James Hasik, National Interest: Revealed: The Gulf States are Buying Tons of American Smart Bombs
The tragedy of Paris this past weekend may eventually prove to have been the beginning of the end for the Al-Baghdadi Gang in Al-Raqqah.
Wantonly attacking the citizens of two UN Security Council members in a week wasn't just heinous, it was stupid. So if the Coalition air forces have been running through a lot of ordnance pummeling troops and infrastructure, the pace is only stepping up. Getting them the weapons, though, hasn’t been easy. As Air Force Secretary Debbie James stressed at last week’s Dubai Air Show, her department has been trying to speed up its part of the export review process. Some of the bureaucratic anguish is about maintaining Israel’s “qualitative military edge” (QME), an American policy since 1968, and a matter of law since 2008. At a certain point, however, obsession with Israel’s security undermines American efforts to help Arab states help themselves, and Arab security calls out for whatever America can reasonably send.
WNU Editor: It would not surprise me if in the next 6 months a request for more weapons will be made.

Yessir, I read it. The really terrible part is most people are either too tired or willfully ignorant to stand up against this crap. We're really in a pickle Jay. It's like being in a big jail.
