Exactly. I say that if we exchange weaponry. Imagine. American weaponry we give to Iraqis and Iraqi arms we give to American troops. Then Americans will win even more anyway. Even with old aged Soviet types of arms. It is not weapon what wins wars. But resolve and training of troops.

True! However, I was just in South America where I learned from command level officers that they can get no support for their American aircraft. Most likely they will buy the Russian helicopters and fixed wing aircraft - fully supported by intermediaries. No accidents on the Mi-17 in Columbia. Blackhawk? Bad reputation.
