What companies will benefit from the latest deals selling weapons to Iraq and Afghanistan?

Saw a news story today, 9/14/08, about the Defense Department selling Billions of dollars of weapons to Iraq.

This of course seems shady since we sold weapons to Iraq in the early 80’s and then went in and destroyed them and also sold weapons to the Taliban a decade ago and then went in and destroyed them.

Can anyone tell me specifically what American companies are benefiting from this? I see that many of the airplanes are from Lockheed Martin.

    The US didn’t sell weapons to Iraq in the 1980’s.

    We sold 8 civilian helicopters, that’s it.

    From 1973 to 2002 russia sold iraq 57% of its weapons, france sold 13% , china sold 12% , czechoslovakia sold 7%, poland sold 4%, brazil sold 2%, egypt sold 1%, romania sold 1%, denmark sold 1% , numbers provided by the stockholm international peace research institute.

    The US has never sold or gave weapons to the Taliban, we have never had dealings with the Taliban, besides providing food aid, for starving afghani citizens in the 1990’s
