Obama’s gift to the Egyptians

Twenty F-16 fighter planes and 200 Abrams tanks


Follow the money, your money. We just gave the unstable Egyptian government 20 F-16 fighter planes and 200 Abrams tanks with full order delivery by the end of the year.

Just, exactly, who are the Egyptians going to defend against? The tanks are made by General Dynamics, heavy supporters of Democratic campaigns, 2/3 of their business is pentagon contracts, based in Chicago. The planes are made by Boeing, strong supporters of Democratic campaigns, close ties to the Obama administration, based in Chicago. Since the original deal was made, leadership of the country has changed to the anti-Israel, anti-American, leader of the Muslim-Brotherhood, Mohammed Morsi. So it is entirely possible that if the United States is called upon in the future to assist Israel in defending against attack, our soldiers could be looking down the barrels of tanks that were gifts from the U.S. This gift to Egypt provided two Obama supporters a nice chunk of change at the expense of Israeli and American security.
