190,000 weapons missing in Iraq

More good news from Iraq that the surge is working!

190,000 AK-47 assault rifles might have ended up in insurgents’ hands. The US military cannot account for 190,000 AK-47 assault rifles and pistols given to the Iraqi security forces, an official US report says. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) says the Pentagon cannot track about 30% of the weapons distributed in Iraq over the past three years. The Pentagon did not dispute the figures, but said it was reviewing arms deliveries procedures. BBC News
