JR, I already replied to this.

One of the big examples right now is that the State Department (during HRC's tenure) approved the sale of $630 million worth of arms to Bahrain’s military. During the period of 2006 to 2008, the US sold $219 million worth of weapons to them.

This is from the report from the International Business Times that I cited yesterday.
