Sanctions are intended in part to frustrate Iran's efforts to build its military, but the U.S. government's own figures show at least $148,000 worth of unspecified weapons and other military gear were exported from the United States to Iran during Bush's time in office. That includes $106,635 in military rifles and $8,760 in rifle parts and accessories shipped in 2004, the data shows.
Also shipped to Iran were at least $13,000 in "aircraft launching gear and/or deck arrestors," equipment needed to launch jets from aircraft carriers, according to U.S. records. Iran's navy is not believed to own or operate any carriers.
Man glaubt's ja nicht!
Hoffentlich ausgemustertes/funktionsunfähiges Zeug.... Der "milit.industr.-Komplex" schreckt wirklich vor nichts zurück. Schon Eisenhower hat davor gewarnt, und der ist linker Ansichten unverdächtig.
