Congressmen: Obama 'Reckless' to Arm Egypt with F-16 Fighter Jets
breitbart.com ^ | 12/29/12 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 12/29/2012 1:13:30 PM PST by ColdOne

On Thursday Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX) criticized the Obama administration for sending twenty F-16 fighter jets to the new Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Egyptian government.

"It is reckless and unwise for the U.S. to give F-16s to Egypt and its new president/dictator, controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood," Poe explained. "This extremist group is notoriously anti-American and anti-Israel. The United States should not be arming a country ruled by a group that has the destruction of Israel in its charter."

I’m sure this approval sailed through without a hitch. Birds of a feather.

What a waste of good airplanes. The IDF will just shoot them down without breaking a sweat.

You beat me to it. Having the hardware and being able to use it to the limits of its design are 2 different things.

If regular EAF pilots are flying them, they will seek asylum and land. If MBs are flying them they will be nothing but targets.

Wanna guess what the ROEs will be for IAF fighters and missile batteries when these planes are spotted approaching Israeli airspace or ships in the Med?

Lemme get this right...

Hussein thinks Americans shouldn't have .22 rifles, but Muslim dictator governments can have the world's most capable fighter aircraft.

Got it.

If you didn't know where you stood before, you would be nuts not to know now

Egypt just adopted a Shari law constitution and it’s president has vowed to destroy Israel.

Why are we arming this anti-American, terrorists nation?

Thanks, Democrats.

Why are we arming this anti-American, terrorists nation?

First, understand I am not kidding and I am not wrong.

Obama is a Muslim traitor who is doing everything he can to destroy America.

From Fiscal Cliff talks to arming rebels in Libya and Syria, Obama is working for the Muslim terrorists, not for Americans.

Benghazi was about Obama giving weapons to Libyan rebels. Who are they?

Rebels = Al Qaeda

Syrian rebels = Al Qaeda

Egyptian Aid = Muslim Brotherhood who are nothing but Muslim Terrorists.

Would it be wrong to call Obama a Muslim Terrorist? Actually, it would be an understatement of who this SOB really is. Arab Spring was nothing but Obama overthrowing governments to replace them with Muslim terrorists. Obama removed American troops from Iraq not for the good of America but simply to allow terrorists attacks to increase to allow the government to be overthrown.

Obama shares the Muslim dreams of a world under Sharia law.

F-16 + Egypt = Jobs + $$$$ for those who influenced the sale. Just follow the $$$ forget the politics.

I looked into this a little and asked a super tech in military about F-10’s....he told F-10’s are crappy planes. When I said they were new....he said they wouldn’t have our latest technology. He didn’t think it was a big deal-—and he’s no fan of Obama.

Another Congressman who doesn’t understand Obama.

Obama is a Muslim and his aim is to destroy the United States as it is today.

He said it, why don’t people believe him.

I hate Obama just as much as anyone, but honestly all of our leaders have been either selling or giving away our technology for decades.

I don’t understand for the life of me why any country would give away the technology it spent billions to develop so that it could be the unmatched military power in the world. Thus forcing it to spend even more to stay ahead. One advancement in military technology can keep a country on top for a 1,000 years if the secret is kept to itself. History is full of examples.

The Israelis won't have to shoot them down.From what I hear the f-16 is a high maintence aircraft.From what my brother told me when he was a helicopter flight instructor for the Army, muslims do not believe in performing maintence on aircraft. They say that it is beneath their dignty, it iswork for infidels. He said that you could not get one to do a preflight check on aaircraft. He hated to have them in his class.

just let the muslims fly them for a while and they will start falling out of the air from lack of maintence.
