Default US/Saudi sign $30 billion dollar arms deal

Quote:
The U.S. has formally announced a $30 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia which is set to create around 50,000 jobs for Americans grappling with an ailing economy.

The deal had been signed on Saturday in Saudi capital Riyadh but was announced by U.S. officials in Hawaii on Thursday.

According to the agreement, the U.S. will provide the Saudi military with 84 new Boeing F-15SA fighter jets and modernize 70 existing warplanes.

So they sign a deal with a country friendly to terrorists because they have 'oil'...but Obama won't approve the Keystone Pipeline that would reduce the need for oil from nations friendly to terrorists, like Saudi Arabia.

Interesting where the priorities of the Obama administration are.
