The Virginian Pilot on 4/20/13 reported on an arms deal the US has made with Israel, Saudi Arabia and he United Arab Emirates that is worth $ 10 billion. I wonder if we loaned them the money to buy the weapons from US arms makers? It seems part of the reason for the deal was because of the growing military power of Iran (before Iran it was Iraq, before Iraq it was Libya). The article notes that "the offer is meant to ensure Israel's military edge in the region in light of arms sales the US is advancing in Saudi Arabia and the UAR". Please tell me we are not giving arms to two Arab countries in order for us to we give more arms to Israel? But it does sound like US foreign policy.
