The Wall Street Journal is reporting today that the Obama administration plans to arm Italy's fleet of Reaper drone aircraft, a move that would open the door for sales of advanced hunter-killer drone technology to other countries.
Obama's decision to provide the advanced hunter-killer drone technology for Italy's unarmed drones will make it hard for the US to deny the same technology to others, and set back efforts to urge sales limitations on other nations that are marketing sophisticated hunter-killer drones such as Israel.
