Excuse me, but what the fuck!
1/2 a million AK-47 Mags?
Ok. Alex Jones ain't looking so crazy now.
200,000 man Afghanistan-army that won't be dependent upon the Russians for spares.
ReplyDeletethey can get that by donation from China. why are we buying them and if thats the case then why doesn't the request simply say so. this thing is buzzing around the internet like sferrin chasing dick.
DeleteWould it be the Army directly that supplies the Afgans or the State department or what? Another possibility would be the Syrians or Iraqis I guess
ReplyDeleteGoing to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Syria and Lebanon.
ReplyDeleteFind out who is using AK-47's enough to need new magazines and you have the answer.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if these go to some African nation maybe even Somalia.
Perhaps also these are meant to arm the blacks in their coming war on whites, maybe for gays war on straight people, Feminist war on men, PETA for the war on hunting and eating meat.
Hell the number of hate groups against different parts of normal society and those who want to keep the Constitution and bill of rights, Christian's that could be armed by the current administration are endless!
Maybe the Muslim parade on the coming 9/11/13 memorial day is the time designated for Muslim day of rage and they may need the US Gov. help to protect themselves from anti Muslim backlash.
With this administration anything and everything stupid, or insane that can happen can and will happen.
An Example is Ambassador Stevens murder and the rest of the sordid story.
What does the United States Army need with one half million brand new AK-47 magazines for?
Combat load of 150 rd is five mags divided by half million comes to 100000 AK-47 assault rifle armed individuals.
So where are those 100000 rifles, riflemen, and magazines?
