Brand New Arms Deals

It's the largest arms deal that the United States has ever done. And if the Congress oks it, 60 billion dollers worth of aircraft will be sent to the Saudis. You know, it's not enough we buy oil off them, now they get our planes? It is also being said that the Obama administration is also discussing updating their navel and missle defenses. The idea is to protect our Arab allies (ha-ha, what Arab allies?) against the wrath of the big, bad, Iranians. The 60 bilion is the most that the Saudis are willing to pay for fighter jets and helicopters. So what can you get for 60 billion? Well, how about 84 F-15s, upgrades for 70 more F-15s, as well as purchuseing 70 Apaches, 72 Black Hwaks, and 36 Little Birds? The deal is not expected to be blocked, for whatever reason. However, there may be changes and or conditions. What don't we sell them some drones, at a higher price? I'm sorry, but for what we paid for gas? I think that makes sense.
