An Interesting Graph
I’m on a posting streak today, and I just ran across another item deserving of mention here. The Command Post has linked to an interesting graph by the Dissident Frogman, comparing national sales of weapons to Iraq from 1972 to the present. Let’s just say that it makes it clear who has the real economic motivation in this war.
Update: The Command Post has clarified the dates on this graph: SIPRI, the group that published this data, only counted transactions until 1990, not until the present day. Thus, the true dates covered by the graph are 1972-1990.
