“The idea that we are going to reward the Saudis with precision weaponry is a stunningly bad idea, and clearly deserves the full review of Congress,” said Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) in a press release.

OMG I actually agree with a Democrat, what's the world coming to?

Just trying to get back some of our oil money and put it into American businesses again I guess. Sell them all you want boys, but each and every one had better have a failsafe hidden in the satellite receiver that will detonate it a couple of miles up if we think they are being used other than the way we intended.

The Bush Administration should tie aid and commerce to reductions in human rights abuses... just like it has done with some other coutries. Frankly, women in the People’s Republic of China have more freedom than women in Saudi Arabia.

WHY are we selling this stuff to the Saudis?? Have we gone insane?

And what’s weirder is that it was a DEMOCRAT who condemned the action. Things are getting very strange...

That sounds like a pretty JDAM bad idea to me.
