The Pentagon has notified the US Congress of possible military sales to Saudi Arabia valued at more than two billion dollars, if all options are exercised.Saudi Arabia ain't exactly playing the game with us in the War on Terror, is this a good idea to be sending them military hardware when we may have to fight them at some point?

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), which notified Congress Monday of the possible sale, valued that proposed sale at up to 918 million dollars.
Another proposed sale, valued at up to 401 million dollars, was for a system that distributes information through data links to fighter aircraft.
