Somebody debunk this Fox News story

I shared the following on FB:

and my cousin comments:

True we can not permit Americans to starve and we can not afford to send money (400,000.00) for a camel statue to a land that hates us. Why send hostile countries money for food when we can not even feed our own people.

She's been listening to Fox News again:


State Department to spend $400,000 for camel statue in Pakistan

1. Why debunk? We spend a lot of money on art at our embassies...

and most people consider it a good thing.

3. $400,000 for a work of art gives your cousin heartburn

But $2T and growing for the Iraq War which was started by lying to the American people is A-OK in her book?

4. Making unfounded assumptions looks as bad on you as it does on her

She responded to a post about starving Americans. She is a little looney, but has a heart of gold.
She doesn't have much, but gives a lot to the poor and less fortunate in the way of time and good works.

She does work with the Catholic church - "the Nuns" -

And, BTW, she is against war - ALL war.

7. I felt that there was some truth in it

I just wanted to get the full story

Thanks

8. No problem

And I apologize for the previous assumption. I admit I hold certain stereotypes against people who get information from Fox News.

9. Reminder ...

Ted Cruz reading Dr. Seuss cost $24 billion.

We could build 60,000 camels for the cost of reciting Green Eggs & Ham.

Scam, I am.
