Zionists seek F-35 stealth attack fighter

I wonder why they don't call it the F-35 stealth defense fighter .

Quote:
A year after U.S. President George W. Bush agreed to increase military aid to Israel by 25 percent, it now seems that all political obstacles that had prevented Democrats in Congress from coming on board and supporting the extra aid have been lifted.


Among the systems Israel is keen to acquire with the extra assistance is the F-35 stealth attack fighter, the cost of which is estimated at $100 million each. Israel is also planning to spend at least $1 billion, partly with U.S. military assistance, in upgraded missile defense systems.

Congress gets behind Israel's aid request - Haaretz - Israel News
Meanwhile, as Congress gives the Zionists more billions for free, more than 40 million Americans live below the poverty line.



Quote:
Last June, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert convinced Bush of the need for additional military support in view of the growing strategic threats faced by Israel in the wake of the Second Lebanon War, in 2006.

That's odd. The US and Israel started the Second Lebanese War in 2006.

I wonder why your source calls it an attack fighter, no one else does.

Re: Zionists seek F-35 stealth attack fighter

They must be anticipating that the Zionists will attack somebody with it. Them and every scarecrow, mannequin , crash-test dummy or anybody else with a head.

Do you have a comment regarding a few extra billions for a proven ethnic-cleansing regime or would you rather gloss over that.

And what of these gifts of billions of dollars, certain to be used for further Middle East tyranny and bloodshed, when many Americans go hungry ?

Re: Zionists seek F-35 stealth attack fighter

The F-35 is a joint program between the U.S., U.K., Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, Australia, Norway, Denmark, Israel and Singapore. So, there seems plenty of "blame" to go around.

Really. I suppose Congress voted extra billions to the Zionist regime on behalf of these other governments ?

The Israelis are paying for the fighters, yet you keep saying we are giving the fighters to them. Why is that, moon?

Hmm.... this argument of guilt by association is losing it's punch a little bit.

It's more compelling to blame America for Caterpillar for manufacturing a bulldozer with which the Zionists used to push down houses.

Applying the same concept to the F-35 (which has yet to kill any Palestinians) blames Canada and Norway by virtue of manufacturing the Aicraft that Zionists may potentially use, kind of makes the argument flat.

I suppose this is the result of a "you're either with us, or you're against us." mentality..... As Bush knows now, but likely would never admit, that's not a good policy when there are so few willing to be on your side.

Maybe because the Zionists are supposed to 'pay' for military equipment by means of loans from the US which are not expected to be repaid. Sounds free to me.
What are the conditions attached to the extra billions from Congress ?

Finding Congress 'guilty by association' simply because they voted extra billions for Zionism gets up your nose ?

Re: Zionists seek F-35 stealth attack fighter

This is good news.

Maybe those who insist on attacking Israel will think twice once they realize they can be blasted back to the fucking Stone Age.

Naaah, they probably won't. They're too fucking stupid...

Yeah. I have no issue with the Israelis having a few F-35s. (I try to keep moon's hissy fits low-key, though.)

By the same token, I try to soften the laughabilities of the Zionist War Supporters Club, none of whom have ever succeeded in justifying Zionist warmongering methodology.

Re: Zionists seek F-35 stealth attack fighter

I, for one, don't think that we should be encouraging, funding, or facilitating the current Israeli government's militarism.

What about the other U.S. allies participating in the project?
