Sometimes (the small minority of the time) we give away weapons, but in this case, the Saudis will be paying for them.

Thanks for answering!

Ok, so if the saudis are buying weapons, who are they buying them from? US? manufacturers? Why is bush involved? surely a sovereign nation can make it’s own decisions about their own spending..........
