What do you think? It is an attack on Patraeus who has done the greatest job of any American General since WW II. There was no shortage of weapons in Iraq and the terrorists did not need AK47 from the Pentagon to cause death and destruction. Those tens of thousands of AK47 and pistols were part of Saddam Army and Police and Saddam gave thousands of weapons to the Sunni Iraqi tribes and foreign terrorists before the fall of his regime.

The other question should be of the unaccounted weapons how many are really in enemy hands, how many are lost in the bureaucracy, and how many are in the hands of walk-offs who went home and put the weapons in their closet.

Rather than blame the OIC of a difficult and complex effort, I’d first place the noose of accusation around the necks of the “hurry hurry, faster faster, you’re not DOING ANYTHING!” politicos and all the usless idiots that fall for their crap.
