US weapons missing in Iraq

[bishop]

Really...These idiots Washington are, will go down as the worst in the history of our country. Bush has already been paralled to Hoover.

hoover and another horrible president - LBJ.

Actually, the chicken wire and inept Iraqi "volunteers" were plenty of "guard".

The problem is when no one was looking, they looted the weapons.

Textbook military f**k-up maneuver, there.

Religion nor doctrine has nothing to do with it, now faith is a different thing.

I hear you can buy them on the streets of Baghdad.

Black Market Arms can be purchased in any war can't stop it...I know.

I never saw where LBJ was such a bad president. Let's not forget that one huge mess was dropped on him. The guy could only do so much.

Huh? My quote you used had nothing to do with religion, doctrine, or faith.

It had to do with the U.S. basically pointing to random Iraqis on the street and saying, "Here. Guard this shit. Don't touch it or give it away to your friends."

Then when the U.S. came back a couple minutes later to look at its stash, everything, the stash and the guards, were gone.

he spends money just like LBJ did..

if you're like me and perceive the debt/deficit to be a very important issue, comparing bush to LBJ isn't exactly a compliment. there is, of course, more to life and the country than the wars we fight.
