I am not privy to the president\u2019s access to intelligence, but he did appear to me in a dream in which he was quite angry with me for something. Strange I know. Maybe I wasn\u2019t providing him with enough intelligence?
\nI\u2019ll have to save that story for Sigmund Freud or some other psycho-analyst.
\nAnyway, I do have to voice disapproval with the idea. Mostly because I don\u2019t think that Saudi Arabia needs to be given any of our jets.
\nWhat guarantee is selling weaponry in hopes of tempering a foe?
\nIt seems that the US President, a friend of history\u2019s lessons, knows what happened when we armed the front against Russia many years ago-led by Bin Ladin.
\nI think in a previous blog of mine I mentioned the specifics of that mistake.
\nSometimes it is a tough choice, when we decide to arm other nations other than our own. I can imagine the complexity, but we\u2019ve done nothing to secure or seal the behaviors of the Saudi allies.
\nHas something been signed? It is a dangerous task. Again, this is an area where I diverge from the President\u2019s judgment. Congress should remember that giving money to the middle-east is potentially more and more complicated and more and more of a drain on United States productivity. I hate to say it, but it will be harder to know who is friend if we continue down such a path. And I hate the thought of service men and women being sent somewhere again as a result of trading weaponry
\nfor dollars. Once they\u2019re sold, there\u2019s no guarantee to who they\u2019re used against. That\u2019s a simple rule that we know.
\nWhat are we going to do? Place restrictions on usage of their increased arsenal? Force them to direct an apportioned amount against who we say?
\nDon\u2019t you think that they might disagree?
\nI really don\u2019t understand.
\nIf I were in Washington, working in the executive branch, I\u2019d most likely resign today over this. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
