Calls grow to pull plug on US gifts of tanks, F-16 jets to Egypt  Published January 10, 2013
FoxNews.com    Washington –  Republican Rep. Vern Buchanan urged President Obama Thursday to stop the shipments of 20 American F-16 fighter jets and 200 Abrams tanks to Egypt. The Florida Congressman is part of a growing chorus of critics who have asked the administration to pull the plug on the $213 million deal.
“Simply put, the U.S. should not be providing military assistance to a regime that supports Hamas and is looking more and more like a dictatorship than a trustworthy democracy,” Buchanan wrote in a letter dated Jan. 10.
 
Buchanan recently called for ending foreign aid to Egypt altogether and told FoxNews.com last month that the Muslim Brotherhood-backed government has been sending increasingly troubling signals to Washington, and giving it state-of-the-art fighter jets is a dangerous idea.
“We can no longer afford to buy friends across the world that do not have our best interest in mind,” Buchanan said in his letter. “As American’s debt continues to skyrocket, we need to be focusing on policies that grow the U.S. economy, create jobs and reduce the massive federal debt.”
 
The multi-million deal, paid for by taxpayer money, is part of a foreign aid package signed when American ally Hosni Mubarak was president.
“A Shariah dictatorship on Israel’s border – armed with American weapons – is a deadly threat to Israel and America,” reads a petition being circulated by The American Center for Law and Justice. “All U.S. funding to Egypt must be cut off until we can certify that aid to Egypt will help the national security interests of the United States and Israel.”
 
The petition has garnered more than 150,000 signatures, and ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow believes it could bolster mounting opposition in Washington. Although the deal has already been approved by Congress and could only be rescinded by President Obama, Sekulow said lawmakers have leverage because Obama needs their backing for some $1.5 billion in aid earmarked for Egypt later this year.

THis travesty would not be a sale, it's a GIFT from imam obama to his muslim brotherhood in Egypt, the same ones he gave money and weapons to in all of the takeovers in that region. The same ones who hate us, refuse to recognize Israel as a free nation, the same ones who support hamas and the squatting, murdering palis.
NOW, how about an explaination from you obamaites as to why your hero is wanting to GIVE all these weapons to Americas enemy??? I mean other than the obvious, thats he's a dyed in the wool muslim and hates America, including ALL of us here. POWDERMAN.

Why have we supplied arms over several decades and administrations to a number Arab (Muslim) nations? Probably for the reasons as to Egypt.

Guzzi. Hussein wants to do this to strengthen his muslim brotherhood, the same ones he helped in libya and the others to unite all of the you know what nations to have ONE VOICE. Tell me how this would be good for America please. WE should NOT be arming our enemies or Israels. POWDERMAN. 

[powderman]

HMMMMMMM. Another possibility. Egypt supports hamas and the squatting palis, they have promised and bragged about destroying Gods people, the ones that feed them. Ya reckon this is imam obamas way of doing his part in serving his master satan?? NAAAAAAHHHHH, couldn't be. Could it?? POWDERMAN. 

[ironglow]

Only one question left to ask...is he Sunni or Shia?

[boomerralph]

Something is not right here
213 million deal?
IIRC an Abrams is $4.3 million which is $860 million, and an f16 is about $17 million each which is another $340 million or more like $1.2 BILLION!!
As usual the govt. is lying to us!!
 

[Cemo]

I was thinkin the same thing boomeralph. The numbers don't add up.

[lakota]

You guys are missing the point. We keep sending the Egyptians money and crap trying to buy their affections and they still hate us. Maybe this will be the one gift that pushes them over the top and makes them love us! Who cares what the price tag is, the love of the Egyptians is priceless!
