We've been selling Saudi Arabia weapons since just after WW-II. why stop now? Thats what we have a full run of F-22's for, inc case they decide they don't like us. Oh, wait, we cancelled most of the F-22s. huh, that was a dumb idea wasn't it.

Why? Even if you sold them 10x this, you'd still out gun them 2,000,000,000:1.

Silly Kao, if they decide they don't like us, they'll just stop selling us oil.

Of course they're not. We already discussed this. The funds are going to pay for the hiring of illegal Canadians to send the money back home.

Loob,

Because being friends with and selling them 100's of millions worth of firearms are the same thing right?

I guess I should be happy that he's selling them but somehow I don't think any funds gained from the sell are going to the american people.
I doubt Lockheed is simply giving Barry the planes that will, in turn, be sold to the Saudis.

From a foreign relations perspective, yeah. Did you think nations made "friendships" just to keep from being lonely on the weekends? You make them to benefit your nation.

Jophed,

Glad to hear you finally say it. We've known for years that Democrats don't have a problem with guns; they just have a problem with americans with guns.


But... he didn't say that? o_O

Obviously this deal is so Saudi civilians have an F-15 handy for when some Mexicans start hanging out outside their home.

The only reason to sell billions of dollars of state of the art weaponry to the Saudis is to promote peace and stability in a region noted for its tribal and national animosity. Thats why the Israelis get them too! And the Iraqis.Smiley: schooled

I'll tell you the same thing I told other people. If you want a nuke, Kleine Brogel's security consists of 3-4 security guards and a dog. Untrained college kids have been able to breach their security in the past, and it took multiple hours for the security teams to notice.

Theft is way cheaper than engineers.

Just sayin'.

Yeah, but then you have to get it out of Belgium. Mile after mile after mile of cows staring at you, their eyes full of bovine reproach. That's the kind of thing that drives a man insane.

Yes, but now that Bush isn't in charge, we need to bomb them.
There is a desperate need for more hideously expensive wars.
But it'll stimulate the economy!
