? to Bush: 1 Hand You Allow Israel To Kill People/Other You Hand Offer Aid
Edited on Tue Jul-25-06 11:11 AM by kpete
Question to Bush:
There are reports that you administration is speeding up delivery of laser guided missiles.
Do you see it as contradictory that on one hand you allow Israel to kill people and civilians in particular and on the other hand you are trying to aid the people that have been suffering and killed as a result.

Bush: NO

U.S. Speeds Up Bomb Delivery for the Israelis
By DAVID S. CLOUD and HELENE COOPER

said Friday.

---How can Bush say we will send Humanitarian aid to Lebanon when:

Aid door to Lebanon closed:
UN agencies By Robert Evans

GENEVA (Reuters) - United Nations humanitarian agencies said on Tuesday they were still largely blocked from bringing relief supplies into Lebanon and from getting injured and chronically sick people to hospitals.

The agencies spoke just before
Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said his government would allow aid airlifts through its air and sea blockade to its northern neighbor.

But the first reaction was that the Israeli move did little to solve the immediate humanitarian crisis.

"It is enormously frustrating to be right on the back doorstep of Lebanon and ready to move in with hundreds of tonnes of aid, but the door remains closed," spokeswoman Jennifer Pagonis of the refugee agency UNHCR told a news briefing.

2. The contradiction is resolved by killing the recipient of aid
once they're dead by Israel's hand there's no more obligation for the US to aid them--so Bush is correct.
