Well, they can always buy them from the Chinese government, just like the Pentagon is currently doing -- throwing some $20 million tax dollars at the PLA to buy replacement AK47s and ammunition for Iraq. Replacements? To replace what? To replace the millions of dollars worth sitting in storage that we destroyed, of course! (Which we probably bought for Saddam back when he was our "friend".)
I swear, the more I see of this crap, the more haunting are Ike's warning of the "Military-Industrial Complex."
(And not to digress, but I thought that we were promised that the oil would cover the cost of the Iraq "liberation". What ever happened to that deal?)
Final salt in the wound (it's bedtime and I feel like crap), the Chinese "company" we are paying all that money to, to re-arm Iraq -- it's currently under indictment for -- while buddy-buddy with Clinton -- trying to smuggle in thousands of machineguns. The Chinese general involved in the deal (thank God it was an FBI sting operation) suggested selling them to gang-bangers.
So, this Chinese "company", prohibited from doing business in this country, is the beneficiary of this Pentagon deal, in which they will receive over twenty million tax dollars.
What's wrong with this picture?
Damn, there goes my blood pressure again.
PS: To keep this on track, I mentioned the Chinese connection because they do manufacture an M14 "clone". And at the rate things are going, I wouldn't really be surprised if we do end up seeing American soldiers fielding them! Sometimes it seems like "Job One" is to ensure that whenever possible, to whatever extent possible, the Chinese military is financed by the USA.
