BILLIONS in weapons to the PLO???
Are you huffing GASOLINE>??
I only remember hearing the terms of assistance to the Palestinians (NOT ONLY ARMS.. FOOD.. ETC) in the levels of 100,000,000 or so..
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last month told reporters the U.S. is working with Fatah to create a unified Palestinian security force. The Bush administration reportedly will grant $86.4 million to strengthen the Fatah forces, including Force 17, Abbas' security detail, which also serves as de facto police units in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

Its called the Sampson option and can you blame them? They will use them to stop any massive invasion only at a last resort, Any county would do the same so Israel is no different. If say New York is wiped out by a nuke on a commercial freighter that slipped into port somehow. What do you think would happen?

There goes your WND source again...
You need to expand your reading intake... anyhow..
Do you know what the difference between 1 million and 1 billion is?
It is a very large number to grasp.. And douche bag politicians toss numbers like that around so much, typically WND readers start to think they know how much that is.. and toss the numbers about too with wanton abandon...
1 million seconds is 11.5 days..
1 billion seconds is 35 years..
So you see how 86 million (WHICH IS NOT JUST IN WEAPONS! IT IS FOOD AND MEDICINE I WOULD WAGER MAKING UP THE MAJORITY OF THAT!! ) would take over TEN years of giving that amount out consistently to reach close to 1 billion....
In fact the US has givin the Palestinan people 1.7 billon in 14 years... (or just about a 1/3 what we give Israel per year! depending on the year..somtimes that would be half)
So it is NOT BILLIONS in WEAPONS as you are shrieking.. It is no where near close..
And you still are...
OpEdNews | Behind the Drums of War with Iran: Nuclear Weapons or Compound Interest?
On October 25, 2007, the United States announced harsh new penalties on the Iranian military and its state-owned banking systems. Sanctions, bellicose rhetoric and the implicit threat of military action are goads for another war, one that critics fear is more likely to ignite a nuclear holocaust than prevent one. The question is, why is Iran considered such a serious threat? The official explanation is that it is planning to develop nuclear weapons. But the head of the UN watchdog agency IAEA says he has "no concrete evidence" of an Iranian weapons program. And even if there were one, a number of countries have tested or possess nuclear weapons outside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, including Pakistan, North Korea, India, and probably Israel; yet we don't consider that grounds for military action. Iran would just be joining a long list of nuclear powers.

Another theory says the push for war is all about oil; but Iran supplies only 15 percent of total Persian Gulf oil exports, and its oil is already for sale. We don't need to go to war for it. We can just buy it.
OpEdNews | Behind the Drums of War with Iran: Nuclear Weapons or Compound Interest?
As Dr. Krassimir Petrov explained this suspected motive in a 2006 editorial in Gold-Eagle.com:
"As long as the dollar was the only acceptable payment for oil, its dominance in the world was assured, and the American Empire could continue to tax the rest of the world. If, for any reason, the dollar lost its oil backing, the American Empire would cease to exist. Thus, Imperial survival dictated that oil be sold only for dollars. . . . If someone demanded a different payment, he had to be convinced, either by political pressure or military means, to change his mind."
An interesting theory, but it still fails to explain all the facts. In a March 2006 editorial in Asia Times Online, William Engdahl noted that war with Iran has been in the cards as part of the U.S. Greater Middle East strategy since the 1990s, long before Iran threatened to open its own oil bourse. And Iran is not alone in wanting to drop the dollar as its oil currency. To curb currency risks, Russia is planning to open an Energy Stock Exchange in St. Petersburg next year to trade oil in rubles, something that will have significantly more impact on the dollar than Iran's oil bourse. Central bankers in Venezuela, Indonesia, and the United Arab Emirates have all said they will be investing less of their reserves in dollar assets due to the dollar's weakening global position. When those countries also switch to other currencies for their oil trades, will the United States feel compelled to invade them as well?
These theories all have some merit, but none of them seems sufficient to explain the war drums. What is so special about Iran? Here is another possibility: Iran poses a serous threat not only to oil and the dollar but to a secret financial weapon that keeps a global banking empire in power.

There are now only 5 nations on the world left without a Rothschild controlled central bank: Iran; North Korea; Sudan; Cuba; and Libya.

I have always felt that the fact Iran has killed American Military personnel is more than enough justification to take out their government. We do not have to go into Iran like we did Iraq, as there is a Majority populace that already heavily despises their own government. That, combined with our presence next door, will enhance our capability at taking out this menace to society. Also, this is yet another example of why we should not pull out of Iraq. All of these anti-Campaign pro-pull out groups should realize above all else that our having a significant Military presence in Iraq remains one of the greatest deterrents against a Nuclear Iran.
