So is Bush going to cut aid today?

I hope so! That's what he implied at the press conference.


I don't think there is any direct US aid to the PA. Bush tried to
institute direct aid to the PA (not his worst idea, by any means) but
it got scuppered in Congress except for one year (2003, IIRC). AFAIUI.
US aid to Palestinians is through the UN or otherwise bypasses their
government.

Europe, OTOH, gives much more money than the US total, and directly to
the PA (with some controls on how it is spent).

TV news said $five hundred million a year to Palestine.

From everyone maybe:

Confusing read for me, what ever.

Need to get another key board.

Ever tried cleaning between those clear polyester sheets inside the
keyboard? I think there's still a bit of Aussie wine left in mine.
Maybe some IP alcohol will work.

Nope, never braved taking that apart. I cleaned just about everything
else, even got ****ed and used acetone on it. I just knew it wouldn't
like that, now the symbols are faded.
