Comments on: Report: 14,000 Weapons Missing In Iraq

Guns, Spare Parts Given To Iraqi Forces Gone; October Death Toll Surpasses 100

Obviously, someone in the Iraqi military sold these weapons to the insurgents. A couple of weeks ago we were informed the 500 million $$$ was missing. We are being reamed on a colossal scale by the very people we are attemting to help. They don't give a *** about democracy. For them, this is like winning the lottery. As with most other third world countries, corruption is an indigenous part of their culture and there is no way to stop it.

This war in Iraq is EXACTLY what the experts (the CIA, Pentagon) said it was going to be.

Fools rush in and that is what we did going into Iraq, so calling the people wanting this war stupid or arrogant fits the bill just fine.

GW Bush has nothing to do with the way the military is going to employ tactics.

The military commanders do not want unnecessary deaths, but right now, they are on the ground in Iraq, by order of the President. People are dying all around our troops and they cannot do much about it. They do not know why they are there, or why the people in Iraq started killing each other.

If the experts said it would be this way, why did we not take the time to create a better plan? I think I know part of the reasons: "politics". The party wanting this war needed it to BEGIN quickly or it might never come to pass.

How unfortunate for our brothers and sisters in the military that they can be wasted along side of Iraqi people without a known, true and just cause.

Scandals, war in Iraq, I'll promote whatever it takes to get these ignorant and corrupt fools out of my government.

One thing I KNOW is, I don't really know why G.W. Bush sent US service men and women to be killed and maimed in Iraq. We do have some resonable people in our government, but they are NOT in the White House, that I know too.

Most of the experts, Bush and Chenney had at their disposal, said going to Iraq is a mistake.

Why are we in IRAQ? I don't know, but I do know that Republicans were and are in power everywhere in our government.

Bush, Chenney, Rumsfeld, and all the rest of the White House fools:

I put the blame solely in your hands for the cursory war in Iraq, which you and your sloppy administration led us into.

I WANT FAMILY OF MINE TO COME HOME ALIVE FROM IRAQ. I NEVER WANT CURSORY LEADERS PUTTING MY FAMILIY IN HARMS WAY, WHEN I DON'T KNOW WHY OR FOR DISPUTED REASONS.

I am a Republican at Heart but enough is enough it is time for the President to pull us out of there, who cares if Iraq is stable or not, I don't those people could care less for us and who cares if the world thinks we are the bad guys because we left them in a period of flux, I say pull out and if the terrorist move back in we go to war again, and etc. we as a country should speak up and tell or government to think of this country first.

Not only is perception5 nuts but by the first word used "HEY" they are from the South and or in their 20's. Tax cut...give me a break.
Missing from the Defense Department's inventory books were 13,180 semiautomatic pistols, 751 assault rifles and 99 machine guns. NICE JOB...BRING OUR MEN AND WOMEN HOME and get all those jackasses out of Washington before they take down OUR Country!
