 The Case of the Moldy AmmunitionPosted on Mar 27, 2008
The United States’ chief supplier of ammunition to Afghan forces is under investigation for a number of potential violations that give the unfortunate impression that America is less than fully committed to its fight against the Taliban. For example, AEY Inc., which is led by a 22-year-old and a masseur, is reported to have supplied 40-year-old ammunition that may have been illegally manufactured in China.

If the U.S. has to give up ammo to a foreign nation as aid, so be it.
They better say thank you.

Jim are you sure God really appointed G.W. with this “clear vision” or is it just the deluded buzz from the cocaine and booze that G.W. just indulged in telling him so?

The only thing the USSA is committed to is having a select few good old boys making boat loads of money.
The current wars are just the latest convenient excuses for BAU.

Another excellent job of supplying inferior products for which the American taxpayers foot the bill was brought to you by one the Bush administrations private contractors. G.W. says, “My goal is to out source and privatize everything at greatly inflated prices for the best of inferior merchandise, so all of my rich friends become richer and we can finally bring the American people to its knees. Mission accomplished.” “I’m George Bush, and I approve this message.”

Why would anybody be surprised that we have spent our tax money to buy dud bullets and guns to send to a fight? This administration put into place by fundamentalist Christians with a single issue to force themselves on the rest of us, is just business as usual. No bid contracts years after the Iraq war was started by this administration on lies and manipulation of information, No oversight and clear understanding that large amounts of tax payer money and Iraqi money have gone to enrich coporations and individuals who have brought the country to this tragic conclusion, the loss of our democracy for coporate irresponsibility and lying and cheating and murder and torture. Oh we can’t say we torture because God appointed George W. Bush with a clear vision and he says what is not torture and so torture is not torture anymore. What a load of dung.
