Cars stolen in US used in Iraq bombings.....

[QuettaKid]

Think Halliburton is in cahoots with the "insurgency"....??

""The inquiry began after coalition troops raided a Falluja bomb factory last November and found a Texas-registered four-wheel-drive being prepared for a bombing mission. Investigators said there were several other cases where vehicles evidently stolen in the US wound up in Syria or other Middle Eastern countries and ultimately in the hands of Iraqi insurgent groups, including al-Qaeda in Iraq.""

1. an interesting concept, especially in light of the 2

American looking men who were dressed in native clothing and were held by local citizens after that car bomb went off. The Army
sent a jeep over to pick them up before they could be questioned by local authorities.
Or something like that, can't keep my stories straight, there is so
much to remember......

4. Those were British SAS commandos in Basra....

they were dressed in Arabic clothing and had a full arsenal in their car....Iraqi troops arrested them for firing on civilians. your right though.....sooooo much to keep track of it is hard to do sometimes.

2. If we had some functioning intelligence

who's job wasn't to cover the administration's ass...

This would be a number 1 job!

3. American cars in Iraq with bombs are not stolen. Just think of what

it would take to steal a car and get it to Iraq! They might be stolen over there. The US gov't may be supplying them to the "insurgency". They may be stolen in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia. But they are not being stolen from here - at least by Iraqis.

5. not as hard as you might think.....

from the article...

""Investigators believed the cars were stolen by local car thieves in US cities, then smuggled to waiting ships at ports in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Houston, among other cities. Terrorism specialists said they believed Iraqi insurgents preferred American stolen cars because they tended to be larger, blended in more easily with US convoys, and were harder to identify as stolen.""
