Rand Paul: F-16 Sales to Egypt ‘A Mistake that Could Haunt Us’
Sen. Rand Paul is calling the U.S. sale of 16 advanced F-16 fighter jets to Egypt “a huge mistake” that could come back to “haunt” America in the years ahead, depending on the direction Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi takes his country.
” I think it’s a huge mistake,” the Kentucky Republican told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren Thursday night.
” I think there’s a potential that it elevates an arms race, and what we give to Egypt, Israel wants more or needs more to defend themselves,” Paul continued. “And I think there’s a risk. President Morsi’s had words . . . calling those who are in favor of Israel, calling them bloodsuckers, and apes, and descendants of pigs. I’d be a little bit concerned about arming a person who had that kind of language.
“I’m also concerned that these are weapons that could come back to haunt us,” Paul added, recalling how the United States helped arm Osama bin Laden in the 1980s when he was part of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan.

Egypt is the arch enemy of Ethiopia and Israel, and arming Egypt with sophisticated weapons is a clear indication that Obama hates the Christian land of Ethiopia and the Jewish state of Israel. Sooner or later, we may see a great war in the Middle East and in the Horn of Africa.
Obama is causing mayhem in the Middle East. He is obviously anti-Christian and pro-muslim. I do not know why white Christians voted for him in the last US election.
Egypt is going down the pan fast and to give them advanced weapons is utter folly.
Senator Paul Rand is spot on with his warnings about the use that Egypt will make of these war planes.
There is a rotton black smell coming from the White House.
Obama ! Oh Obama ! ” Either you are with the terrorists or with us ” so said George W. Bush
I have read the report in Jihad watch that Obama is giving the 20 F16s and 100s of Abram tanks for free. Egypt is on the verge of bankruptcy. How could it pay for any thing ?
