#1 WTF is he talking about? The blank check that permitted Israel to return to the Litani line, and keep it, in summer '06? Or the re-occupation of Gaza? Or the dismantling of the sham of the PA in the west bank?

Just wondering which blank check he's referring to.

#3 That "blank check" was for years a loan, that was dutifully repaid by Israel every year. Otherwise, about the only things "given" to Israel were intangibles, such as the right to buy specialized US weaponry, and intelligence information about those that menaced Israel.
