#1 Why do they need it? We're supplying them with $40 billion with billions more on the way. They can buy all the gold-plated overpriced US equipment from Raytheon and Lockmart.

Oh wait, they're stealing the money, aren't they? That's why they have to use WWII weapons. How much is getting kicked back to US government officials?
