money and influence. Many prisoners in U.S. jails have been converted to Islam and radicalized. Jihad and the imposition of extremely cruel Islamic sharia law on all nations and peoples is an obligation in the Koran. The document of the Muslim Brotherhood in America: 'The process of settlement [of Islam in the United States] is a "Civilization-Jihadist" process with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that all their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" their miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all religions.'

Let the Saudis step up their game in their 'Cold War' with Iran.

Whose thugs attacked America on 9/11? Have they forgotten? They were Saudi Wahhabhist Islamist-Jihadists! Who is the Chief Sponsor of Islamist-Jihadist terrorism around the world? Saudi Arabia! Read: "They Must Be Stopped" by Brigitte Gabriel; "Secrets of the Kingdom" by Gerald Posner; "Why We Want To Kill You" by Walid Shoebat; "Hatred's Kingdom" by Dore Gold, PhD; "Funding Evil" by Rachel Ehrenfeld, PhD; "They Just Don't Get It" by Colonel David Hunt; "Onward Muslim Soldiers" by Robert Spencer; "Preachers of Hate" by Kenneth R. Timmerman; and "Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington" by Paul Sperry. This sale of offensive weaponry to Saudi Arabia endangers America's national security interests and Israel-America's friend and ally in the region. Congress should say NO to it.

At a time when the US is $13 trillion+ in debt and Obama printing money so he can keep spending there was no way Israel could ask the US to turn down such a huge contract. Better to concentrate on damage limitation and sell the Saudi equipment that has been dummed down as much as possible. I think the most interesting thing now will be how quick Obama tries to spend that $60 billion.

Lebanon's in bed with Iran. Lot's of incest in the Arab world. What's it all mean? It means American weapon systems will be in terrorist hands before Obama can say, "Now that I've armed you all to the teeth, can we all be friends?" This is a very stupid move in a history of stupid moves when dealing with Muslim countries. Hey, Yemen is a safe place to refuel our most advanced missile ships! Where does our 'intelligence' dept get their info? From a kid's toy eight-ball? Israel has modern, safe harbors, but the USA, bending over backwards to kiss up to 3rd world dictators and sociopaths, refuels a billion dollar warship in the lunatic's playground. Sure, we can all trust Arabia to use the weapons in self-defense. sure..... "War is deceit' When all the Arab states are sure they can take Israel, they'll try to do it- all with American weapons. When that day comes, the members of Congress that voted for it will have some pretty tough explaining to do.

Saudi regime is not = to the wahabist jihad movement. The family of Saud has struggled mightily to contain this group of extremists, having been the subject of attacks themselves. It is a serious mistake to equate a capitalist monarchy that seeks to maintain stable merchantilism with a bizzare splinter group. the monarchy has little interest in destroying the west and allowed U.S. military to stage from their haj during the first gulf war. The more countries like this are demonized the more radicals are germinated.

There is not much you guys can do to stop a $60 billion deal. The US economy is in a pile of dung right now. The federal deficit is $1.2 trillion. We are running up a huge trade deficit against the rest of the world. Uncle Sam needs every dollar he can get his hands on! The only practical option for you is to develop something alone the lines of Stuxnet 2.0. Israel and the US can still collude :-D

Good for you Israel, and thank you your majesty

sell weapons to one side while extremely limit the other Israeli side, USA already thretened at least 7 times since nobama administration to cut Israeli security budget

she has been become the stepchild in the family of industrial producers. Take the average American industrial worker below the age of 40.. If he isn't piss drunk on the weekend, he is doped up during lunch time. He is overweight, suffers from HPD and is bordering on diabetes. His family life is a shambles and in most cases he has a build in hatred towards his father, who probably left the family when he was in his teens. The average manager today in america is no better. Having said that ì wouldnt be too worried about the arms sale..In most cases these overpriced pieces of junk require constant upkeep, ongoing training and part replacement. Rabin destroyed the lavi project, had ìsrael kept it, Israel today would have been the top military products producer in the world. Dumb doesnt begin to describe Israeli political thought.

This deal is small threath to Israel. The guarantee is that the stupid saudis cannot handle the compicated weapons systems which need continuous care. So they are as worthless as Libyan 2000 tanks and other wepondry sold by Soviet Union.

America,s broke thanks to socialism that Barack Hussein Obama and his leftist looney Democratic admin. introduced to the centuries old capitalist society ; expensive Medicare, Medicaid and other socialist welfare claptrap that has bankrupted most of socialist Europe Spain ,Portugal,Greece,Ireland ,just some examples,time to get back to the original capitalist society .

You have some valid points number 12, however the average salary at Boeing that produces that "JUNK" you say is about 2-3 times the average Israeli salary. Not bad for a drunk and doped up factory worker.
