Saudi Arms Sale

Griff · 09-18-2010, 08:21 AM

The key element of the sale would be scores of new F-15 combat aircraft, along with more than 175 attack and troop-transport helicopters and, if subsequent negotiations are successful, ships and antimissile defenses. The deal has been put together in quiet consultations with Israel, which has sought assurances that it will retain its technological edge over Saudi forces, even as Saudi Arabia improves its ability to face down a shared rival, the Iranians.

What's the worst thing that could happen?

This regime is due for an overthrow. They are oppressive anti-democrats who spawn terrorists. So bin Laden Jr. gets a modern air force, where is the harm? At least the American taxpayers will get the chance to fund the next generation of jet fighter to face this new unexpected enemy.
