My goodness it worked.
Thanks for the tip Jan, and thanks Keith for posing that question. I've never been able to figure it out either.
Oh yes, the 'deal'. A ninety day stay of execution in exchange for another 3 billion dollars worth of killing power for Israel's inviolate 'security'. Sounds finger lickin' good to me but of course it's not the Palestinians who are drooling.
Every 'deal' Israel has connived with America involving the Middle East has been akin to buying Manhatten from the Indians for 100 guilders (or whatever it was).
This one takes it to a new level. The ephemeral element of time now enters the equation. It think it works out at about 33 million a day to secure Israel's restraint. I'm surprised they didn't ask for 50 million a day but I heard there's a slight economic problem in America at the moment, so I guess Israel might settle for a mere 33 mill a day from the US taxpayer--which is very noble of them I'm sure you'll agree. But just this once, mind. Israeli restraint is rarer than gold and far more expensive, as Americans will further discover when a second 'deal' rolls around ninety days after this one.
Gee America owes them a lot. If I was an American I would surely say, "Thanks for letting us off so lightly Bibi. We owe you bigtime for this". And I predict that's exactly what that treasonous pissant Hilary Clinton will say when Bibi 'reluctantly' accepts.
Let's hope those millions of Americans on the breadline show some gratitude by offering to send more of their children to fight in some new or existing theatre of war in the Middle East before they starve to death. It's the least they could do.
