Bush's USA is (still) the top seller of weapons to developing nations:

It delivered more than $US9.6 billion ($A12.8 billion) in arms to countries including those in the Near East and Asia in 2004, and boosted worldwide sales to those countries to the highest amount since 2000,

The total worldwide value of all agreements to sell arms last year was close to $US37 billion ($A49.35 billion), and nearly 59 per cent of the agreements were with developing nations, according to the Congressional Research Service report.
