Missing AK47s?  email this discussion to a friend?

What happened to the 190,000 AK47s that were sent to Iraq for use by Iraqui soldiers and security? As reported by ABC.com, the pentagon is unable to account for these missing weapons. That is not the worst of this. There are also thousands of pieces of body armor and helmets that cannot be accounted for. Who should be held responsible for this lapse? I really would like to know.

Unfortunately we, the taxpayers, will be ultimately responsible for this.

I remember when Desert storm and desert shield was happening, I heard many many reports of things like laptop computers were THROWN AWAY, security issues asside, the hard drives were not taken out, erased, and if these had fallen into the wrong hands and they were government laptops with sensitive data on it, it could have been devastating, there were lots of reports like this.

As far as the missing gear, I think that someone should be held accountable as to who was the last person to sign for them etc. etc.

And every effort to track them down should be made, otherwise it makes me wonder if someone isn't trying to sell them and make a profit on them.

Mooch

My feelings exactly, oneandone. It seems that the government is constantly bungling on important things like this. Someone should be held accountable for this. I doubt that it will happen though. These weapons probably went to arm the very enemies that would harm us.
