Why Is Obama Arming the World?

Why Is Obama Arming the World?

Posted by Peter Schweizer Mar 8th 2011 at 3:24 am in Economy, Featured Story, Obama, Weapons | Comments (39)

Jeff Abramson, deputy director of the Arms Control Association, recently told Fortune Magazine: “There’s an Obama arms bazaar going on.” And it’s no exaggeration. Obama has personally pushed for large weapons sales such as the $4 billion aircraft deal with Saudi Arabia. And the administration is also rewriting the rules that govern arms exports, which will in effect reduce oversight of weapons sales. In the middle of its extensive story on the defense industry Fortune magazine has a stunning statistic.

“Thanks to a surge in overseas demand, the F-15 and other aging U.S. weapons systems are hotter than they’ve been in years. The Department of Defense last year told Congress of plans to sell up to $103 billion in weapons to overseas buyers, a staggering rise from an average of $13 billion a year between 1995 and 2005, according to Deutsche Bank analyst Myles Walton. Signed agreements have tripled since 2000.” And they called Bush a militarist!

Nearly 50% of our arms sales go to the Middle East, a region now awash with violence and instability.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

So why is Obama, who doesn’t seem to embrace the notion that a powerful military is a good thing, selling so many arms around the world?

For someone who critiqued the Bush Administration for relying too much on military capabilities and not enough on diplomacy, it is extremely ironic that Obama is leading the charge in the massive expansion of arms sales.

Why? It’s hard to not escape the conclusion that this is more about helping the economy than anything else. And that’s a cynical and dangerous approach to arms sales. Ultimately they should be about protecting us and our allies. Once you use it as an employment program, problems emerge. The temptation to make risky sales becomes great–all in the name of job creation. Perhaps this is another imitation of the French–who for years have been willing to sell weapons to just about anyone in the name of “commerce.”

THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

See, if you sell all of your guns and ammo to the world then you must be trusting that the world ain't going to use them against you.
Right?

Guess it fair saying that regarding Muslims, BHO is a man of his words.
About other matters & people,...eh? Mostly can't believe whichever side of mouth used.

Regardless, one must believe what: "His Barackness" wrote in his book: The Audacity of Hope?

Barry H.S. or Barack H.O.'s very own words of: "I will stand with Muslims should the winds change in an ugly direction",...SEZ-IT-ALL to any sane, sensible, open-minded and/or apolitical people.

Also, what's-the-big-deal about selling a FEW BILLION$ worth of F-15s to Staunch age old Ideologue FRIENDLIES(???), whom will not even permit openly displaying of little Star of David or Crosses on their sanctimoniously anti-Infidel & holy Islamic land, anyway? ;);)

Oh, and by the way Stick.
Why the big bio spread between 1961 birth & 1983 graduation from Columbia? Barack's lawyers paid dearly for hiding that info, also?

Nary a mention was made about teenager Barry SOETORO (2nd Illegitimate Father's name) attending radical Wahabi sect Muslim Madrassa School, while being raised in Indonesia.

Did the NOW Barack Hussein Obama II or Jr. merely just once go to Muslim Madrassa School,...orrrrrrrrrr did BHO actually graduate from same? Shouldn't Americans be at least told which?

We've been selling arms to the world for years. Heck we sold the Iranians F-14 Tomcats. But if you examine it a bit closer, we don't sell them our good stuff (we're even holding back on the JSF tech) Its like a drag race. Once you've bought the new ferrari, you're willing to sell the other guy your camero.

some perspective?

re: arms suppliers

The units from that table are expressed in 1990s US millions of dollars.

Thanks for all that: "Background" on Suspect of Intent & not very U.S. Citizen friendly, Obama.

Still, and just as NOT informed by most others (government & press informers inclusive) also, you too make no mention whatsoever of: "His Barackness" between birth in 1961 until graduating from Columbia in 1983.

Are Barry or Barack's young informative, friend making & belief fostering years between '61 & '83,...
really all that detrimental or all that bad publicly exposing?

Whatever,...a good 20 years kept under wraps by ANYONE certainly makes me wonder???

Guess I just don't easily accept being constantly deceived, lied & dictated to by a relatively unknown ruler, as most Americans obviously now easily & quite docile do? Never liked being BS'd by charlatans or phonies, either.
