Stop selling military ware to Middle East

As a retired military guy, I am absolutely baffled by the situation in Iraq. Since 1950 the United States have made over $80 billion in military sales to Saudi Arabia. On average we make 19% of all military sales to the kingdom. The United Kingdom as well as other western powers have made large sales as well. That’s a whale of a large amount of firepower just sitting on the parade ground. What are they waiting for? Oh, that’s right. The 82nd Airborne and the USMC. Get off your oil cans and do something for your own neighborhood after all ISIS is closer to your home than ours.
