Where does the New Secretary of State suggest the Muslim Brotherhood register their new F-16’s?

I wonder what Obama will say when those planes are used to take out civilians protesting their oppressive government?

Oops, I forgot, media will cover it up. Never mind.

So how long do you suppose it’ll be before they use these planes against the US?

The measure (NOTto sell F16s), was co-sponsored by Mike Lee (R-UT), failed by a vote of 79-19. Seventeen additional Republicans supported it: John Boozman (R-AR), Daniel Coats (R-IN), John Cornyn (R-TX), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Dean Heller (R-NV), Jerry Moran (R-KS), James E. Risch (R-ID), Pat Roberts (R-KS), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Tim Scott (R-SC), Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Richard C. Shelby (R-AL), John Thune (R-SD), and David Vitter (R-LA). Paul then introduced the measure as a separate bill and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) introduced similar legislation, but drew a distinction between the Egyptian government and military. Inhofe said, “We need to continue to support the Egyptian military, which Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood have currently distanced themselves from…Egypt’s military is our friend — Morsi is our enemy.”

I went to flight school back in the late 80's with the Skies of Islam crowd. We really do not have much to fear in regards to dominating the skies. The Israelis are as good or better than Americans as pilots.

That and software safeguards........like an "off switch".

"Egypt’s military is our friend — Morsi is our enemy" Good luck with that.

Think about who and what Islam is. Their governing class comes to power by force and violence. The governing class then engages in brutal abuse of it's people to hold onto power. Every time the people become unhappy, they launch a campaine on jews and america to distract from the real enemy.

An orderly transition in change of governing class does not come from votes, it comes thru civil war. The outgoing governing are then murdered.

Repeat....

F-16's don't really change much. In fact I would argue they are less a threat to our interests than shoulder fired weapons like RPG's and Stingers. Sending 240 F-16's to the Muslim Brotherhood is like reading Shakespear aloud to pigs.

The Oval Office thus gives approval to what the bearded savage does with the jets.

Under Obama, our nation is on the wrong side of Scripture. (Genesis 12:3 as always.) And just wait until John (my buddy is Keith Ellison) starts to get involved.

The planes were delivered on Superbowl Sunday. The lights and electricity going out in that dome for a half hour said a lot about where the nation and the world is headed eventually.

Amos 5:20

“Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?”

They delivered those planes faster than I can drive to Washington and protest the treason!

What the....????

Germany asks for their gold back and its gonna take the Feds SEVEN years to deliver it????

Congress/Ovomit required to pass a budget BY FEDERAL LAW and we haven’t seen one since 2009 and it is now 2013...????

America’s economy in a death spiral and record unemployment/national DEBT and these idiots are sending Sixteen F-16s and 200 Abrams tanks to Egypt as part of a $1 BILLION foreign aid package??????

For heavens sake, this foreign aid package was “decided” in 2010, and its been THREE YEARS and the Republicans can’t seem to figure out how to regroup and stop this TREASON????

Yet...we can deliver ON DEMAND and within hours of a vote FOUR 17 million dollar F-16’s!!!!!!

And nobody does anything but chase photo ops, cry, and do exactly what Ovomit and Reid and the Muslim infiltrators and Marxists want...which is to endanger our country and our alli Israel....

I am royally pissed. Just sick. These SOB’s want us to wait weeks or months to PASS and most likely pay for a background check intended to curtail our 2nd amendment rights...and can ship four jets to the tune of $68 million in mere days?????

God have mercy on us.

Drones to Iran, F-16’s to Egypt, arms to Jihadists.

What difference it will make!
