Yeah, LET’s not do a smart deal that keeps these nations dependent on American made weapons and military supplies. Let not do a deal that rewards them for their intelligence and political support against the Terrorists. Let not do a deal that keeps our Defense contractors at work and drives up our exports.

And creates American jobs and lowers unit costs for the US military.

No lets drive these nations into the arms of the Chinese or the Russians or the French, (or worse a neutrality pack with Iran)just because a bunch of American political trash, along with their Leftist slaves in the US Junk Media, hate the current President.

The Saudis PAY for everything including all of the costs of the people to train them and provide the logistical support. We have been selling the Saudis arms for over 40 years, including giving them AWACS.

Selling arms is a very competitive business. The UK, French, Russians, and Chinese will sell the Saudis whatever they want. The Chinese already sold them IRBMs in the mid-80s. If they buy our weapons, it gives us some leverage on how they will be used. If Congress kills this deal, it will be cutting our nose off to spite our face. It will be interesting to learn what AIPAC's position is on the sale. More than likely, that will be the position of Congress.

My bet is that it’s 50/50 with congress killing this bill since the dems will do anything to destroy the country and the adm.

Israel is not opposed to this transaction.
