Barack Obama is to go ahead with plans to sell Saudi Arabia  advanced aircraft and other weapons worth up to $60bn (£39bn), the biggest arms deal in US history, in a strategy of shoring up Gulf Arab allies to face any military threat from Iran.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the administration is also in talks with the Saudis about possible naval and missile-defence upgrades that could be worth tens of billions of dollars more over five to 10 years.

Plans to go ahead with the package, which has been under secret negotiation since 2007, have been known for some time and have raised angry objections from Iran and to a lesser extent from Israel, an even closer US ally which is anxious to maintain its strategic edge over any potential adversary in the Middle East.

In its notification to Congress, the administration will authorise the Saudis to buy as many as 84 new F-15 fighters, upgrade 70 more, and purchase three different types of helicopters – 70 Apaches, 72 Black Hawks and 36 Little Birds, the Wall Stre

This certainly puts Israel in more danger.

He is not merely an imposter, if D'Souza is right, Obama is working diligently to bust America down to the level of a Third World Nation.  With that goal in mind, he is reducing our weapons, selling our weapons, giving our technology away, and punishing us for creating a lifestyle that has some comfort.  He is actively working to remove America from it's superpower status "to make the rest of the world safe."  As though we've ever gone around bullying other countries for fun or profit...   :banghead: :banghead:

I totally agree with what you said here. I call him an imposter because he's just using the presidency as a front, to push all his socialistic policies and failures upon the American people and collapse the system. I really do believe that he wants to set a "new system" in place. He is making this Country poorer and less safe as a result.
