WASHINGTON, June 3 (UPI) -- Deployment of a Patriot missile battery and F-16 fighter jets to Jordan was approved over the weekend, a U.S. Central Command spokesman said.

Delivery of the weaponry, as part of a multinational training exercise, was approved by U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, CNN said Monday, noting a broader message is being sent.

"In order to enhance the defensive posture and capacity of Jordan, some of these assets may remain beyond the exercise at the request of the government of Jordan," said Lt. Col. T.G. Taylor, a spokesman at the U.S. Central Command. ..

This is really surprising.

I can remember when selling military radios to Jordan nearly took an Act of Congress. Although Jordan is certainly a friendly country NOW, the stability of the government is not what it once was. Take Jordan, mix in a little Taliban, Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda and the King my decide that the U.S. is good place to retire.

More “Arab Spring” coming soon.

In preparation for the coming war to establish the next Islamic caliphate, Obama is arming the muslims.

It’s like buying into an IPO to get in on the ground floor.

This is a deployment of American units not a sale of weapons. The F-16s that will be deployed are actual aircraft not the inflatble decoys you have pictured.

The Secretary of Defense says he cannot make Pentagon payroll due to lack of money, but he apparently has millions of dollars laying around to send Patriot missilies and F-16s to Muslim countries.
