For so long it was a measure to ram it thru and originally the Israeli aid was separate, as well as several other aid packages.

>> It's a dark day in America
* rather than delay-delay-delay for no good purpose. Blah-blah-blah, we've heard it all before. Nothing will change. Further delays and more "debate" won't change a thing. Let's get on with it! MOVE! Time to shit or get off the pot, as my dad used to say.

They planned it for a long time and it's working out really well for them.

and Netanyahu had warning signs before they attacked and chose to ignore those signs just like Bush jr. did before 9/11. I believe Netanyahu did so purposely so he had a reason to start a war with Hamas, not that I think Hamas is in anyway innocent. They are terrorists in my way of thinking.

Surely Bernie has been in the Senate long enough to understand how the Senate works and what a cloture vote is?
