Officials Work to Block Weapons Transfers (Rummy-Condo-Wolfie)
WASHINGTON (AP) - Military and intelligence officials from 16 countries concluded talks Wednesday that were designed to develop skills for blocking the transfer of missiles and weapons of mass destruction.

The main goal is to prevent North Korea and others rogue states from spreading and acquiring weapons and technology. Russia and China, which are not among the 16 nations, have agreed to support the program, a senior U.S. official said.

1. They should know since most were participanats in the
illegal selling of US weapons to Iraq. Has Poppy or any of them been tried for this illegal selling of weapons? NO Will they? NO

The thieves and liars are always the ones that can find the loopholes and call someone out on doing exactly what they continue to do in the meantime...hypocrisy!

we wouldn't have this problem, would we?
