At least they are paying you in money you gave them, or is this a token of esteem for the noble Muslims of noble Egypt?

Why isn’t anyone in congress objecting??

Are you kidding? McCain, Rubio and Romney want to arm the Al Qaeda affiliated Syrian “rebels”, and already have armed rebels in Libya. The Republican Party is part of this problem, too, that’s why only a few of them object.

On the face of it, this is pretty nuts but then so was supporting the Arab Spring brothers.

There are a few things to remember though:

Running high tech weapons systems like F16s and M1s requires at the very least:

- Skilled operators who are constantly training
- Skilled trainers who have direct contact with the manufacturers
- Skilled support staff who are constantly training with the manufacturers.
- A rock solid supply chain for the parts that these sophisticated weapons systems need routinely and occasionally.

And that’s at a minimum.

Iran’s got a bunch of F14s that haven’t been flown in 30 years…

On the issue of jets, it seems that jet fuel was put in auto stations! Bet this doesn’t help the car much?

In order to avoid these horrible mistakes in the future, we should institute and cabinet level position and department that will be equipped to warn against such things. They can maintain a presence in foreign countries to stay on top of events, influence developments and properly inform our foreign policy decisions. We really need something like that.

I hope these get to about 5000 feet, have a major electrical problem, and blow up right over where morsi is!

Hmmm, that sounds like a real commitment.
