance fraud in his past.

[atreides1]

3. And car theft, I think

[Cleita]

7. Not to mention that he funded the recall that brought us in California

Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor. I will never forgive that dispicable excuse for a human being for doing that.

4. I'm furious! I'm writing a dear Darrell letter right now.

[ananda]

5. The bin Ladens already have..

.. the rebuilding contracts for Lebanon.

[leesa]

6. Kaaaaaching! More $$$$ for the rich contractors. Life is good!

[acmavm]

8. Sure. They won't pass up an opportunity to cash in at the

expense of the American taxpayer (which means the money won't come from the upper 10% of the population. You know, they only make the money. They don't pay.)

[angstlessk]

9. Now we got three other countries other than the USA to build up?

what do they think we are? Daddy Warbucks? Hey, Annie...get yer guns!

Afghanestain, Iraq and now Lebannon all the while our infrastructure crumbles due to lack of funds? We cannot even fund the rebuilding of New Orleans...we have to fund the rebuilding of Lebanon? Am I missing something here?

[OregonBlue]

10. Agreed! Let Israel rebuild Lebanon. Let's rebuild our own roads and

bridges and schools.

[madinmaryland]

11. So he is talking about giving Halliburton and the rest

of the corrupt contractors that are "rebuilding" Iraq a shot of the billions needed to rebuild Lebanon. Sounds like a typical repub solution to the problem.
