What convoluted counter argument are you trying to make here?
Albert's right. Arguing with you is like arguing with a brick wall.
Mark... this is simple...
Show us the budget for aid to israel as approved for 1964.... from 1963.
Show us that the incoming administration has no affect on this budget... NOTHING was changed, no decisions were changed...
Seems to me the escalation of war in Vietnam MAY have caused the 64 budget to be amended a bit... ya think?
Quote:Military aid to Israel increases by a factor of five during LBJ's tenure
Excellent point Mark... let's take the FIRST POTUS to offer ANYTHING MILITARILY to Israel and compare it to the buildup to the 6 day war....
You really got me there...
Let's forget the actual correspondance between LBJ and Eshkol, that I posted and you dismissed, which stated exactly the same position about the middle east and peace, as JFK... offensive/nuclear weapons are a threat to the balance of power in the middle east...
That I return your feeble attempts at passing shots or lobs is how I understand a brick wall functions...
Give back exactly or more than is sent out....
or are you just used to people agreeing with you no matter what you post?
