Weapons given to Iraq are missing

[soblessed53]

30 percent of arms are unaccounted for, GAO estimates

The Pentagon has lost track of about 190,000 AK-47 assault rifles and pistols given to Iraqi security forces in 2004 and 2005, according to a new government report, raising fears that some of those weapons have fallen into the hands of insurgents fighting U.S. forces in Iraq.

Hmmm... No surprises here then. Governments can be very good at "losing track" of items when you'd expect them to be very closely guarding those same items. Same with e-mails which get accidentally deleted, and are strangely not backed up etc etc

Isn't this along the same lines as the however many billions in cash that 'lost'?

Remind your grandchildren to thank Bush and Co. for the crippling tax burden that will be left to them to pay for this war.
