It's all very stupid when viewed in the context of history, which our current president seems to know nothing about. Lots of things seem "stupid" in the Monday morning quarterbacking of history. You have to remember that previous policies and actions were based on the conditions at that time and the inertia of foreign relationships don't change overnight. Eisboch Right now is not Monday morning. Conditions do not warrant selling more weapons to Saudi Arabia, many of whose citizens are as crazy and ****ed off as OBL, and are just aching for a shot at the royal family. If I'm not mistaken, Congress has to approve the sale. Surely the Democrat controlled Congress will have the same smarts you do. -- John H Apparently, they don't. It would be interesting to take a look at their corporate contributors. "The arms sale, which Congress has 30 days to review, would amount to $20 billion worth of weapons, including precision-guided bombs. It is "a pretty big package, lots of pieces," national security adviser Stephen Hadley told reporters on Air Force One." http://tinyurl.com/2gjepn Would it be better if they bought the weapons from the Russians or the Chinese? Then you'd be bitching about outsourcing more weapons building jobs. Those items are built in a couple of somebody's home districts. |
