The Muslim Brotherhood is about to get an improved Air Force. The State Department has refused to cancel or delay the delivery of several American-made F-16 fighter jets to Egypt, claiming that the arms deal serves America’s “regional security interests,” according to an official State Department document obtained by the Free Beacon.
The news that the Obama administration would uphold an aid package to Egypt that included the military hardware prompted concern on Capitol Hill from lawmakers who said the deal was not prudent given the political situation in Egypt, where Muslim Brotherhood-backed President Mohammed Morsi has clashed with democratic protestors.
“Sixteen F-16s and 200 Abrams tanks are to be given to the Egyptian government before the end of the year under a foreign aid deal signed in 2010 with then-Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak,” Fox News reported Tuesday.
This isn't a plan, it is reality. The first four took off from the factory on their delivery flights to Cairo yesterday. And, there are 20 of them, not 16. And, the US taxpayer funded them - they and the M1A2 tanks are a 'gift' to the Muslim Brotherhood in the form of foreign aid.
