Not good news. Also some pistols, body armor and helmets that issued to newly recruited Iraqi police. I wonder if this part of the exit plan?

There is also several billion dollars in hard cash missing in Iraq that our brilliant guv'ment has sent over.

Maybe the ones who stole that money stole the guns to use to protect themselves from having their stolen money ripped off.

I'm not a weapons expert by any stretch, but isn't the AK-47 a Soviet gun? When did we start making them?

440,000 pieces of equiptment they can't account for. A conservative $100 a piece, that's 44 million they've lost. And now they're being used to shoot at our own troops. If we have to fight this war, can't we do it a touch more responsibly?

You don't have the right to.

The invasion was well done. POW in, take control. It's the occupation which is the problem. You went in unprepared for what you're in. Or so it would seem.
These actions have encouraged recruitment to anti-western and anti-Christian factions in the middle east. And it has armed them too, it would seem.
That's... Not good.

Wow. That was smart.
