The Telegraph, Guardian and Daily Mail all reported the sale of "small arms ammunition", presumably from Reuters, whose web-site also included the information The reports came with official arms sales figures which included "small arms ammunition" which you and your knuckles-along-the-ground friend identified it as "sniper bullets" and attempted to justify the sale and/or minimise its importance – now you are denying it.
"Waiting on Jim to make some comment on this, which happened AFTER the violence, unlike his supposed sales by "Britain".
Nothing "supposed" about it BRITAIN SOLD ASSAD "SMALL ARMS AMMUNITON" (sniper bullets, I'm reliably informed by our 'arms experts' proving even the rightists brain-deads on this thread have accepted this to be true, even though they have tried to excuse it.
Why should you be "waiting for a comment" from me – I think Iran is every bit as appalling a regime as Syria, contrary to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16954636
The EU is the first trading partner for Syria with total trade amounting to approximately €7.18 billion in 2010.
EU goods exports to Syria 2010: €3.6 billion - EU goods imports from Syria 2010: €3.5 billion
Far from this situation being a "monster Marxist" problem, it seems that countries like Britain are so deeply in hock to these bastards that they have to go on trading with them as long as they can – hence the 'Question Time' response, I suspect.
My comment – don't support vicious regimes that massacre their people becuse it is "good for British business" – don't suppose you'd care to comment on trading with them and refusing to intervene in any other way than a "tut-tut".
