    WinSmith FOUL!

    -3 points for using the irrelevant "but look how much money we give to other people, even bad guys!" talking point.

    The Israel-haters might want to do a global analysis of how much money we give to countries around the world, including stationing our military in Japan, South Korea and Kuwait. Israel is one of a number of countries that we support militarily. And compared to what we're spending blowing up Iraq and Afghanistan, hardly at the top of our financial concerns.
