From MilitaryTimes.com ...First the good news. With recent security advances in Iraq, it looks like the U.S. military is finding more and more weapons caches in public places. Better tips combined with cash rewards are leading to so many successful raids that the U.S. military is on track to find and clear more caches by the end of August than in all of 2007 (no word on whether weapon and ammo counts will be higher too).
Now the bad news. According to John Pike, a military and security analyst, “It seems to me that the amount that has been confiscated is small relative to the amount that might be out there.”
Bad News, II. After reading the story I get the sense that the U.S. Military is little more than Iraq's billion dollar police department.
And now for the real Good News. You, me, and our kids (and grandkids) get to pay for it all.
