World Affairs Board - View Single Post - Israel in talks with USA over F-22 orders

I really wonder about this one, the US support Israel alot however I don't see the US selling F-22's to anyone save perhaps the RAF or RCAF neither of which will be funded to buy them in the next 15 years. I'm sure there are certain factions within the US who would love to see them in Isreal but between the uproar from the Arabs of the selling and the uproar in congress over funding a country with aid and discounting fighters sold to that country. Also the USAF would be unhappy over loosing airsuperiority.

(yes lochmart is "independant" of the US gov but I'd like to see that end user license approved.)
