I read this morning that the Senate put aside a defense bill of $491 billion dollars in troop funding to work an a really critical issue -- giving gun manufacturers and sellers sweeping immunity from lawsuits (this is something no other industry has).
In a speech to the Senate, Bill Frist said "Domestic gun industry might collapse under the weight of law suits and the nation would become dependent on foreign sources of weapons for our troops" He also said some other funny things.
I wonder if he is aware that the United States is the largest arms manufacturer and dealer in the world and we will sell these arms to anyone with a buck.
If the insurgents of Iraq want some new arms, check it out. We might not give them a big discount, but by golly we will sell them any arms they might need.
War profiteering is the name of the game, and the bottom line is the only thing.
