4 plane loads of weapons lost in Iraq?
[link|http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=17055497&method=full&siteid=94762&headline=have-200-000-missing-ak47s-fallen-into-the-hands-of-iraq-terrorists---name_page.html|Mirror UK] SOME 200,000 guns the US sent to Iraqi security forces may have been smuggled to terrorists, it was feared yesterday.
The 99-tonne cache of AK47s was to have been secretly flown out from a US base in Bosnia. But the four planeloads of arms have vanished. The weapons where flown out of Bosnia but no record of their arrival in Iraq can be found. Investigation continues, but the obvious possibility is that they found their way into the black market. Jay

interesting, Iraq is awash in AK47's
In fact like switzerland each male in a household is entitled to own an AK47, that is like hauling coal to newcastle.
thanx,

This was questioned years ago - why . . .
. . was the Bush administration signing contracts to supply AK47s to an area that had heaps of them just sitting around.

More likely there are contracts to be given to friends.
