Ask any soldier how many NEW Russian and French weapons we found over there...

Never thought of that question!

Me neither. But after several soldiers and marines told me "anonymously" I began to ask it off the record.

Okay, I asked several tonight.
Answer: Humpf-LOTS! However, 2 soldiers added that Russia sells weapons to lots of countries in the Mideast. While some may have purchased by the previous "government" of Iraq, some may have been brought in from "certain" other countries.

Force should be met with equal or greater force..IMAO..
