Breaking: Free guns in Iraq

The Capitol Hill Blue, an online newspaper is reporting this morning that the U.S. military "cannot account for" 278,000 guns that were destined for the burgeoning Iraqi security forces. [Capitol Hill Blue] You might be saying to yourself, there is so much unreliable journalism out there, just where do these numbers come from? Oh nowhere reliable just from study commissioned by Senate Armed Services Committee Chair and Republican John Warner!! Let's just get a little perspective on these numbers- shall we? 278,000 weapons is enough to arm every man, woman and child in Birmingham, Alabama one-half of the population of Las Vegas, NV and one-fourth of the population of Dallas, TX. So if you think arming a bunch of rednecks and compulsive gamblers is scary think who has these in Iraq. Yep, yep it's not guns that kill people it's the idiot U.S. government.
