"Out of 12 of your postings you've established that a licence that was invented by the press and later rescinded, but was issued but the order was never fulfilled but was for ammunition that was sent to a private buyer too early to be used on the streets of Homs" - Jim Carroll's delusional "take on things"

Now then show me where I have stated any of that.

This part of your delusional wittering is a bit of a contradiction isn't it:

If I had said that the export licence was an "invention of the press" how could it ever be "rescinded"

By the way Jim it is the person selling the goods that requires an export licence NOT the Government, Organisation, Company or person abroad purchasing the goods, the latter three would have to apply to their own Government for an Import Licence. I would have thought that that have been blatantly obvious to a sophisticated man of the world such as yourself, but possibly not to someone who is completely clueless.

£30,000 buys roughly 110,000 rounds and at the time we are talking about, 2009, the Syrian Army numbered ~220,000. Accepting the impossible that Standard NATO 7.62x51mm rounds could be of any use in Russian weapons firing 7.62x39mm ammunition that would mean there would be one bullet between every two soldiers in the Syrian Army wouldn't it Jim? Now one bullet between every two soldiers in the Syrian Army would last them how long Jim - You obviously seem to think three years - as stated delusional, illogical nonsense.
