Default Re: What if Saddam uses WMD?

Why would the US have any interest in any sort of warehousing or merchanting of confiscated Iraqi arms? They're several generations out of date and a single M-16A2 will bring in approximately the same price as any dozen Kalashnikovs of your choice. Of course you destroy their weapons. If someone wants to buy non-NATO standard weapons, they go to the former Warsaw Pact. If someone want's to buy modern, state-of-the-art weapons, they go to the US or the UK. If all they want is cheap, easy to operate and NATO standard, they call France. This is the reality of modern weapon sales.
