MP attacks Hague over review of arms sales to Arab regimes | Politics | guardian.co.uk
MP attacks Hague over review of arms sales to Arab regimes | Politics | guardian.co.uk: "In a damning report earlier this year, the Commons arms export controls committees demanded an urgent review of exports to 'authoritarian regimes worldwide'.
They referred specifically to the Mubarak and Gaddafi regimes in Egypt and Libya, to Bahrain, Syria, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Observers said military trucks sent by the Saudis to help suppress demonstrations in Bahrain were British."

Surely we also know that many weapons used against protesters were US made; we hope the US will set up arm export controls this would also look at our arm export to Israel and thus our role into the aggressive repression of the Palestinian people which has resulted in thousands of deaths.
Special Report: How Libya is a showcase in the new arms race -Reuters
"This is turning into the best shop window for competing aircraft for years. More even than in Iraq in 2003," says Francis Tusa, editor of UK-based Defense Analysis. "You are seeing for the first time on an operation the Typhoon and the Rafale up against each other, and both countries want to place an emphasis on exports. France is particularly desperate to sell the Rafale."
"As soon as an aircraft or weapon is used on operational deployment, that instantly becomes a major marketing ploy; it becomes 'proven in combat'," says a former Defense export official with a NATO country, speaking on condition of anonymity about the sensitive subject.
"The rewards are huge. India, Brazil, Denmark, Greece, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman and Kuwait are among a growing list of countries shopping for one or more of the fighters flying sorties over Libya."
India wants to buy 126 fighter jets which should be worth an estimated $10 billion.
"Saudi Arabia is crucial to U.S. weapons makers who are discussing a huge arms package valued at over $60 billion including 84 F-15 fighter jets and 70 Apache helicopters built by Boeing."

I wonder if the allied (France,US and UK) are using the opportunity to test radioactive weapons which releases would be covered by the Fukushima emissions which are blanketing the Northern Hemisphere.

Who Armed Kadhafi? -The Guardian
Here is the raw data publish in The Guardian I guess if the allies don't destroy libya's cash of weapons and airplanes, Libya would not have any incentive to buy arms. It seems that we also use the Libyan conflict to display the new weapons and their sleek designs to attract buyers. But the buyers should realize that they won't be able to use what they buy, only the West can bomb, torture and kill civilians.
Where is Russia on the list? Haaretz reported March 10-2011: "Russia will ban all weapons sales to Libya, the Kremlin said in a statement on Thursday, effectively suspending its arms contracts with the government of Muammar Gadhafi." Before ban it wrote further, Russia had $2 billion of arm contracts and another $1.8 in anti-aircraft missiles. The question, now is why Gadhafi not using the anti-missiles?
