No no, this is not a taxpayer deal, they are paying us really good money for these planes. They already have 1000 fighters and they've been really, uh, well-behaved with them.

Here is what we're really saying to them... I think...

"Look, those Shia Persians are a fucking nuisance. We don't think they're setting up a nuke program to address Israel. Frankly if they use nukes on Israel they are going to kill a lot of Arabs. A few miles off and they could kill a million Palestinians. You know it and we know it. We think they are really trying to become the top Islamic power. Those dogs don't even want to go to Mecca for their hajj. When they do they are just causing trouble. And now they're messing with Bahrain. Do you really want them on your side of the Persian Gulf? I don't think so.

And so when we allow Iraqi overflight for the Israelis to bomb their nuke sites, remember, we are looking out for your best interests."
