Why Would A Country Of 8.2 Million People Need An Aircraft Carrier?

YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS THE AIPAC BLACKMAILERS WILL BE OUT IN FORCE LOBBYING CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT TO PUSH THIS DEAL THROUGH. AN EISENHOWER CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIER WILL RUN $16-20 BILLION DOLLARS AND A SQUADRON(24)F-15 FIGHTER JETS WILL BE AT LEAST ANOTHER HALF A BILLION. ADD IN THE COST OF OUTFITTING THESE MACHINES WITH ALL THE HI-TECH ELECTRONICS THAT THEY WILL NEED AND FIGURE IN THE COST OF INITIAL TRAINING, MAINTENANCE AND PERSONNEL - THE TOTAL COST COULD EASILY REACH $50 BILLION IN A HEARTBEAT.

TO ALL YOU AMERICAN TAXPAYERS, SHOULD WE REALLY BE BUYING ISRAEL AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER AND SQUADRONS OF FIGHTER JETS? THIS IS BEYOND THE PALE IF YOU ASK ME. A REAL HEADSHAKER IF THIS IS WHAT THE SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST HAS DEVOLVED INTO, THE ISRAELIS APPROACHING THEIR UNCLE SAUL[SAM] FOR MILITARY HANDOUTS SO THEY CAN ADDRESS NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES.

IT'S A FUCKING OUTRAGE.
