Peace through arms deals

Frank Gaffney: Saudi arms deal rewards terror ‘abetters’ (OneNewsNow.com):
A defense policy expert is expressing concern over a proposed U.S.-Saudi Arabia arms deal that would send the Saudis $20 billion in advanced weaponry over the next decade.
“The deal, announced yesterday in Washington, DC, purportedly will help secure Iraq and the Persian Gulf while at the same time promote stability and U.S. influence in an area of the world threatened by terrorism and rising Iranian ambitions — or so says the Bush administration. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the proposed package ‘will help bolster forces of moderation’ and support efforts against what she called ‘the negative influences of al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran.’ The weapons package for Saudi Arabia reportedly includes advanced satellite-guided bombs, upgrades to its fighter jets, and new naval vessels”

20 billion worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia, 13 billion to Egypt, 30 billion to Israel! All this supposedly to contain Iran? Yet, they know Iran will not be a threat much longer. The government of Iran will either soon be overthrown or most of its military capabilities will be destroyed by air strikes. Its not like they don’t know this, they have plans to carry this out.

The real threat is Islam, yet we are the ones arming Islam in the hope that a few secular leaders will prevail. They will not. It only pushes off the inevitable conflict against world Islamofascism and makes that conflict more deadly.

Sending arms to a majority of people who embrace violent Jihad against Israel and the non Muslim world as if doing this is somehow going to bring stability is nuts. The people suggesting these arm sales need to be locked up in padded rooms. The continual PC denial of Islam’s hatred for the West will prove to be deadly for the West.
