After all, it always makes Muslim countries such grateful and cooperative allies of the U.S., now, doesn't it?
"Clinton offers U.S. aid to help boost Muslim ties," from Reuters, November 3 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):
MARRAKESH, Morocco, Nov 3 (Reuters) - The United States will deliver on President Barack Obama's promise of a "new start" with the world's Muslims, offering fresh programmes to promote entrepreneurship, economic development and education, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday.Clinton, speaking to a development forum in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh, said the programmes would also aim to encourage scientific and technical collaboration, women's empowerment and cooperation between faiths.
"Women's empowerment"?
promote entrepreneurship, economic development and education, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday.
What...? No health care with a public option?
Whatever...just keep raising our taxes and giving it away. Useless idiots have no clue and just keep throwing money around like's it's an unlimited resource. Not only is obama trying to distribute the wealth in the US; it appears this is some sort of global plan as well. It wouldn't be so bad if these countries we're supporting didn't hate us so much and want to use the funds to further their (jihadi) cause.
.
So we borrow money from China to give it to.. Morocco?
LOL
i thought I heard the media prattle on how Hitlery is the most intelligent women, check that, person in politics.
LOL
Could-a fooled me!
Dhimmi [w]itch!

"Clinton, speaking to a development forum in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh, said the programmes would also aim to encourage scientific and technical collaboration... "
Read - one way technology transfer from us to them.
"... women's empowerment and cooperation between faiths."
Sounds like Islam-bashing to me.
my money tree is tapped out....stop giving the fruits of my labor to Muslims would ya.
"Millions for defense, not a penny for tribute."
Sounded good then, sounds good now.
.
Never sounded better!
.
"Scientific and technical cooperation"? It is precisely the failure of Islam to encourage the kind of mentality that allows for "scientific and technical" achievements of the the non-Islamic, chiefly Western world, that allows us to keep ahead of, and thus safe from, the aggressive and violent world of Islam.
Churchill, having observed its "votaries" up close, wrote of Islam in 1899, when the forces of Islam in the world were far weaker than they are today:
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries…
...Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science – the science against which it had vainly struggled – the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."
"Sheltered in the strong arms of science" -- science we can conduct because we are not in thrall to a Total Belief-System, that is Islam, that encourages the habit of mental submission, and discourages all free and skeptical inquiry.
Shall we nonetheless be so ready to share the fruits of our own efforts with those who would, if they could, change our societies irremediably, undo our own laws and customs and institutions and ways in order to remove all obstacles to the spread, and then the dominance, of Islam?
Why?
Empower Muslim women? Muslim women and their WOMBS are so effing 'empowered' they are taking over EUROPE.
From Hugh above...Shall we nonetheless be so ready to share the fruits of our own efforts with those who would, if they could, change our societies irremediably, undo our own laws and customs and institutions and ways in order to remove all obstacles to the spread, and then the dominance, of Islam?
For a second there I had a vision of Rasool Obama...
According to Pravda, the Russians think he is a Sunni Muslim...
I'm minutes away from going to my boss and telling him
to stop taking taxes from my pay and that I will take care of it myself.
Meaning they will have to pry the jizya from my cold,dead wallet!
Enlightenment is the reward of enlightenment. Ignorance is the penalty for ignorance.
The so-called "friendship" with Morocco dates back, the Moroccans who come to Washington to cajole more aid from the people who rule us, to the earliest days of the Republic. It's true: there was an early treaty with Morocco. But that treaty was broken by the Moroccans, and the first country the American Republic went to war with, was -- despite that treaty -- Morocco.
In the days of the Cold War, the Americans had an airbase in Morocco. They put a lot of money into it. But the Moroccoan government still could not let the Moroccans themselves know about whatever "cooperation" there was with (Infidel) America, and the Americans seen around were described as trainers for the Moroccan military. In any case, in 1967 the Moroccans used the excuse of the Six-Day War to kick the Americans out of Morocco, and to appropriate that very big, very modern, airbase that American money and knowhow had built. With Qaddafy's coup in Libya two years later, the same thing happened to Wheelus Air Base. And the Americans were then gone from North Africa. But the American government and military keep on showing such naive faith in various Arab and Musiml "allies." There is meretricious Pakistan. There is arrogant and sinister Saudi Arabia, treating the American servicemen as the "blue-eyed slaves" who are there only to defend the Al-Saud regime, and who have reported on the contumely with which local Saudi officials treated them. There is Iraq, where America built all kinds of advanced bases, and where not one will remain to be used by the Americans when they leave Iraq. Turkey prevented the Americans from using their bases during the Iraq War, and that was before Turkey became even more openly anti-American and anti-Western than it is today, six years later.
How many tens or hundreds of billions have been wasted in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, the "Palestinian" territories, on economic and military aid, in a vain attempt to find a permanent base, and what's more real allies, when no Muslim country -- none -- can conceivably be a real or permanent ally of any Infidel land. This is not hard to understand, if you learn what Islam inculcates. And if you don't learn what Islam inculcates, you have no business making American foreign policy, or even trying to influence it from the outside.
A truly clueless woman and in so many ways. This is just one more of them.
"So we borrow money from China to give it to.. Morocco?"
Just to clarify, we actually PAY to borrow money from China to give it to Morocco.
.
I thought that was abundantly clear.
.
You can thank our President and Congress for giving the power to appointees, like Hillary, to obtain applause from our enemies by giving other peoples (yours) money away, and lots of it.
.
Why exactly do we want "closer ties" with .... Morocco? What on Earth for?
.
Just part of spreading our wealth around fellas...it's just a few bucks. Just like the little sum that the one signed into law to build hearts and minds with the towelband...Sad but True!
.
Why exactly do we want "closer ties" with .... Morocco? What on Earth for?

