Contractors do such a good job don't they? Neocon companies are the same as neocon politicians, awful.

1. Lost?
Yeah, sure. Lost. I really don't believe that 190,000 weapons were lost? Does anyone know the total number of armed contractors operating in Iraq?

This sounds more like an under the table arms deal.

3. If it's Blackwater - rest assured
They are back here to be used on US.

4. they didn't 'lose' them. they're just 'unaccounted for'
The military knew very well that those weapons would be used by Iraqis agains other Iraqis. And they should have known that, eventually, they'd be used against our own forces.

6. Well, there was this bill passed to support democracy efforts in Iran
And based on what we've seen in Iraq, we know that democracy requires automatic weapons.

Anyone else wondering how many of these are sitting in caches in Kurdistan not far from the Iranian border?
