Hamas on Wry

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill say they are concerned that some of the billions of dollars pledged to rebuild the Gaza Strip, including money from the United States, may end up in the hands of Hamas.

But the State Department said any money not going directly to the Palestinian Authority would be funneled to Gaza through international organizations and agencies, raising questions about whether those channels can keep the money out of Hamas' hands.

"To route $900 million to this area, and let's say Hamas was only able to steal 10 percent of that, we would still become Hamas' second-largest funder after Iran," U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., told FOXNews.com. Kirk called the overall package an apparent "waste of money," given the U.S. recession. Hamas, which the United States considers a terrorist organization, rules the Gaza Strip.

We're #2! We're #2!

My only question is how can any news source report this wiht a straight face? And when has there not been a time when corruption was not in place at the UN and "international organizations and agencies?"

Pardon my French, but there comes a time when I simply cannot write about this shit anymore, because it is just too unbelievable.

Clinton is scheduled to travel to Jerusalem this week to consult with Israeli officials and to the West Bank to meet with Palestinian officials. She gave no breakdown of the U.S. funding for the region, but her spokesman, Robert A. Wood, said on Sunday that it included $300 million in humanitarian aid for Gaza and about $600 million in budget and development aid to the Palestinian Authority.
