US to fund Lebanese army
From correspondents in Washington
July 29, 2006
THE United States will allocate $US10 million ($13 million) dollars for the Lebanese army so that it can move into the border zone near Israel currently controlled by the Hezbollah militia, the State Department said overnight.

The aid is meant to help Lebanon modernise its force by purchasing spare parts for armoured personnel carriers and other vehicles needed to patrol the zone, as well communications equipment, Tom Casey, a State Department spokesman said.

Congress must still approve the assistance, which is aimed at helping Lebanon work with an international force for the zone backed Friday in Washington by US President George W. Bush and visiting British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

This makes me so mad! So, know that right now, I am cursing!!!
Everytime we do someting like this, it is eventually used against us....we've sent 30 Mil $$ in aid just this week to Lebanon...next we'll probably send in the US Army Corp of Eng. to rebuild the towns Israel tore down!