in what way has Morocco improved anything on the planet?...
Re. Morocco: here is something that Hugh Fitzgerald posted over at New English Review, earlier this year.
It says all that needs to be said.

"Paul Bowles On How Muslims Think Of Christians
'Morocco used to be a place where Western homosexuals liked to go.
'Gide, for example, who makes much of the Arab catamites of north Africa.
'Or Juan Goytisolo, who after a most unhappy mariage blanc left his wife and moved to Morocco, for what he fondly believed was "Muslim tolerance" of practices that "Catholic" Spain would never tolerate, and descended into the madness of malevolent anti-Israel attitudes that, for all I know, may have had less to do with going native than with the resentment he quite unnecessarily directed at his former wife, Michelle Lange, a relative of, inter alia, Proust and Bergson.
'Now, perhaps beginning to see the light, Goytisolo may be learning that Morocco isn’t the permanent paradise he took it to be. If he wants the kind of toleration that will last, perhaps he should move to Israel, the country he loves to hate.
'But far better known than Goytisolo, among the Western homosexuals who chose Morocco as their home, is an American writer, the late Paul Bowles.
'Bowles moved to Tangier, when it was still under the control of Europeans, and when its population contained many French and Spanish as well as Berbers and Arabs.
'In later life he would complain about how dull Tangier, and the rest of Morocco, had become, once the Westerners, or most of them, had left. By dull he meant culturally, dull in all the ways that might matter.
'No doubt there was always the excitement generated by the hysteria of the street, and those voices always so much louder than those in the West, so often, just below the surface of sluggish inshallah-fatalism, restraining a hysteria that can be brought easily to the surface by a word or a look.
' Bowles was no fool about Islam. Here is what he said in a late interview:
'"INTERVIEWER: But isn't there a special psychological dimension to the situation of a foreigner living in Morocco?
'It seems to me that a foreigner here is often looked upon automatically as a kind of victim.
BOWLES: Well, he *is* a victim.
The Moroccans wouldn't use the word. They'd say "a useful object."
They believe that they, as Moslems, are the master group in the world,
and that God allows other religious groups to exist principally for them to manipulate.
{NOTE: that is (judging from what I have read in, for example, 'The Dhimmi') to use and abuse, for fun - often cruel, murderous fun - or profit; to kick and to spit upon, and to throw stones at; plaything, chewtoy, milch cow, punching bag, scapegoat, and human sacrifice candidate aka ticket to allah's paradise…as the murdered Infidel’s blood flows, the Muslim murderer wins his entry to paradise - dda}.
'That seems to be the average man's attitude. Since it's not expressed as a personal opinion but is tacitly accepted by all, I don't find it objectionable.
'Once a thing like that is formulated you don't have to worry about the character of the person who professes it. {WTF? - *I* would worry! - dda}. It's no longer a question of whether or not he agrees with it as part of his personal credo."
' Fifty years of living in Morocco, and Paul Bowles offers this clear-sighted summing-up:
"They believe that they, as Moslems, are the master group in the world, and that God allows other religious groups to exist principally for them to manipulate."
Print that out. Put that on your refrigerator. Send that into the Internet ether, to as many places as you can.

"A useful object". That is the most that in the eyes of Muslims we can be, ladies and gentlemen, we kafir persons and our nations. Things. Not persons. Things. Things to be used; and if we cease to be perceived, by the narcissistic Muslim Uebermenschen, as useful or profitable, well, you and I all know what one does to a broken chair, or to a dog or horse that grows too old to work, or that refuses to be obedient, don't we?
If Obama is Muslim, that's what he'd be - a Sunni Muslim, since that predominates the ummah in Somalia, Kenya, Sudan, Eritrea and Affas & Issas. So there's no way he'd be a Shia. If the Russkies are figuring that the Shia are their allies and Sunnis their enemies (how does that factor in the opposition they're getting from Azerbaijan?), then they are right as far as Obama goes.
Back to Morocco, ain't they an gas rich country, like Algeria next door?
And more on Morocco: an article by one Sarah Braasch, to which another poster here drew attention, a couple of months ago.
http://www.ffrf.org/fttoday/2008/oct/braasch.php
Here's the opening paragraph.
"I nearly broke under the weight of oppression. The air felt thick with it. I burst into tears at work.
I cried myself to sleep at night, listening to the cacophony of cries and screams of the domestic servant girls, some of them Moroccan, some of them foreign, being beaten and raped in the darkness".
