When you're the best, you're in high demand.

We will get our money back for helping out, but you probably won't ever hear about it. Gaining allies and forming alliances with other countries can pay massive dividends and are hard to put a monetary value on. It's good to have friends, just in case something goes wrong at home.
We will supply the weapons and help the Lybian Rebels overthrow the oppressive dictator. If I am not mistaken some or most of these Lybian rebels fighting Kadafi are Taliban or Al Qada.

Someday we will be picking up our dead soldiers and find that these weapons we supplied have been turned on us. Deja Vu.
