They knew that the stuff was highly sensitive military equipment you can't just buy at the local Cop Shop.
Is it that big a stretch to think they'd give it to
their own milita surrogates? It's one thing to say "over 50 years many of the US allies have turned against the US, they should have known", but how hard is it to know that Hezbollah was
created by Iran?
No "turning" needed there...
As I recall, Saddam's major equipment we went up against in both wars was pretty much all Russian-supplied...so much so that the street value of Russian arrnor took a nosedive after Gulf War I. Whatever he got from us was mostly used up on the Iranians, either in combat or (in the case of combat aircraft, later) flown to their airbases as some kind of strange gift.
