This from today's news:
The US has lost track of about 190,000 weapons issued to Iraqi security forces since the 2003 invasion, some of which will have ended up in the hands of insurgents, according to an official report published in Washington. Among the missing items are AK-47 rifles, pistols, body armour and helmets.Gee - I wonder where those weapons are? Gosh - who would have thought? Oops - Who could have imagined?The disclosure adds to the picture of the chaotic and clumsy administration of Iraq that has emerged over the last four years.The report, by the government accountability office, which sent its report to Congress last week, found a 30% gap between the number of weapons issued to Iraqi forces and records held by US forces in Iraq. No one in the Bush administration knows where the weapons are now. [emphasis mine- LD]
[That's more lost guns than soldiers in Iraq ....just for those in DC who can not remember how to add or to count... ]
