Gee, US officials must be *shocked* that Russia is selling weapons to Iran. Hey, wait a minute, let's turn back the clock:
Representative James Traficant from Ohio, speaking before the House on April 29, 1997, exclaimed:
"America gives billions to Russia. With American cash, Russia builds missiles. Russia then sells those missiles to China. And China, who gets about $45 billion in trade giveaways from Uncle Sam, then sells those Russian-made missiles to Iran. Now Iran, with those Russian-made missiles sold to them by China, threatens the Mideast. So Uncle Sam ... sends more troops and sends more dollars... Mr Speaker, this is not foreign policy. this is foreign stupidity." (Griffin, 305)
Let's turn back the clock a few years more:
In his address to the graduating class at Annapolis in 1983, Secretary of the Navy, John Lehman, said: "Within weeks, many of you will be looking across jst hundreds of feet of water at some of the most modern technology ever invented in America. Unfortunately, it is on Soviet ships."
"As Professor Sutton [author of "National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union", 1973] observed in his book, The Best Enemy Money Can Buy, the guns, ammunition, the weapons, and the transportation systems that killed Americans in Korea and Vietname came from the American-subsidized economy of the Soviet Union. The trucks that caried these weapons down the Ho Chi Minh Trail were manufactured in American-built plants" (Griffin, 303)
Let's turn back the clock even more:
"During World War II, under the Lend-Lease program, the United States sent to the Soviets more than $11 billion in aid, including 14,000 aircraft, nearly half a million tanks and other military vehicles, more than 400 combat ships, and even HALF THE ENTIRE U.S. SUPPLY OF URANIUM which was critically needed for the development of the atomic bomb. (Griffin, 295)
