World's Greatest Co-Dependent - Part Deux
by Jack Lee....
Let me show you exactly what I mean by U.S. Co-dependent behavior. These are nations we deal with on a regular basis, some are touted as our best "friends" in the middle east. The old saying "with friends like these who needs enemies" comes to mind.
Below are their voting records which are recorded in both the US
State Department and United Nations records for anyone to check out:
Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time.
United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.
US Foreign Aid to those that hate us:
Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.
Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
Pakistan votes 75% against the United States receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.
India votes 81% against the United States receives $143,699,000 annually.
Now keep in mind these are mostly middle east nations. There are plenty of dysfunctional relationships with other nations around the world where we give money and resources.
"Co-dependency is a dance of dysfunctional relationships - of relationships that do not work to meet our needs, at the same time we assume nobody can get along without us."
Ok, does the above quote, taken from my first article, make even more sense now? You knew it had to be bad, but this bad? Even a cynic like me was stunned, but now I'm just mad. Part III coming up Thursday...fasten your seat belts!
