Reply #68: Why do you find this hard to believe?

[leanings]

"I find it hard to believe that the U.S. military "doesn't know how" the weapons that are theirs and that they acknowledge being sent to the DR last year -- ended up in the hands of these opposition criminals."

The weapons are no longer property of the US. They were given or sold to the DR. Again, I've also seen German G3 rifles in the hands of the rebels. That doesn't lead me to believe the Germans are involved. Happens all the time, all over the world. Same with the joint exercise. I'm sure SOUTHCOM had SF involved in exercises in a dozen countries last year alone. Nothing here is particularly peculiar or out of the ordinary.
