Senator: F-16 Deal With Taiwan Might Bypass Obama
WASHINGTON – Congress may be able to approve the sale of F-16 fighter jets to Taiwan even if Obama should object, a senator said Tuesday. The United States is legally required to supply Taiwan with defensive weapons. However, authorizing the multibillion-dollar, long-pending sale of the 66 planes would anger China, which regards the self-governing island as part of its territory.

yep. have a good one Wayne. Off to lunch!
No.lol. Sad part is, folks, regardless of where they come from, they always want to proffer an opinion but very few can have a discussion and just agree to disagree, rather than have an argument. That generally seems to happen when they have no facts to back up an opinion and they know they'll get it torn to shreds if they try and discuss it.lol
@Wayne; notice Matt phrased his question to "Any of my other fellow liberal aviation enthusiasts"? He probably didn't want our opinion (not that THAT ever stopped us, right?).
And I wholeheartedly agree with Brian!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Matt:in answer to the last part of your question, there are a lot of us here that have worked our butts off over the years to get to where we are and have what we have. Nobody ever gave us a damn thing and we just don't look too kindly on some lazy bum not wanting to work and expecting something for nothing, and if that feeling puts us in the conservative, right wing camp, then so be it, but that is part of that life experience I spoke about in the earlier comment.
Matt, it's because the people here are much SMARTER than the general population, with more "real world" knowledge of how things really work as opposed to the academic theory that runs most of Washington DC and the media.
Honestly! that's not a smart ass answer - it's the truth.
