U.S. Clears Way for Arms Sales to Iraq

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration cleared the way Wednesday to sell arms to Iraq just as it does to other allies, reversing the ban in place for much of Saddam Hussein's regime.

Bush made a presidential determination that the standard methods of engaging in munitions transfers with friendly nations are now appropriate in the case of Iraq and will promote democratic reforms, help achieve reconstruction and strengthen the Iraqi government.

The United States, Bush decided, will rely on the Foreign Assistance Act and the Arms Export Control Act in making Iraq eligible for arms sales on a case-by-case basis.

Um. Wasn't selling Iraq arms what got us in to all this trouble in the first place? I thought Bush was a peace president? Shouldn't that mean he wants less weapons in the world? Maybe he plans to use Iraqi troops to invade Iran. Is that ironic or moronic? I think I'll go listen to some Alanis and try to figure that out.
