It is not US policy to block sales made by other nations. I have posted a list of the Nations that France sold F-1s to. And most of them were not allowed to purchase US weapons at the time. The US is not overly picky about who we sell to, but we do not supply advanced weapons to despots. My link is in the quote contained in my Last post. The full text can be found at Globalsecurity’s web site. Mr Pike is well known for posting facts that the US would have rather kept out of the public eye. Now I would like to see your link showing US involvement in the French arms sales.

Well this finger pointing at France is just stupid. Behind every despot in the world is a permanent member of the Security Council arming them.

That Global Security website doesn't mention who supplied Iraq with the cultures it used to start its biological weapons program. There was a US senate report in 1994 detailing all the shipments, that continued after Saddam was gassing Kurds in the 80s. Now what the hell was that? What sort of crazy nutter gives Saddam the tools to make biological weapons? How completely f*ck*d up is that?

You want links?
