A couple hundred thousand guns U.S. sent to Afghanistan are missing

Thousands of guns U.S. sent to Afghanistan are missing

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- More than one-third of all weapons the United States has procured for Afghanistan's government are missing, according to a government report released Thursday.

U.S.-issue M249 squad automatic weapons are shown at a camp in Kandahar in December.
The U.S. military failed to "maintain complete inventory records for an estimated 87,000 weapons -- or about 36 percent -- of the 242,000 weapons that the United States procured and shipped to Afghanistan from December 2004 through June 2008," a U.S. Government Accountability Office report states.

"Accountability lapses occurred throughout the supply chain," it says.

The Defense Department spent roughly $120 million during that period to acquire a range of small arms and light weapons for the Afghan National Security Forces, including rifles, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers.

The military also failed to properly account for an additional 135,000 weapons it obtained for the Afghan forces from 21 other countries.
"What if we had to tell families [of U.S. soldiers] not only why we are in Afghanistan but why their son or daughter died at the hands of an insurgent using a weapon purchased by the United States taxpayers? But that's what we risk if we were to have tens of thousands of weapons we provided washing around Afghanistan, off the books," Rep. John Tierney, D-Massachusetts, chairman of the House Subcommittee on National Security and Foreign Affairs, said at the start of a congressional hearing on the report.

The military is unable to provide serial numbers for 46,000 of the missing 87,000 weapons, the report concludes. No records have been maintained for the location or disposition for the other 41,000 weapons

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers

265 lbs: Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko vs. Brett “The Grim” Rogers

Odds: (-575 Fedor / +375 Rogers)-sportsbook.com

I know this sounds crazy, but the Rogers +375 is screaming at me.

The last time I had a fight scream at me was the Frank Shamrock vs Cung Lee fight,and I called that one right and got paid off nicely.

My mind is telling me don't be stupid,but my heart and my wallet are telling me to do it ....

I haven't shopped around for a better line, if anybody gets one post it please.

I won't place the bet for a couple days.There was a rumour that Fedor is sick per his twitter account, but the twitter account ended up not being his and it is not true supposedly.Thought this might have swayed some active lines towards Rogers.Not sure.So my thinking is- line might getter better for Rogers once the rumour is squashed.


If I place this bet does it mean I have Asperger's ?
