We keep hearing from various 'sources' here that Israel is such a great, successful country...
If Israel is so successful why does it need a billion dollar, 10 year military aid package?
Why is it that they are showing reluctance at accepting $3 billion a year in military aid and looking for "more generous" aid package?
"American officials have balked as their Israeli counterparts insisted on more generous terms for a new 10-year military aid package that could top $40 billion."

Netanyahu wanted to go it alone. I have the transcript of his speech to Congress.
Bill Clinton talked him out of it.
Wow, I didn't realise Uncle Bill was still Pres ...

However, 15 years on, it really doesn't appear that Israel wants to go it alone at all... It is actually not happy with the $3 billion a year, it wants more!
