Well, it just makes sense -- India is primarily a Hindu country. Why should they have cool weapons?
Pock-i-stan, on the other hand, is a crazy Muslim jihadist country with nukes. Of course, we sell weapons to them!

I’m disappointed as well. Pakistan showed how trustworthy they were by hiding Bin Laden all those years.
The Pakistani ISI started the Taliban.

India disagrees with the rationale of the US that such arms transfers help to combat terrorism. Justifiably. Selling weapons to a country that has a decades-long history of sponsoring terrorism doesn't sound like the most effective anti-terror strategy to me.

Funny how Obama etc played up the capture of Osama Bin Laden, who was hiding in plain sight in Pakistan, aided & abetted by them, yet they reward these snakes with this.

Its counterintuitive. Giving arms to terrorists helps fight terrorists. Fighting terrorists just makes them grow stronger. Black is white. 2 + 2 = whatever I say it equals.

The more radical the Islamic regime, the more Hussein Obama likes it. And Pock-ee-ston sure fits the bill.

So India has to look around, or do we sell to them too?
I sure don’t want to drive India into another camp.

Americans should be 'disappointed' as well - why are we arming a radical failed state which harbored Osama bin Laden for a decade and fostered the Taliban? Why are we continuing to help our enemies?
To: AnotherUnixGeek
Why are we continuing to help our enemies? Because Obama IS the enemy. He's seemingly gone out of his way (with his actions) to make that clear -- supporting the Iranian mullahs every step of the way, initiating the so-called "Arab Spring" by backing the Muslim Brotherhood (Morsi) in Egypt, and helping to create and refusing to extinguish ISIS. Obama is a radical's radical, and has the exact same aim as any other jihadi. Just a lot more power.

Pakistan also hid Bin Ladin and locked a citizen who betrayed him.

The US isn’t selling to our enemies. Our Terrorist in Chief is aiding and abetting our enemies.

” notified the US Congress of its decision to sell eight F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan worth nearly $700 million. “
“Sell”, interesting choice of words. We give them a few billion a year. Where is broke Pakistan getting the money t pay us? I bet I know where.
