About a week ago, I blogged on the rumored sale 250 Sukhoi Su-30 multi role fighters to Iran.

Well now it appears that the US is going to be selling a s$@% load of military hardware in the region in order to provide a counterweight to rumored Iranian deal.

Maybe I’m being a cynic, but I’m beginning to think that Boeing, Lockheed, and Sukhoi are the ones spreading this rumor, as they all stand to gain a lot from the ensuing orgy of weapons procurement.
