Saudi Arabia arms sale may spark US Congress battle

“You have the makings of a resolution of disapproval,” said Rep. Mark Kirk, an Illinois Republican pushing for measures to curb what he considers the JDAM’s risk to Israel and US forces in the region. Kirk is a naval reservist who serves a weekend a month as deputy director of intelligence in the National Military Command Centre at the Pentagon. In a telephone interview on Wednesday, he said he was waiting for the administration to propose measures “to prevent these systems from ever being a threat to Americans or Israel.”

If the Saudis don't buy them from the US they will buy them from Russia. So, the US is the loser in the end. Not only in terms of dollars but also in terms of the loss of a longtime and strategically important ally that is, even now, going to great lengths to help stablize the US dollar by maintaining the dollar peg at great costs to her own economy. This is a perfect example of how the Zionists and Israel Firsters in the US Congress are "cutting off the nose of the US to spite her face." Always, Israel first ~ regardless of the repercussions on Washington and the American people.
