IBT notes that "between 2010 and 2012 the Clinton-led State Department approved $630 million worth of direct commercial arms sales to Salman’s military forces in Bahrain. That was a 187 percent increase from the period 2006 to 2008, and the increase came as Bahrain was violently suppressing uprisings."
Most disturbingly, Clinton’s State Department approved the sale of over $700,000 worth of "toxicological agents" to a regime accused of using chemical agents like tear gas against its own people.
International Business Times recalls that the State Department tried to keep its Bahrain arms sales on the down-low, but Congress found out, and grew sternly opposed to the business until Salman used his Clinton Foundation connections to get that meeting with Hillary Clinton, and some of the weapons started flowing again, despite objections from even some fellow Democrats like Senator Pat Leahy.
