The military can supposedly trace serial #s of Iranian weapons in Iraq but can't track their own

[bigtree]

They have the gall to change the subject and accuse Iran of arming and training insurgents. When are they going to be held accountable for flooding Iraq with weapons, igniting the violence and fueling Iraq's civil war? When are they going to be held accountable for the injuries and deaths which have come from those weapons they lost, and for the Iraqis they trained and armed that they've lost track of?


here's a NTY account from today: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/08/world/middleeast/08mi...

General Odierno said Iranians had also provided Shiite groups with 107-millimeter rockets and the launchers for firing them, as well as 122-millimeter mortars.

American forces, he said, recently thwarted an attack at a military base used by forces from the Third Infantry Division. Fifty launchers equipped with rockets were discovered within range of the facility and struck by allied aircraft. Serial numbers taken from the rocket launchers, he said, indicated that they were made in Iran.


Weapons coming into Iraq from their next-door neighbor, Iran (and security partner with the new regime), are infinitely more understandable than the weapons deliberately proliferated into Iraq by the U.S..
