There are US plans to sell F 165. "smart" bombs, cluster bombs and missiles to Egypt, and to provide new military aid to Israel. Saudi Arabia.

Klarc said such an approach ignores a pcinsiry lesson of ihe confliel: that the United Stales helped butki Iraq Into a regional military power based on a misguided hope that Ihe two could share common In teresls.
"All of these surrogates liave their own agendas." he said, "we could find ourselves once again in a terrible mess."

It is the diversion of scarce resources lo wasteful and dangerous mill lary expenditure ihai Is Ihe causc of so much Inslablbly hr* the region." said Sen. Claiborne pell, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
