US To Send Four F-16s To Egypt

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We have only one question regarding this just released news...

... And that would be: WHO gets the jets? The overthrown president, formerly fully endorsed and supported by the US, or the non-MB forces that last week staged a coup in the US-supported country?

I wouldn't be surprised if Mossad sent a hit squad after their own agent-traitor US Senate operatives.

It's time to cut off aid to a couple of these countries to show that we mean business.  Let's start with Pakistan and Egypt.  They are not our friends. 

Why do we keep ruining our credit by racking up more debt to help all these countries?

Because there are no downsides for the people who make these decisions.

F-16 production line workers are happy. Egyptian military is happy. State Department is happy.

The cost is spread over all future taxpayers. And the future doesn't vote.

It's a great question to ask who gets the jets.  Another question comes to mind after that.....

 

Who's gonna fly the damn things?

Lets see, 2 months wort of grain supply, no money, 4 F16 coming on top of the 200 they have?

This is about keeping the jobs on F16 production line.

No problem. I am sure the NSA loaded them with plenty of hidden cameras and transmitters. Soon we will know more about the Egyptian air force and command & control than the Egyptian military does. Oops! Did I leak something..... I'd better head for the Moscow airport...

Jose, sure they did.

They also get sent with the super-special self destruct charge hidden in airframe.

How many F-16s do they already have? I see where someone here says 200.

TO understand what is happening in Egypt today : 

http://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2013/07/10/qui-aide-financierement...

The Moslem brotherhood supported by Qatar is now replaced by the Salafist clique supported by Saudi, UAE and Kuwait, to the tune of 12 billion $ payable immediately; and the Generals now bow to their new Islamist leaders behind the curtain; all with the blessing of Uncle Sam.

We continue to play that Oligrchy game : change everything so that nothing changes behind the curtain.

What does one of thes airplanes cost?  Under what authority does our government just simply GIVE this stuff away?  How many manhours did the struggling American worker have to work for his taxes to pay for just one of these donations?  Why is there no outrage over the forced theft of money from Americans, so that politicians can simply give the stolen plunder to their political friends?

This is wrong on so many different levels.

its a joke because who is maintaining those birds? and who is training the pilots? or are we supplying both in addition to flying them in the near future...? Did you enjoy the pro Morsi demonstrations in Chicago... not nearly enough violence in that lib bastion so lets import more unrest. And tell me again exactly why the saudi tackled leaving the Boston bombing, scheduled to be deported for terrorist related activities, but reversed by Holder, was at the white house 4th of July celebratin with his father and brother and 3-4 other saudis>>> Obumbler / Jarrett plotted for 3 yeasrs with the muslim brotherhood whose illustrious members include the current #1 in al queda.. AND yes the same crew that did Benghazi / what difference does it make. Can you please rerun the tape of the brotherhood boys sodomizing the ambassador one more time... we're from doctor morsi and its ok. And lets not forget the heart eating "freedom fighter" in syria...yes were funding him and alqueda there too... Are you smelling something yet...
