Army loses guns and trucks

How do you just lose 12,000 weapons?

I don't know. But the U.S. Army somehow managed to do just that.

Early in the war, 190,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles and automatic pistols that were supposed to go to the new Iraqi government mysteriously vanished. The guns were believed to have fallen into the hands of the insurgents that the war attracted. Now the Army has lost track of yet more items - including 12,000 weapons, 2,100 brand spanking new electricity generators, and 6 garbage trucks. The weapons include numerous guns and terrifying grenade launchers.

How the hell do you lose a garbage truck anyway? It's not like the garbage truck fell down behind the cushions of the armchair or got placed in the wrong album jacket.

I bet some contractor who was cozy with the Bush regime had something to do with this. If I was a gambling man, I'd wager that the contractor is probably losing the weapons intentionally just so the war continues and they make more money. That's so like the Bushists. There's been a story like this every so often throughout the course of the war, so somebody's obviously up to something.
