Theft of US weapons in Libya involved hundreds of guns, sources say

[98Z5V]

The theft is much, much worse than previously reported...

 

"According to State Department and military sources, dozens of highly armored vehicles called GMV's, provided by the United States, are now missing. The vehicles feature GPS navigation as well as various sets of weapon mounts and can be outfitted with smoke-grenade launchers. U.S. Special Forces undergo significant training to operate these vehicles. Fox News is told the vehicles provided to the Libyans are now gone. 

 

Along with the GMV's, hundreds of weapons are now missing, including roughly 100 Glock pistols and more than 100 M4 rifles. More disturbing, according to the sources, is that it seems almost every set of night-vision goggles has also been taken. This is advanced technology that gives very few war fighters an advantage on the battlefield. "

I hate reading things like, "a former US training camp is now being used by terrorist groups who are hoarding weapons."

I'd much prefer to read, "an unidentified ICBM was launched from a remote location in the middle of xxx ocean and completely decimated a terrorist camp in the middle of [insert Country here]. No survivors reported. No Governement has taken responsibility for the ICBM."

Do they really think we believe this bullpoopy. when all else failed now these weapons and vehicles "came up missing".....I call bullpoopy.  I think the government let these conveniently come up missing to accomplish their original intentions.

We can't sell them arms after the treaty kicks in. Nothing says we can't let them be stolen after a paypal donation is made though.
