Two things tick me off here. Israel assumes it can resell our technology and SK taking bids for materiel from anyone who did not sacrifice for them in 1950.

Well, try to remember that Israel wasn't in any condition to help out with the Korean War in 1950. Israel didn't exist until 1948, and she was surrounded by enemies and the Mediteranian Sea on all sides. Plus, don't forget the talk from those enemies, which eventually led to the "Six Day War," in 1956.

Israel is not "reselling" American technology (well atleast not in this case).The PHALCON is an Israeli system which has a number of American sub-systems.Which is the case with many weapon systems now.

About taking bids with from everyone,well the best way to get a good bargain is to promote competition even if it is skewed in nature.
