Did You Think We Were Serious About Financial Support for Terrorism?

Will we even ask, not demand, just ask for changed behavior?

Israel Asks U.S. for an Increase of $4 Billion in Military Aid
Israel is asking the Bush administration for about $4 billion in new military aid and $8 billion to $10 billion in loan guarantees to bolster its economy, a government official said today.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's chief of staff, Dov Weisglass, and the director general of Israel's finance ministry, Ohad Marani, made the request at a meeting on Monday with Condoleezza Rice, President Bush's national security adviser.

The Israeli Embassy declined to disclose how much help was requested, but said the Israelis were promised a prompt reply. An administration official provided the figures.
