"Insurgents -- They Buy American"

"Just who is behind this act of hostility? The United States — or anyway, the U.S. Department of Defense.

You heard me. According to the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, about 14,000 of the weapons bought (with your tax dollars!) for distribution to Iraqi security forces got, um, misplaced somewhere between getting to Iraq and being transferred to the Iraqi army and police. Instead, analysts say, many of those weapons ended up in the hands of You Know Who".

Maybe instead of all the saber rattling with Iran and Syria, George Bush ought to attack our own DOD and Halliburton, since they seem to be the ones, through all of their continued incompetence, to be supplying the insurgents with weapons that are being used to kill our men and women.
