Another contract for Lockheed Martin for the DoD to disburse?
How much will this sale cost the taxpayer and where does the profit from the sale go to, or is there ever actually a profit made?

The administration of President Barack Obama has approved Iraq's request for the F-16 multi-role fighter.


The administration has endorsed an Iraqi request for 18 new F-16 aircraft for Baghdad's Air Force, Middle East Newsline reported. Officials said the Defense Department has notified Congress of the proposed sale, estimated at $4.2 billion.
