Silly White House
By Micah Halpern

Welcome to The Micah Report, my ruminations on Israel, terror & security and the Middle East as well as politics and world events. Thanks for stopping by.

I've been thinking:
If I were a democratic strategist...
I would have a field-day with the White House's $20 million gift (even if they call it "assistance") to the Palestinians.

Here's why:

First, the White House proposed giving the $20 million to help in the January 9 Palestinian elections.

Next, (much as I predicted) certain congressional leaders took exception to the White House's attempt to bypass Congress, which is charged with the responsibility of allocating money.

Plus, Congress has already said NO to the Palestinians, an absolute NO unless they instituted proper transparency and accountability.

Now the White house is suggesting that the same money go to the PA in order to pay an over due electric bill owed Israel.

They are hoping the pro Israel Congress will not challenge this gift to the PA because it is, supposed, eventually destined for Israel.

But who is to say that is where it I going to end up? There are no traces in place!

What backwards logic!
How gullible does the White House assume Congress to be?!
Until the PA puts in proper controls it should get no US money!
