US peace plan to arm its allies
July 31, 2007

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defence Secretary Robert Gates plan to urge their Arab friends to do more to help the United States over Iraq but dismissed suggestions that the arms, worth tens of billions of dollars, were a quid pro quo to get that assistance.
