ブッシュ君はイスラエルへの約22億2千万ドルもの軍事援助を議会に求める…と言っているそうだが
そんなものが議会を通るのだろうか?
通ったとして、その何割が日本の負担に?

U.S. will seek $2.22 billion military aid for Israel
By Reuters
WASHINGTON - The United States will ask Congress to
give Israel $2.22 billion in military assistance
in the fiscal year 2005, $60 million more than in
2004, the U.S. State Department said in a
statement on Monday.
The increase is in line with a
1990s agreement which reduces
economic assistance to Israel
by $120 million a year while
adding $60 million a year to
the military component of the
package, the largest
Washington gives to any
country.
The statement, issued after talks in Israel last
Wednesday and Thursday between senior U.S. and
Israeli officials, said the Bush administration
was committed to enhancing Israel's security
and "maintaining Israel's qualitative edge over
any combination of adversaries".
It said the United States would continue to seek
funding for future U.S. participation in
selected joint research and development
projects with Israel.
U.S. economic support to Israel stood at $600
million in 2002 but under the agreement, which
dates back to the Clinton administration, it
will disappear by 2008.
Apart from the annual military and economic
assistance, the United States is also
guaranteeing international loans by Israel up
to an amount of $9 billion over three years.
The $9 billion is liable to deductions
equivalent to the Israeli government's spending
on settlements in the Palestinian territories
but the United States has given Israel
clearance to start borrowing before deciding
how much it will deduct.
