#7  Almost all of it is from AWOL Afghan military who sell there personal weapons. Makes one want to arm them with weapons made from Cobalt-60.

#6  Not all that much equipment was shown.

I don't know, the message seemed to be: "If you want to live in a stone quarry with rusting hulks of cars and wander around in rags, throw in with the Taliwackoed?"

#5  How much of it was captured from NATO/US forces, and how much of it came from the "Mighty" Pak Army?

#4  From Al Jazeera, so salt to taste.

equipment could have come from:
1) The Pakis
2) Afghan police and/or military
3) abandoned by US military.

My betting is on 2)

#3  I guess they're going to repeat this story until they get the desired effect out of it, i.e. provide cover for Presidente Zero's withdrawl plan.

Meanwhile, we do supply a lot of military aid to Pakistan who's been supplying these people.

For Sale, One Afghani Rifle with ammo, never fired, dropped only once, mint condition. Comes with 40mm grenades and other supplies available.

Other weapons available, No Reasonable Offer Refused!

Ask for Abdul the ammo dump guard after he comes off duty at the US base.
