Stupid: U.S. Sells F-15's to Saudis

U.S. government continues to sell high-tech weapons to one of world's worst human rights abusers and violator of freedom of speech, religion:

["The sale of $30 billion worth of F-15SA fighter jets to Saudi Arabia has been finalized, boosting the military strength of a key U.S. ally in the Middle East to help counter Iran, the Obama administration announced Thursday. 

Under the agreement, the U.S. will send Saudi Arabia 84 new fighter jets and upgrades for 70 more. Production of the aircrafts, which will be manufactured by Boeing Co., will support 50,000 jobs and have a $3.5 billion annual economic impact in the U.S., the White House said. "]

--read the rest.

To help counter Iran?-Pure bunk.

Don't counter Iran,- MOP Iran's nuke sites back to the stone-age.

Support 50,000 jobs?

Do that without providing $billions of high-teck weaponry to Saudi Arabia, a country that spends $billions to spread Wahabbi Islamist doctrine around the world. Including U.S. mosques.

No, they are not an ally.

Update 12/31/11-

More weapons-deal stupidity from the U.S. government:

U.S. agrees to sell $3.4 billion in missiles to UAE.

Excerpt-

["Wary of Iran, the U.S. has been building up missile defenses of its allies, including a $1.7 billion deal to upgrade Saudi Arabia's Patriot missiles and the sale of 209 Patriot missiles to Kuwait, valued at about $900 million.

On Thursday, the Obama administration announced the sale of $30 billion worth of F-15SA fighter jets to Saudi Arabia.

Under the fighter jet agreement, the U.S. will send Saudi Arabia 84 new fighter jets and upgrades for 70 more. Production of the aircraft, which will be manufactured by Boeing Co., will support 50,000 jobs and have a $3.5 billion annual economic impact in the U.S.

All the sales are part of a larger U.S. effort to realign its defense policies in the Persian Gulf to keep Iran in check."]

Baloney,-what they are irresponsibly doing is building up the Islamist military capabilities.

What happens if the House of Saud looses power in Saudi Arabia and the Islamists who want another caliphate come to power?

A key part of the Islamists desire to bring about a new caliphate is to first bring down the current wealthy family monarchy dictatorships in the Middle East.

For over 40 years the U.S. government has been irresponsibly building up the Egyptian military capability. Even with the knowledge that Egyptian 'wargames' were being conducted with Israel as the enemy.

Now in the aftermath of the Arab Spring it appears the Muslim Brotherhood Islamists and their Salafi friends have won a majority in the Egyptian elections.
