'Lost in transit'!! Or corrupt officials, infiltrated terrorists REDIRECTING them to terrorist cells. Call it what you will, but they are in the hands of the enemy now and being used to kill Allied troops. Who was in charge of this balls-up operation anyways? The Army or private security firms? Because its one hell of a cock-up.

Thats a lot of supply to disappear. Im sure a lot of the paperwork was mismanaged when they were being issued to the new Iraqi govt. These guys would just show up in line and recieve their equipment without a trace of record keeping sometimes.topal63 wrote:

Good. God knows that Iraqi security can't handle weapons.
Does that mean we can finally start the heavy bombing?
