As George W. Bush ponders the failure of his twin missions to terminate ancient local cultures in Afghanistan and Iraq and seeks to understand why his highly trained and expensively equipped forces have failed to subdue resistance from raggle – taggle militias Boggart Blog can reveal the answer.
Instead of looking to Al Qaeda, The Mahdi Army, covert Saudi operations and a conspiracy between the cheese eating surrender monkeys and the Chinese, President Bush need look no further for the culprits than The Pentagon.
To paraphrase what Bill Clinton once said to Pappy Bush, “Its the Bullets Stupid.”
Were I the Commander in chief I would be asking WTF the Department were thinking of when they awarded a contract to supply arms and munitions worth $300million to a one man company named AEY run by a small time con – man and fraudster out of a mail drop address in Miami.
Efriam Diversoli (22) tendered for the contract to supply guns and bullets to the U.S. military and on being awarded the contract managed to fulfil the requisition by supplying hardware sourced from stockpiles in former Soviet republics that he found for sale on the internet.
The equipment was poorly made, obsolete and had deteriorated badly after being stored in unsuitable conditions. The guns didn’t shoot straight and the bullets often didn’t fire.
This goes a long way towards explaining many things I think.
