Abandon the idea of sending 20 military F-16 fighters to the Egyptian government as it is reckless and unwise.

Created by K.C. on January 04, 2013

As stated by congressman Ted Poe (R-TX) -"It is reckless and unwise for the U.S. to give F-16s to Egypt and its new president/dictator, controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood," Poe explained. "This extremist group is notoriously anti-American and anti-Israel. The United States should not be arming a country ruled by a group that has the destruction of Israel in its charter."
Poe joined a chorus of legislators who earlier this month voiced their opposition to the Obama administration's gift of F-16s to Egypt. Mac Thornberry (R-TX) cautioned: "At this point, we don't know where Egypt is headed. We should be cautious about driving them away, but we should also be cautious about the arms we provide."
