War for Sale

Why in the world are we still be selling military hardware to Egypt?  The Washington Post reports we are still delivering M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks to Egypt, along with another squadron of F-16 fighters.

This as we've watched older U.S, made M60 tanks and M1 APCs in the streets of Cairo to put down a popular uprising against the extreme measures taken by President Morsi.  Remember, Morsi is the leader of that nation's Muslim Brotherhood - an organization dedicated to bringing Sharia, or Islamic Law, to the entire world.

Wouldn't it be ironic to see American made tanks going up against Israeli tanks in the Sinai someday?  Don't laugh, if we keep up this ridiculous policy of arming Egypt it might soon happen.

Remember, we once armed Osama bin Laden to fight the Russians in Afghanistan.  That worked out well, didn't it?

Syria's Chemical Weapons Prep

Okay, this is starting to get serious.

If U.S. Intelligence (which has already learned Syria is loading the precursors for its Sarin nerve gas into aerial bombs) finds out those bombs are being loaded onto Syrian aircraft, then the U.S. must strike.

Syria has one of the best Russian made anti-aircraft systems in the world, but we shouldn't care.  Like I said, it's Russian, so therefore its junk.  Aircraft from U.S. Carriers in the Med and Persian Gulf should make quick work of it, then destroy Syrian fighters on the ground. 

It may already be too late - a no fly zone should have been created over Syria weeks ago.  Now, if those planes get off the ground with nerve gas bombs, millions of people could die.

The United States and other Western powers could be trying to find a "pretext for intervention" in Syria's civil war, a member of the Assad regime said Thursday, after U.S. officials told NBC News that the country's military was prepared to use chemical weapons against its own people.

The Syrian military has loaded the precursor chemicals for sarin, a deadly nerve gas, into aerial bombs that could be dropped from dozens of fighter-bombers, the unnamed American officials said.
Sarin is an extraordinarily lethal agent. Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's forces killed 5,000 Kurds with a single sarin attack on Halabja in 1988.
