Developing: Pakistani Plane Escorted by UK Fighter Jets — 2 Men Arrested

Obama Admin Going Ahead with F-16 Shipment to Muslim Brotherhood-Ruled Egypt
The ongoing civil strife in Egypt, its Muslim Brotherhood president grabbing sweeping powers, and a cooling of relations with Israel don’t seem to be making much of an impression on the Defense Department’s foreign military aid decisions.
The Obama administration is going ahead with a delivery of 20 F-16 fighter jets to the Muslim Brotherhood-led country, even as Amnesty International is calling “dangerous” President Mohammed Morsi’s decision to grant the military the power to arrest civilians protesting against him.
Fox News reports the 20 F-16s are part of a $1 billion foreign aid package:
The first four jets are to be delivered to Egypt beginning Jan. 22, a source at the naval air base in Fort Worth, where the planes have been undergoing testing, told FoxNews.com. The North African nation already has a fleet of more than 200 of the planes and the latest shipment merely fulfills an order placed two years ago. But given the uncertainty in Cairo, some critics wonder if it is wise to be sending more top gun planes.
“Should an overreaction [by Egypt] spiral into a broader conflict between Egypt and Israel, such a scenario would put U.S. officials in an embarrassing position of having supplied massive amounts of military hardware … to both belligerents,” said Malou Innocent, a foreign policy analyst at the Cato Institute. “Given Washington’s fiscal woes, American taxpayers should no longer be Egypt’s major arms supplier.”
The U.S. government ordered and paid for the fighter jets for Egypt’s military as part of foreign aid for Egypt back in 2010, when Hosni Mubarak ruled. The fighter jets were supposed to be delivered in 2013, and delivery will go ahead as scheduled even though Hosni Mubarak has been removed from power and replaced by Mohamed Morsi, who led the Muslim Brotherhood before becoming Egypt’s president.
Among the decision’s critics, Rick Moran of The American Thinker writes:
Considering the fact that the Egyptian military has just aligned themselves with President Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, this is a stupid, stupid, move.[…]
The question a third grader might ask is, “Who are those planes more likely to be used against? Iran or Israel?” Unfortunately, there was no third grader around that our procurement folks at the State Department could ask so we are apparently going to arm a military whose political leader headed up an organization that has vowed to destroy Israel.
A Pentagon spokesman is defending the sale. “The U.S.-Egypt defense relationship has served as the cornerstone of our broader strategic partnership for over thirty years,” Lt. Col. Wesley Miller told Fox. “The delivery of the first set of F-16s in January 2013 reflects the U.S. commitment to supporting the Egyptian military’s modernization efforts. Egyptian acquisition of F-16s will increase our militaries’ interoperability, and enhance Egypt’s capacity to contribute to regional mission sets,” he added.

Posted on December 11, 2012 at 2:38pmFairly good technology to be given to what is soon to be a primitive culture in Egypt. I really hope that Morsi gets full of himself and messes with Israel.
When one Israeli Ace pilot brings down his entire Air Force it will be a good object lesson. Of course by this time Egypt will be a bankrupt nation and he won’t be able to afford a multi-billion dollar Airforce anymore. So it’s back to AK-47′s RPG’s, and Suicide Vests.

Nope. He could openly hand the Brotherhood a nuke and the Democrats still would not convict in the Senate. So any republican that voted for the impeachment would be branded as a racist in the MSM out to get the first gay dog eating black president. He can do nearly anything he wants. This is what the people voted for. The people wouldn’t care if those F16s are used to kill Americans either. They didn’t give a damn about Libya so they won’t care about this either.

If the brotherhood does not capitilize on this position I would be very surprised. Look for Barry to give them more cover and support for the rape, murder and destruction of anything that stands for Good or Freedom on Earth.

Posted on December 11, 2012 at 1:21pmInteresting…
“The kicker here is that the 1979 column was written by none other than Vernon Jarrett, longtime influential Chicago black leftist, close friend of Frank Marshall Davis, and father-in-law of Valerie Jarrett, the closest aide to President Obama, and a major figure in his rise within the Chicago political world.
There is no proof of anything here, of course. We don’t know that a close associate of the Saudi royal family funneled oil money into the education of Barack Obama (and presumably other Americans) on spec, hoping he would rise through the political system and be in a position to cripple American oil production and take a hard line against Israel’s defense against a nuclear attack. There is no proof ot it. But there is a reasonable suspicion, given the pedigrees of Jarrett and Sutton, that these influential figures actually do know something about the inside story of the curious, inexplicable rise of Barack Obama on the slender reed of his actual accomplishments in life.”

Will they change their mission sets to include destroying Israel and the US? Probably. We aren’t arming an allied nation we’re arming militant theocracies that HATE any one who isn’t Islamic. And yet Obama(and anyone under him who doesn’t want to vanish) still believes he has complete power and retain it after they attack the US. Is he that over confident or has all this been a ruse?
