$2,000,000,000 Worth of Military Supplies to Iraq and Syria–MISSING!

Winchester, VA – The Fiscal Times is reporting on a disturbing story coming from the General Accounting Office. Back in 2014, the United States government appropriated $2.3 billion dollars to be invested into weapons with which to arm the Iraqis and Kurds in their fight against the encroaching Islamic State. The money was spent on machine guns, rifles, shotguns, grenade launchers, body armor, helmets, trucks, mine-resistant vehicles, handheld radios, GPS devices and ambulances, all of which were sent to Kuwait, intended for distribution to the Iraqi security forces and the Kurdistan Regional Government. Unfortunately, in the report that the General Accounting office released last week, it was stated that upon arrival in Kuwait, the path of the weapons’ distribution was never accounted for and the Pentagon has no idea where the $2billion worth of weapons ended up. In 2015, a report by Amnesty International stated that ISIS was using American weapons which had been provided to the Iraqi, Syrian, and Kurdish forces. When the General Accounting Office was asked whether the weapons had fallen into enemy hands, the response Fiscal Times received was that the tracking of the weapons distribution after the transfer was outside the department’s scope of work.
