Default Didn't we also...

Sell F-16s to India, too?

The liberally-biased newspapers, like the Sacramento Bee, fail to mention that in the head and decklines...

Default I am fairly certain we did.

Back when Pakistan was evil (on 9/10) we were firmly on India's side in regard to their on-going conflict. So selling them planes would fit.

Default You've got to love the U.S.

For giving weapons to rivaling nations (Iran/Iraq, India/Pakistan).

So whoever the victor, they're bound to hate us!

Fail to mention the $3 Billion in aid that goes with the fighters.

As far as India, we have offered to sell them fighters too, but they have not bought any yet.

It's amazing how much the Pakistani government has changed since 9/10! Remarkable really.
