7. Naw, that's all right.

We'll just turn around and sell them an anti-aircraft system.

See how it works?

6. Nothing new here...we US backed Pakistan for many decades previously...

It only cooled down some after they decided they wanted to join the nuke club.

The US/Pakistan relationship goes back to the days of the cold war when the USSR was backing India.

They already have 32 F-16, 10 C130's, use US AIM 9, Maveric, and Stinger missiles.

The bulk of the inventory is French with the US in 2nd place.

11. we'll sell arms to ANYONE . . . whether directly or indirectly, . . .

if there's a buck to be made (better yet, millions of bucks), the sale will be made . . . the only thing that matters is the bottom line . . .
