Hmmmm… This Stars & Stripes writeup makes No mention of AeroComm,
Victor Bout the air carrier's owner, or his taliban connection, the
Russian mafia… nada.
Must be one of 'THOSE' redact…. I MEAN 'coincidences'… It's always the
bean-counters, as if they have adequate, uncooked information to work
from in the first place:
"The report faulted the Pentagon and the U.S. military command in Iraq
for not applying the same standards in tracking supplies and weapons
that it does elsewhere."
Someone's Lying… Someone's DEFINITELY Lying - Gen. David H. Petraeus:
"We believe those weapons (the missing 200,000 AK-47) all certainly
were given to Iraqi units…"

Protecting A Bosnian Air Carrier Owned By Victor Bout, Fugitive

190,000 AK 47 machine guns and pistols the US gave Iraqi security
forces in 2004 and 2005 vanished, courtesy of a Bosnian air shipping
outfit run by a Russian fugitive mobster and employed indirectly by
the Pentagon. This is the CIA-Mafia connection of the 1960s Heroin
trade redux with a military-industrial complex flavor.
We may not know for certain where all those AKs went, but I CAN
show you, with some degree of certainty, where they USED TO GO… and
how they got there.
Here is one of the questions I posed in a earlier blog posting on the topic:
"Could these folks have been involved with running Osama
bin-Laden's KLA buddies around Central Asia at the CIA's behest just a
decade or so ago?"
I found this Wikipedia entry to be quite informative, and brings
me MUCH CLOSER to "Yes":

Petraeus blames bookkeeping for missing weapons
Thursday, August 9, 2007
Bookkeeping problems are to blame for the inability to account for
nearly 200,000 weapons issued to Iraqi security forces, the top U.S.
commander in Iraq said late Tuesday.
In an interview on Fox News Radio, Gen. David H. Petraeus said he
believes the weapons did reach the security forces, but that paperwork
deficiencies don't show their status.
"We believe those weapons all certainly were given to Iraqi units,"
Petraeus said, according to a podcast recording on "The Alan Colmes
Show."
Meanwhile, 125,000 sets of body armor and 115,000 helmets intended for
Iraqi forces could not be accounted for either, according to a
Government Accountability Office report issued July 31.
The report faulted the Pentagon and the U.S. military command in Iraq
for not applying the same standards in tracking supplies and weapons
that it does elsewhere. The system has since been improved, the report
found.
