Bush can't stop his own Pentagon from selling arms to terrorrists


This man is the worst excuse for a president in American history!

Report raps Pentagon for equipment sales - Yahoo! News:

WASHINGTON - Undercover government investigators purchased sensitive surplus military equipment such as launcher mounts for shoulder-fired missiles and guided missile radar test sets from a Defense Department contractor.

Much of the equipment could be useful to terrorists, according to a draft report by the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress.

In June, two GAO investigators spent $1.1 million on such equipment at two excess property warehouses. Their purchases included several types of body armor inserts used by troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, an all-band antenna used to track aircraft, and a digital signal converter used in naval surveillance.

'The body armor could be used by terrorists or other criminal activity,' noted the report, obtained Friday by The Associated Press. 'Many of the other military items have weapons applications that would also be useful to terrorists.'
