US Arms Exports to Mexico and Central America.

From AZ-MEX.blogspot.com. Link.

AZMEX EXPORTS 11 SEP 2-11

Note: this is a very short version of the data on U.S. arms & associated exports for year 2010, to Mexcio and Central American countries with the most “leakage”.
As we have long claimed, there is a whole lot of stuff moving south, via govt. exports. Of course way too much seems to pass go and right to the TCO’s (cartels)
Listed value of total exports to Mexico under this section 655, was $85 USD million plus . . .

Then there are the european arms exports to Mexico.

As noted on occasion before, civilians would be astonished/horrified at the rate men and materials are used up in a war. Even BATFE can't supply enough weapons.

I just happen to review you source document link...

Why do you suppose we are sending Mexico over two-million dollars worth of chemical weapons?

There was nothing listed for Honduras because the Barky administration denounced the (legal) ouster of their President, Manuel Zelaya, when he tried to become a dictator. Our government supported the Socialist in order to ingratiate themselves with Hugo Chavez. Punishment for adhering to the Honduran constitution was no arms sales to their military.

Are you an American Imperialist? Do you know any? Didn't think so. And yet, the charge leveled against us from around the world is imperialism. After living in South America for a number of years, my perspective has changed.

The .gov has become, as you've noticed, a self-serving machine that will destroy the world. We, as people on the street, regular Joe, etc. regard the charge of "American Imperialism" as garbage. But the reality is far different. The government is behaving in other peoples' countries as an oppressive imperial power. It is absolutely stunning to watch.
