President Barack Obama has authorized a Saudi project to supply aerospace systems to Syria, in what was seen as the suspension of U.S. sanctions.
Government sources said Obama directed the Commerce Department to approve the export of U.S. components for Syria's fleet of Boeing 747 aircraft. The sources said a Saudi defense company would supply and install the components in the aging Syrian dual-use aircraft.
The Commerce Department has not confirmed the approval. Boeing, however, acknowledged that Commerce approved an export license for Syria on Feb. 2.
The sources said the approval by Commerce marked a departure from nearly five years of sanctions by the outgoing Bush administration. Under the Syrian Accountability Act, Syria was to be denied all but food and humanitarian supplies from the United States. Bush aides said Syria had used passenger jets to ferry weapons from Iran to Hizbullah in Lebanon.
How can we continue to hand the keys to our destruction over to our enemies and survive? We give them our technology in the name of jobs and corporate profit and shake our heads in disbelief when they in turn use it against us or our allies. We have got to wake up to the fact that this world is not of the illusion we ascribe to in our heads during our most altruistic moments. There are many out there that do not like us and the decadent ways we have come to embrace.
Our God has given us every advantage and we continue to turn away from Him. Well, He has already told us what that leads to and we had better start listening.

Lev 26:18-20 (KJV) And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. (19) And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: (20) And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
