HenryHill9323 65 Posted March 21, 2015 This isn't just rifles and bullets here. List of stuff they lost is in the link. Pentagon loses track of $500 million in weapons, equipment given to YemenThe Pentagon is unable to account for more than $500 million in U.S. military aid given to Yemen, amid fears that the weaponry, aircraft and equipment is at risk of being seized by Iranian-backed rebels or al-Qaeda, according to U.S. officials. With Yemen in turmoil and its government splintering, the Defense Department has lost its ability to monitor the whereabouts of small arms, ammunition, night-vision goggles, patrol boats, vehicles and other supplies donated by the United States. The situation has grown worse since the United States closed its embassy in Sanaa, the capital, last month and withdrew many of its military advisers. In recent weeks, members of Congress have held closed-door meetings with U.S. military officials to press for an accounting of the arms and equipment. Pentagon officials have said that they have little information to go on and that there is little they can do at this point to prevent the weapons and gear from falling into the wrong hands. “We have to assume it’s completely compromised and gone,” said a legislative aide on Capitol Hill who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. U.S. military officials declined to comment for the record. A defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the Pentagon, said there was no hard evidence that U.S. arms or equipment had been looted or confiscated. But the official acknowledged that the Pentagon had lost track of the items http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/pentagon-loses-sight-of-500-million-in-counterterrorism-aid-given-to-yemen/2015/03/17/f4ca25ce-cbf9-11e4-8a46-b1dc9be5a8ff_story.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rholio 339 Posted March 21, 2015 How much is 500 million in pentagon dollars? About $3.50. The Loch Ness monster was probably involved.

And they will make more replacing them. This news story served it's purpose, a dig at Obama, but nothing will happen. Who's going to be held accountable, the military? We don't do that anymore, it was outlawed sept 12, 2001. Move along, you're not going to get congress to go after someone or something that writes them checks. Wake up.

Unpossible, there weren't any U.S. troops in Yemen. http://news.yahoo.com/yemen-leader-defiant-first-speech-fleeing-capital-153238494.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,484 Posted March 22, 2015 The U.S. has removed all remaining personnel from Yemen as Shiite rebels controlling the country’s capital called for others to join its battle against government forces. The State Department said in a statement it is removing personnel due to the “deteriorating security situation” in the country. The State Department also said it will continue to engage the Yemeni people and international community to support the country’s political transition Google.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The worlds three most infamous terrorist organizations are working together at Al-Qaeda-run training camps in the Sahara Desert in Mauritania, where dozens of recruits from the U.S., Canada and Europe are being indoctrinated into violent jihad and training for attacks that could expand the so-called caliphate across North and West Africa, according to analysts. ISIS, Boko Haram and Al-Qaeda all have links to two camps in the remote sands of the expansive North African country, according to Veryan Khan, editorial director for the Florida-based Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium, which tracks international terrorism and had a source on the ground in Mauritania. The sparsely populated Islamic Republic weathered Arab Spring demonstrations to remain stable, but shares a border with troubled Mali and is not far from Nigeria, where Boko Haram is based.

The worst day of RP's life (other than when he learned how his wife gets doctors to endorse her drugs) is the day Bin LAden was killed. Great day for America. Horrible day for RP, who realized he did what Bush failed to do for all those years. RP rejoices at everything bad that happens, and dismisses anything good. This is what makes his type the absolute worst kind of Americans. He's not routing for his country. He's hoping things go poorly so that his party benefits in the long run. Unfortunately, he's not alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By Malia ZimmermanPublished March 23, 2015 What's your opinion on this Phur boy? Should we be offering military aid to a country like Yemen who is trying to combat these forces of evil? What about when it blows up in our face like it apparently has this time? No aid? Just let them go it alone? Maybe we need more of our boots on the ground? Surely you must have some ideas about what we should be doing since you're such a constant critic of what we are doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
