I'd be like WHAT THE FUCK, and then I' have my aides make a blueprint for the King as to how he can give his own goddamned country some money from his fucking BANK ACCOUNT...
How asenine is Bush to even hold a straight face when something like aid is asked for by an ungodly rich King...?!!!!!

Let's put it this way. Jordan is run by more competent management than several western countries.
Jordan also is providing considerable facilities to the US - what you want? Free rent?
BTW.. WonderWoman is correct re Israel where the US gives around 30% of total US aid.
Also the term "US aid" does not exactly mean "real aid" - it's compensation for costs incurred playing silly games on behalf of the US. Basically, you want shit - you pay for it.
