Why are we giving Egypt sixteen F-16 fighters and 200 Abrams tanks???

When their President says things like this:

“One American president after another — and most recently, that Obama — talks about American guarantees for the safety of the Zionists in Palestine," Morsi, then a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, said on Egyptian television in reaction to Obama's 2009 speech in Cairo. "[Obama] was very clear when he uttered his empty words on the land of Egypt. He uttered many lies, of which he couldn’t have fulfilled a single word, even if he were sincere — which he is not.”

And even worse...

“Dear brothers, we must not forget to nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionists and Jews, and all those who support them," he said. "They must be nursed on hatred. The hatred must continue.”

I understand that we had an agreement with the previous President but he wasn't a crazy person that openly wanted to blow another country off the map to my knowledge.

Perhaps we should reexamine.

I know, let's get our representatives and senators involved. After all, they are the government, and they are there to help us.

I do not see how arming Egyptians with radical ideas, has anything to do with our long range interests in the region.

I love supplying our enemies with our weapons. We are not buying off anything. These people have a different hatred for us that can not be fixed with money or material gains. If Obama supplies these, we will again be a laughing stock.

Hopefully they are all equipped with a remotely activated self destruct device
