US Gives 4 More F-16 Fighter Jets To Egyptian Gov't Despite Outcry

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.

Satan's arming his troops and Obama’s his lackey.

We are on a collision course with that scripture.

Thanks Nachum.

While current Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi has toned down his rhetoric since his election last summer, in 2010 Morsi attacked Obama for supporting Israel.

And that's why Zero's sending the planes.

Good idea. F-16s can be used for things like Savage Islamic Attack on St. Mark Cathedral Allowed by Egyptian Forces

This would be a deal if they were going to pay for the jets. They aren't.

This was a gift from one muzzie POS to a country full of muzzie POS's.
