The other question is - where are they getting this stuff before they hide it. I hope we've got the known ammo dumps guarded.

Until we find a Bondesque secret facility hidden in the desert with some sort of nefarious doomsday device ready to launch with 10 seconds notice, Bush lied about WMDs.

It would still be a "lie" because the doomsday device wasn't where Bush said it would be. Plus, he would catch grief for "not connecting the dots" and using "faulty intelligence". Additionally, he would be absolutely crucified for being "distracted" by the hunt for Osama Bin Laden when the real War On Terror is in Iraq.

[Ah Beng]

The bad news is that they apparently did not capture any of the guys.

Agreed, but had we captured them, we'd have to provide five star accommodation complete with a butler to escape criticism.

First thing I thought of when I saw that "early Birthday present" was "Wonder if he got to keep the G3??" ;)

Some of the shells were leaking, according to soldiers on the scene. Even if the shells turn out to be conventional, it would still be one of the most significant weapons seizures during the Fort Hood, Texas-based 1st Cav’s four months in Iraq.

Shhhh! Don't let the MSM get hold of this for if they do, the information will be spewed all over the world in a heartbeat! /sarcasm

Actually, we can interogate them seriously still. Certainly the guys that catch them, can instill nervousness maybe even more nerveousness in them now.

What we can not do is use them as props in our porn videos. I can not say I have a problem with that.

[ChefKeith]

Because they are in constant denial

I'll see if it makes the Ft. Hood Military Newspaper.

Better yet, drop McClure Volkmer (sp?) and sell the class III firearms to civillians here. Make more money that way.

[flashbunny]

Yeah, but thought I'd ask for something that might stand a better chance of actually happening.

What I'd really like is for all US made firearms that were exported overseas for other countries intimes of war (like lend-lease firearms) to be allowed to be re-imported into the US.

"Maybe Fox will have something on this!"

Maybe. They should have 'lit them up.'

[SLB]

"Surprise, Surprise, Surprise"

As scouts closed in, the men ran for it. A poor decision.

“I saw four running. [Spc. Mike] McCormick and I probably fired 200 rounds each. Then I looked and only saw one running,” Starlin said.

This isn't bad for a militry that we were told could not operate in desert sand and urban environments.

[Semper Paratus]

Never mind. Just more 'leftovers' that Blix missed while wolfing down another falafel pocket.

[Cannoneer No. 4]

Hope is not a plan.
