"Pentagon Seeks Authority to Train and Equip Foreign Militaries"
"Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates urged Congress on Tuesday to grant the Pentagon permanent authority to train and equip foreign militaries, a task previously administered by the State Department, and to raise the annual budget for the effort to $750 million, a 250 percent increase.

And what if they don't remain friendly?
All that scrap steel we sold Japan before WWII came back at us in the form of artillery!
And what about Bush's grandfather propping up Hitler?
