U.S. Arms Merchant to the Middle East
RECEIVED Mon., July 30, 2007
Dear Editor,
The Republican administration, ever in bed with war-profiteering "defense" contractors, now plans a $20-billion weapons sale to selected Middle Eastern countries. Also proposed is the continued military handout at U.S. taxpayers expense of up to $3 billion per year to Israel, which has been armed to the teeth for decades, including their estimated 300-plus nukes. It's such a relief to know that the geniuses in Washington and their corporate masters are earning respect and affection for America and making the world a safer place for us all.
