Insurgents will have a field day with all the weapons from China. I figured the military would have had some control on the weapons Iraq government was buying??? i just hope these weapons from China don't start killing our soldiers??
Geez we can't even arm our soldies and police forces with new up to date gear let alone try to arm the Iraqi army. Why aren't Germany, Austria, Belgium, Italy, France, and Britian helping out with arming them instead of them buying from the Chinks??? You got the Benelli M4 Super 90 shotgun from Italy, FAMAS standard assault rifle of the French military, FN FAL: FN FNC: FN MAG: FN Minimi light machine gun: FN SCAR Modular rifle(The SCAR-L fires the standard NATO 5.56mm cartridge, while the SCAR-H fires NATO 7.62mm cartridges) all made in Belgium. All Heckler & Koch varieties built by Germany, and Steyr models in service with Austria. Why not let the UN work out an arms deal to those countries to service them with weapons i'm sure those countries have stockpiles of unused arms since they aren't fighting for anything like we are.
let the chinks arm Iraq they are all terrorists and when china does deduct all the chinks make off this sale from the junk they are selling the stupid people in this country are buying at walmart-F-walmart and F-china
If they are having difficulty accounting for American weapons which are described as arriving slowly I cant imagine how bad it will be China. Especially if they very fast which is likely and will be sure as hell getting to the insurgent much easier and faster.
You've got to be freaking kidding me..... we pump billions of American dollars into Iraq, and thousands of US troops are killed and maimed and the Iraqi's use money to by weapons from CHINA!!!!
Who's driving this bus, I think the damn wheels are coming off.
Sounds like Gates has the right idea. If we want to keep Iraq from buying weapons from nations like China then we're going to have to sell faster. It would figure that none of the other NATO or coalition nations would fill the gap for the weapons. America is seen as the bad guy because we do what needs to be done for safety's sake. Britain, France, Germany, they're all gonna have to balls up and start doing what's needed. Of course they have stockpiles of weapons they could sell, but they're probably too concerned on getting a fair price than moving those weapons where they could best be put to use.
Problem of doing things faster is they already lost millions of dollars of eguipment. And now they want to go even faster. Good grief I say get a handle on whats being sent to the Iraq's troops first than worry about getting them more. Plus take it from the Insurgents cache's
