Why not just sell F-22s directly to China?

U.S. considers sale of F-22 to Israel
Last update: 8:07 p.m. EDT June 6, 2008
JERUSALEM, Jun 6, 2008 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman said he would consider lifting a ban on the sale of the F-22 "Raptor" to Israel.
"I'm a strong supporter of Israel getting all the material and equipment they need. I certainly would look at it," said Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., said about the possibility of removing the restriction on selling the F-22 stealth fighter jet.
Until now, Berman's panel has blocked the sale of the F-22 to Israel, the Jerusalem Post reported Friday.
"We're trying to lay a foundation for a tougher-minded evaluation of what assistance Israel needs," Berman said.
The F-22 is seen as a major advantage in a potential Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear plants because it can get past the most advanced defense technology, the newspaper said.

Rep Berman [censored] you and your idiotic support.

The F-22 isn't like the F-15 or F-16....
if you can't detect it, you can't shoot it very easily obviously. Giving that technology out even to allies is definitely a bit well, STUPID. This isn't like giving them a license to buy Abrams tanks off of us or something....hell until the JSF comes out even NATO won't have full-time access to our stealth technologies and even that will likely be limited....

Well. this would make it easier for the Israelis to bomb Iran for us, if that should come to pass.  |

The bigger question is whether it will be sooner or later
