"Fairy tales begin with 'once upon a time' but truck drivers' stories begin with 'you ain't gonna believe this s***'."
That's how felt when I heard this 'deal'.Washington has put 20 stealth fighter jets worth $3 billion on the table, as well as a pledge to fight any international resolutions against Israel. In exchange, it wants Israel to halt construction in the West Bank for three months, with a US promise not to ask to prolong it further.Let's see... if they halt construction for 90 days, no mention of what happens after that so presumably they may continue settlement construction without objection, 'Washington' [newspeak for us taxpayers] docilely doles out $3 billion of our most advanced weaponry?

Now I am admittedly pro-Israeli, have lived there and understanding their security issues and hope and pray for a peace settlement, but 'I can't believe this s***."
For $3 billion we get nothing more than a glimmer of a dream, to stop construction for 90 days? Why isn't money of that scale so instantly available to start re-construction in Detroit?
