Four more F-16 fighter jets left the U.S. on Thursday headed for Egypt as part of a foreign aid package that has generated controversy given the political upheaval in the Mideast country.
Critics say the military aid should stop because the president Egyptians elected last year has led the Muslim Brotherhood, called President Obama liar and urged that hatred of Jews be instilled in children.
A source who works on the naval air base in Fort Worth, Texas, confirmed to FoxNews.com the departure of the state-of-the-art fighter planes. The new shipment brings the total number of F-16 jets given to Egypt this year to 12.
Eight more F-16s will be given to the Egyptian government before the end of the year as part of a billion-dollar foreign aid deal signed in 2010 with then-Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a longtime U.S. ally. The U.S. also will send 200 Abrams tanks.
Critics, including several in Congress, say it doesn't make sense to follow through with the package. While current Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi has toned down his rhetoric since his election last summer, in 2010 Morsi attacked Obama for supporting Israel.

What could go wrong? Obama's generosity knows no bounds when he is giving away other people's property - especially when he is giving to those who hate America and oppose freedom.
Wonder how Netanyahu feels about all of this?
We are clearly no longer any friend of the israeli people, and are providing their enemies with the means to destroy them., no matter what the lying communist in the oval office has to say.
But we’re grounding ours.
This must stop. Contact your Congress Critters.
Yes. Large numbers of them.
How great Morsi must feel today... to have a friend as an elected leader of his enemy.
We have a devout muslim sock-puppet, anti-Semitic, and anti-American living in our White House. Is anybody the slightest bit surprised?
and America takes another one in the........
I imagine Netanyahu knows that most Americans support Israel. It’s just the communist in our White House and the antisemitic left who want Israel annihilated. I suspect Netanyahu trusts Obama as much as is appropriate, as much as Caesar should have trusted Brutus, Mufasa should have trusted Scar, or the Apostles should have trusted Judas. Personally, I trust Obama as much as I trust Jane Fonda, Robert Hanssen, and Aldrich Ames.
Obama needs to be called on this. Where the Hell are our representatives? They are completly powerless under this destroyer.
Our Representatives passed a law which gives this power to the President. They only way they can stop it is to pass a law, which he would have to sign.
Beyond pi$$ed.
Dear God America’s enemy’s OWN Washington D.C......
How can the HOUSE keep funding these obominations?
We are permanently past that point, friend.
