Anyone who voted to table this ought to be sent packing. A clear indication that their deep pockets are filled with the cash from the Military Industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about. Two posts today as I am traveling. In case you missed the DHS and their suggestion that we arm ourselves with scissors. The world sure in getting more and more bizarre. Add the hearing today of Hegel and we have to know the world thinks we have lost our minds. Fox military contributors believe the 200 tanks are much more of a danger to Israel than the planes.. We have given them the fastest and greatest.
Rand Paul’s amendment “To prohibit the sale, lease, transfer, retransfer, or delivery of F-16 aircraft, M1 tanks, or certain other defense articles or services to the Government of Egypt” failed in the Senate today by a vote of 79-19.
Just to clarify, the vote was to ‘table’ the amendment which is why there are more YEAs than NAYs. H/T” Right Scoop

Both of my senators, Coburn and Inhofe voted yes. What really irritates me is the lack of anyone standing up and explaining why they would approve of this sale, or a single dime going to Egypt. In their minds, it’s all about what they know and understand that we commoners do not know and understand.

I checked the vote of the two Senators from Virginia, where I live, but I knew how they voted without even checking.
Arming those who are sworn to our destruction is so idiotic and bizarre as to defy description without the copious use of four-letter words.
