The US has brokered a huge deal with Saudi Arabia. The Saudi's have bought $60 billion worth of state of the art weaponry. Hey weren't the 9-11 hijackers Saudi's?
My bad.
The Pentagon is suggesting that the weapons will be used in the fight against terrorism (is there an irony here?) and towards a joint eventual face off with stalwart Axis Of Evil (AOE?) member, Iran.
Tune in on March 21, 2011 at 7 p.m. EST to watch the first bombs fly - I'm making that up, and yes its not funny but it is potentially accurate. We like our wars on time, after the news thank you, and pre-empting Prime Time. I wonder who is already working away on the graphics and logo?

“A motivating factor is clearly the threat posed by Iran’s missile programs and its nuclear programs,” says Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell.
