Default Obama approves aerospace systems for a state sponsor of terror

Here we go again.

http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtri...0140_02_17.asp

Vigilance is needed the next four years. The Obama administration has approved aviation systems for Syria. This is an unneeded transfer. Here again comes an administration who is ready to give away technology, dual use systems, and materials to questionable regimes, and potential military foes. More Democrat treachery.

World Tribune, eh? I suppose you believe the "bat boy" from the Weekly World News is real too.

This is also reported here:

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/...L-Syria-US.php

And here:

http://www.themedialine.org/news/new...p?NewsID=24282

It is also relatively recent. This does deserve a followup to determine the extent of it. But I wouldn't exactly expect NBC to make this a headlining topic. I'll be watching Boeing to see what's going on here. Multiple sources, and specific organizations and companies named tell me there is some validity to this. Don't worry, it will be watched.

I've always approved selling high tech US areospace tech to enemy regimes. Little known is the "bushwhack" chip. You know, that little addition circuit that can be triggered by the Pentagon at any time and forcibly ejects the pilot and overrevs the engines until the explode...

Anyone know where I can buy one of these chips? My ex-wife's car is making a funny noise and I could offer to fix it....

Wouldnt it be an easyer "fix" if you hooked up an electric blasting cap to the ignition and surrounded said blasting cap with a kilo or ten of high explocive of your choise?

Not that I would do such a thing...

Well, I can't get very worked up by them exporting components for TWO ageing civilian aircraft. I never really bought into that whole "dual-use" argument. Almost ANYTHING can be used militarily. Including food and medicine.
