Thousands Of Guns U.S. Sent To Aghanistan Are Missing
Well, whadya you know.
"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- More than one-third of all weapons the United States has procured for Afghanistan's government are missing, according to a government report released Thursday.
The U.S. military failed to "maintain complete inventory records for an estimated 87,000 weapons -- or about 36 percent -- of the 242,000 weapons that the United States procured and shipped to Afghanistan from December 2004 through June 2008," a U.S. Government Accountability Office report states.
"Accountability lapses occurred throughout the supply chain," it says.
The Defense Department spent roughly $120 million during that period to acquire a range of small arms and light weapons for the Afghan National Security Forces, including rifles, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
The military also failed to properly account for an additional 135,000 weapons it obtained for the Afghan forces from 21 other countries."
This will continue, again and again, because all these "war on terror" conflicts are bullshit scams, just endless conflicts to profit from credulous american dullards. There's no polite way to say it anymore. The american public will repeatedly take it in the ass from lying politicians, generals and arms merchants, over and over, because they believe the lies.
And not only is war extremely profitable for the manipulators when golly gee, they can't account for trillions of dollars or hundreds of thousands of weapons. Those missing weapons will eventually wind up in the hands of the very people we're supposed to be fighting, extending conflicts so the profits continue to roll in, making the sinister strategists the murderers of american soldiers.
US 'loses track' of Iraq weapons
"The US military cannot account for 190,000 AK-47 assault rifles and pistols given to the Iraqi security forces, an official US report says."
