Lost Weapons

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.


There's really not too much you can say about such a story, though it almost makes you wonder if any of the other purported suppliers of weapons to the Iraqi insurgents like the Saudis or the Iranians, have managed to match the US military in volume?
