I wonder if Egypt will use them to kill more Christians exiting Christmas Mass.

Until June 2009, the United States repeatedly denied Egyptian requests to purchase arms because of Egypt's record on human rights and democracy, according to website F-16.net. That policy has changed under President Obama.

Of course it has changed. 0bama is seeing to the needs of his brother muslims.

I hate to sound racist, but Arab countries have proven to be singularly inept in using advanced weapons.

Their forces seem to be poorly trained and motivated, their leadership standards aren't up to the level of abysmal, they lack the self discipline for serious training and drill. The entire concept of preventive and periodic maintenance is foreign to them. Trust between the officers and ranks is nonexistent. In their armies, as in their society, privilege inures to rank without a concomitant sense of responsibility.

So what if they are fanatical? As Patton said, you don't become a hero by dieing for your country; you become a hero by making the other son of bitch die for his country.

Could be a buy-off to get them to behave themselves when Israel attacks Iran. When the attack happens these nations agree to “voice outrage” and then do nothing.

Alienate your allies and suck up to your enemies
