The House of Representatives suspended its parliamentary rules and passed H.R. 4133, the United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012, or USIESC.
It was drafted by AIPAC and sponsored by Eric Cantor. It includes more money for Israel, more missile subsidies, more training subsidies, more tank subsidies, more munition subsidies, more intelligence given to Israel, and a call to make NATO more Israel-centric. It also reaffirms "the enduring commitment of the United States to the security of the State of Israel as a Jewish state."
It passed 411-2. Only Rep. Ron Paul, and one Democrat, dissented from the herd.

Not surprising... I said when we pulled out of Iraq, that we did it in preparations for Iran. I also said that Israel was told to sit tight until the Presidential Election was over and Obama gets re-elected.
Oh and btw... I always had very little respect for politicians in general, and while I don't always agree with Ron Paul on every subject... he is the only politician I have found to be worth a damn. I'd be proud to have him represent me in any form of government.
