ABU DHABI — Kuwait has reported the theft of a massive amount of U.S. weapons.

The Interior Ministry said thieves broke into a warehouse and stole a huge amount of firearms and ammunition. The ministry said 20,000 U.S.-origin M-16 assault rifles and 15,000 rounds for 9mm pistols were stolen. “There were no guards during the break-in,” the ministry said on April 7.

Ya...You're all all correct, it was billions...I bet their still laughing their butts off years later.

All this while they teach the kiddies to be more sensitive to their global neighbors, as the U.S. flophouse becomes the floor-mat for the world...Just ask the tens of millions of illegals who come here and gang rape our system to the tune of hundreds of billions in tax dollars every year.

It's all good...Their concocting several thousand more laws D.C., all designed to strip ya'all of what freedoms and cash ya happen to have left.

I suspect they have 20,000 rifles that aren’t already issued to soldiers just so they can become “stolen”.

Thank you President Obama. YOU are the “Commander In Chief” -

20K of those rifles - what’s that “worth” in Government dollars? My estimate - around $30Million

Add to that the other stuff —— all without any sort of guards? Seriously? This is as rank and rotten as anything I’ve heard in a long time!

So the US-made rifles were stolen from the Kuwaiti military that maintained an unguarded warehouse. I see. Since AK’s are generally available to al Qaeda for about $50/ea., I’m curious who the eventual recipients of these weapons is. I’m guessing they wont be showing up at Wally World.

I know a well off family that bought their kids an antique 1940’s fire truck. It was beautiful. They left it out in the elements for twenty years until it had zero value. It was just a $30,000 dollar toy for them. No biggie.

Same here with the weapons — the Kuwaitis will just buy another warehouse of weapons. No biggie.
