Another day and yet another story of how badly the Bush Administration has managed the war in Iraq. Bush complains how Iran and Syria are supplying the weapons that are being used to kill our troops in Iraq. Well the GAO has found that 190,000 AK-47 Assault rifles and pistols that were given to the Iraqi Security Forces can not be accounted for and some of these weapons are most likely being used by insurgents to kill American Troops. A prior report admitted there were 14,000 unaccounted for weapons.
The Pentagon did not dispute the study and admits that proper controls were NOT followed in distributing these weapons while LTG David Petraeus was in charge of security training in Iraq. When will this nightmare end?
I bet George W. Bush wishes the GAO would go away.
