WASHINGTON — Weapons sales by the United States
tripled in 2011 to a record high, driven by major arms sales to Persian Gulf
allies concerned about Iran’s regional ambitions, according to a new
study for Congress.
Overseas weapons sales by the United States
totaled $66.3 billion last year, or more than three-quarters of the global arms
market, valued at $85.3 billion in 2011. Russia was a distant second, with $4.8
billion in deals.
Psalm 76:
God is renowned in Judah; in Israel his name is
great. His tent is in Salem (peace) his
dwelling place in Zion (with His people).
There he broke
the flashing arrows, the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.
There's a great day coming. . .
