we armed iran? i thought it was iraq when they fough iran? and you're preaching to the choir, i've said all along we are too involved elsewhere. my issue here isn't the deal, it's with fox making it out to be a huge problem now, because they don't like the democratically elected president of egypt.
we've been giving foreign aid forever. hell, afganistan was the number one recipient for years. that got us nowhere.

what i'm saying is, why should the delivery of four jets in january, and 20 total be halted now? i think it's a non-issue, especially considering that it's less than a tenth of what they already have in stock. getting a few more jets won't be the difference in peace and war for them.

Correcto..known as "Iraqgate".

United States support for Iraq during the Iran–Iraq War, against post-revolutionary Iran, included several billion dollars worth of economic aid, the sale of dual-use technology, non-U.S. origin weaponry, military intelligence, Special Operations training, and direct involvement in warfare against Iran.
