The Americans incompetance in losing 19, 000 weapons not withstanding, I noticed the weapons lost were AK47's.
Now, I know the AK is the world's most popular weapon, but surely the yanks should be showing faith in the Iraqi security forces capability by providing them with US weapons (M16's).
Also, I would imagine that this is a significant amount of change that has been spent with a third-party supplier as opposed to a good old redneck weapons manufacturer.
What gives - do they know the Iraqi security forces are useless and don't want their boys shot at with their own weapons or do you think they charged them M16 prices and gave them AK's.
P.S. I believe this is standard US practise when arming ne'r do wells ie. give them commie hardware.
