Small arms shipped from Bosnia to Iraq 'go missing' as Pentagon uses dealers

The Pentagon has secretly shipped tens of thousands of small arms from Bosnia to Iraq in the past two years, using a web of private companies, at least one of which is a noted arms smuggler blacklisted by Washington and the UN.
According to a report by Amnesty International, which investigated the sales, the US government arranged for the delivery of at least 200,000 Kalashnikov machine guns from Bosnia to Iraq in 2004-05. But though the weaponry was said to be for arming the fledgling Iraqi military, there is no evidence of the guns reaching their recipient.

The truth is, Amnesty International couldn't find their @sses with both hands...let alone determine whether small arms were missing between Bosnia and Iraq.

Further TP, if the US intended to equip the Iraqi military and security forces with AK-47's, they sure as hell didn't need to go to Bosnia to buy them. Russia would have been more than happy to sell them and deliver them...you know TP, Russia, the country of origin for the AK-47.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Army...and the reduction in troop levels, I'm quite sure Russia has any number of AK-47's..both new and used they would be happy to unload.

Unfortunately. Not all governments are corrupt like ours.

Sorry old man but YOU need to see the light.

You insist on worshipping a man who lies to you and the world. All he has to do is stutter when he is confronted and it's ok with you huh?
