Obama approves aerospace systems for a state sponsor of terror

Here we go again.

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.

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...

Actually there was a lot of complaining about it on this board at the time from both sides of the political spectrum. If you weren't such a noob you'd know that.

Right, now that we're all calm, do continue.

Them damn democrats have been supplying questionable regimes and potential enemies like Saudi and Pakistan for years now , you really shouldn't have re-elected them for yet another term of the same treachery . I thought you would have learnt your electoral lesson after that wussy liberal Democrat Reagan gave the crazy Iranian Mullahs piles of missiles

You need to get your history right

The United States only gives/sells weapons to Freedom Fighters

Other countries give/sell weapons to Terrorists

Of course , because if America supported terrorists it would be a State sponsor of terrorism and then SeaDemon would have to start a topic moaning about it .

Nope. There is actually quite a whole lot of difference between some of the items above, and Clinton's wholesale giveaway of space related dual use systems, and Obama supplying a direct terrorist nation with aerospace components after the fact that they had shipped weapons directly to Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

And yes, I did complain loudly when the Dubai ports stuff came up. And no, I don't support the militarization of Saudi Arabia (the land of Wahhabism) and Pakistan. Although geostrategically, I do understand why the US maintains those relations. This Syrian transfer does not directly benefit the USA in anyway. The USA gains nothing in the exchange, yet the danger of the transfer is high.
