Simple, so they can use them in their coming war with Israel.

Because he wants to award his radical Mooselimb buddies? I would not even give them a Huey, let alone an Apache.

Dunno.

Maybe because O is to Boeing as LBJ was to Hughes?

How much Boeing stock do he and his cronies own?

So Obama will sell F-35’s and AH-64’s to Turkey, but won’t allow for the sale of F-16’s to Taiwan?

What the Hell is wrong with this picture?

This guy will be the end of all of us.

I was going to say conservative journalists need to stop asking simpering, rhetorical questions and courageously print the obvious answers, but then I re-read Rubin’s article.

Rubin begins with

“If Obama were a poker player holding a full house, he’d fold to let the guy across the table with a pair of twos feel like a winner”

and summarizes with

“Obama, however, isn’t strategically-minded. He doesn’t understand diplomacy and would rather play a losing hand than the hand he was dealt.”

He’s not even ready for insightful, let alone courageous.

“but Les thought they could fly...”

I think it was Carlson who said that.

At the very minimum, the sale/transfer should be put on hold, until we see just how far the Turks are going to go. I am not optimistic, to say the least.

Maybe 'HELL' is what is wrong with this picture. (wish I knew what that meant).

How is God rewarding America for arming the enemies of God and Israel?

Look around.

His foreign policy is on par with his domestic policy. Just unbelievable how a president can screw up so many things.

He’s just a turkey looking out for his own kind.
