If he sent these to Turkey, without pilots, it proves he is exactly the type of political leader the most severe of conservatives critics believe him to be.<br /><br />If so, then he sent useless planes for subpar pilots, against relatively better pilots with similar planes in a scenario that will never exist because even with the Turk government becoming muslim, they would no more cross Putin than they would honestly fight ISIS. The only thing that can be said about this white elephant gift is that it didn't really include a direct means by which to attack Kurds. That war... probably an oversight by this admin, or they fear that more attacks by Turks could mean a full scale attack by Kurds soon or in time which would end Turkey as a muslim nation. I think Kurds may end up developing another, but Christian based, Israeli like nation over there. Especially if we get a prez who is on the American, and Christian, side in world politics.<br /><br />Middle Eastern muslim nations are notorious for falling before any real threat. Israel, well armed and put-upon Christians, and others absolutely clobber islamic armies. The only reason they are allowed to be is that they produce the oil more cheaply and their lands are otherwise too costly to be worth the effort. Otherwise they wouldn't even exist as a people.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-12506113485500857232015-11-03T22:08:19.614-05:002015-11-03T22:08:19.614-05:00Obama keeps sending the signal that he isn't s...Obama keeps sending the signal that he isn't serious about any of this.

I read an interview with a pilot of F-15, who moved to F-16 and he said the F-15 is absolutely useless compared to F-16. FA-18 is even better than the 16.<br />My take is this is just disposing of some aircraft that would otherwise end up in an Arizona desert junkyard otherwise. So what the heck. As you say IS don't fly and the Russians (also according to this F-16 pilot) are untalented. Almost as bad as the French.<br />Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.com
