if anyone cares, i found this to be interesting http://cnn.com/2000/WORLD/meast/01/13/israel.us.arms/index.html just say no!

It,s shit like that that makes me paranoid and want to kiss my ass goodby.

basically Israel is holding the US hostage for working out it's own problems. Fuckers! the US has played such huge rolls in brokering the peace deals in the mideast, i say fuck em, if the whole lot of them can't learn to live co-exist peacfully together let em blow the fuck out of each other. It's like two little kids fighting, and what our military secrets have to do with their peace, other than whats stated in the article, i dunno. fuck em, no stealth for you! no cruise for you! we spent billions for that technology. Also Israel recently sold China technology that it got from the US. Basically they sold china the technology to make china's air force offensive. Up until now they have been strictly defensive, now China will have AWACS technology, if the deal goes down. http://cnn.com/US/9911/11/us.israel.china/index.html

There's no way in hell they're getting either stealth technology or sat imagery. I'd be very surprised by cruise missles. But then again, that jackass Clinton has no principles other than what benefits him, and his main obsession now as his term winds down is buffing up his "place in history", and would probably do most anything towards that end. Especially since his foreign policy record up to now has been absolute crap, precisely because of this cutting corners, paper results on the cheap approach with not a single thought of national interest, strategic reasoning, or realpolitik.

hell we sold Israel the technology of laser guided bombs earlier in the fall. You know, that wonderful footage we got to see from Iraq and Kosovo.........I wouldn't put it passed him. I guess what gets me is the balls for Israel to even ask us. Hell they should be glad we are offering diplomatic assistance.

True, it struck me as rather cheeky. I guess I misjudged Barak.

Who said "If you want peace, prepare for war"? Who do those guys think they are, anyway?

to be prepared for war is the most effectual means of preserving peace. - george washington. in pace, ut sapiens, aptarit idonea bello (in peace, as a wise man, he should make suitable for war.) - Horace. the souls of emporers and the souls of cobblers are cast in the same mould...the same reason that makes us wrangle with a neighbor causes war betwixt princes. - montaigne.

Just say no to stealth.

fuck tha car, i'll do a walk-by! -easy-e.

I hope clinton pulls more of that let's-turn-this-piece-of-nature-into-a-national-monument shit. that's fucking great. if he wants to take some beautiful land and say, "no more ugly shit needed here, thanks" then that's fine by me. george bush jr. sure isn't going to do it.

plus, more jobs for my (and Sheila's) type of folk. i just hope no one gets shot over that crap.

Boy, what a bunch of Clinton hating propaganda. You guys sound like a broken record...

According to my Great World Atlas, Israel is in the contenent of Asia. I never knew that before.

i wish i knew where my head was when i came up with the title for this thread.........i am with cyst. my asshole is national monument, and I am all for it. I can't think of any reason why someone would be pissed over his actions. Unless they wanted to be a realpisser about procedure, but procedure in our gov't is too cumbersome and it takes to long to get the simplest things done. Thanks to scumfuck lobbyists.....

How about being pissed over this? Clinton is not going to address the African AIDS disaster in his state of the union speech, because he doesn't want to take the fire away from Gore when he uses it as a campaign issue. That's weak.

Gore's going to use that as a compaign issue? Good luck. No wonder a sitting vice president can't even make headway against an utterly uncharismatic primary opponent. That's not exactly what I'd call the fire to get the electorate pumped. Besides, why would it necessarily go in a speech on the state of this country?

Good point. We got some letter inviting our work to go to the State of the Union Address, all expenses paid, etc, by some small business association. They never got back to us. Too bad. I kind of wanted to see it. I'mnot sure why, though.
