New York, NY - New York lawmakers say they plan to introduce legislation today to block the Bush Administration's proposed sale of sophisticated weaponry to Saudi Arabia.

U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner's office said in a statement that Saudi Arabia's support for the war on terror has been questionable.

Officials have said that the proposed weapons sales are intended to strengthen U.S. allies at a time of uncertainty in the region. Egypt and Israel are also expected to receive financial support.

The sale is worth an estimated $5 billion and includes advanced weaponry and air systems that would enhance the striking ability of Saudi warplanes. [ap]

Selling any sort of weapon to a muslim country is just asinine.

Here we go again... just like the port deal!
This pig-face President is obsessed with giving the Muslims more weapons to PROTECT us from terrorists, that's crazy!
We have to rise up to stop this from going forward!

What dows wahabi bush-week care? He can't serve another term. All he has to do is get the most payola from the sand apes before he goes.
