John Kerry Defends Obama Admin’s F-16 Gifts to Muslim Brotherhood-Ruled Egypt

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) on Thursday defended the Obama administration’s gift of four F-16 fighter jets to Egypt despite Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi’s newly-surfaced comments referring to Israelis as “descendents of apes and pigs.”

Kerry, during his confirmation hearing to be the next secretary of state, told Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) the foreign aid package was worked out in 2010 when Hosni Mubarak still ruled Egypt.

“The fact that sometimes other countries elect someone you don’t agree with doesn’t give us permission to walk away,” Kerry said.

He called Morsi’s comments “reprehensible” and “unacceptable by anyone’s standard.”

“Those comments set back possibilities of working towards mutual issues of mutual interest,” he said. “They are degrading comments, they’re unacceptable by anyone’s standard and I think they have to be apologized for.”

But he said despite Morsi’s words, Kerry said the U.S. has a “critical interest” in Egypt — hence following through on the aid package.

“Not everything lends itself to a simple classification, black or white,” Kerry said. “We have critical interests with Egypt, critical interests. Egypt has thus far supported, lived by peace agreements with Israel and has taken steps to deal with the problem of security in the Sinai. Those are vital to us, our security interests and the security interests of Israel.”

Kerry is wrong they know what those guys are about and the sharia law and them killing kids and teaching them hate and telling people what to do. the thing is, is these people are in the ivory pa house and think no1 can touch them they have money and power they can see what goes on almost everywhere but they forgot GOD is all seeing eyes they have no idea what he is doing. Even though he tells us a lot but not quit everything. the curse will befall them and the curse will come from GOD.There is no where in this world or out of this world that GOD won’t know your every move where you are at all times he is a spirit he is supernatural and he is the alpha and the omega he is the beginning and the end If I pass today I am ready but If they are not save they are not ready.

A prophecy, October 9, 1973: “But beware — should the Eagle [U.S.A.] not spread its wings and give protection, then the Anti-Christ shall reign upon the earth, and the time of famine shall be upon your doorsteps. We have prepared that, as we have said before, to give you warning before each of these that should happen. But the nation of Israel shall stand, and the nation of the eagle shall stand, for they stand before God. And where once before the eagle nation [Rome] destroyed and scattered among the nations those of the servants of God, now the karmic action stands forth again. Therefore, place your minds in unisance.”

Well, one can hope that these aircraft, and the M1 tanks are equipted with an undetectable RF Chip where if they are used against Israel, the IDF could send a signal on that frequency which would fry the internal computor components.

Nahhhh, they wouldn’t do that.

We may end up having to shoot those F-16s down someday. The people who want to ban assault weapons pass out F-16s to muslims!

When you give aid to the enemy or the enemy of you alliance isn’t that an act of treason? How in the world can you give weapons to a sworn enemy of Israel and not be arrested for treason? Have our leaders lost their minds as well as their spines? It’s actions like this that will guarantee an attack on Israel. Who will our administration support when the conflict starts?

No, but you don’t have to arm them at your own expense either.

20 F-16 Fighter Jets and 200 Tanks s quite a gift to someone that speaks ‘reprehensible’ things and is unapologetic about it…

  Maybe we could have held on to the fighter jets and tanks until AFTER he apologized?
  
  Just a thought.

Jews need to ask themselves if they still think it’s smart to support a President that arms a country that has no need of these weapons except in a war against Israel.

They will be used against us to kill American soldiers. Egypt will attack Israel and we will (reluctantly with Obama at the helm) back Israel. The American soldiers will be killed using this assinine gift to the Muslim Brotherhood.

We are a nation of idiots, and the biggest dolts of all sit in Washington DC.

We are doomed!
