#1 Stingers sound just what the doctor would order for low slow UAV type flying bombs the Iranian's experimented with in Lebanon.

#2 Why the Stinger Unit Was Sent to Iraq

I didn't include this bit of info I received last week and left some of it in the comment section yesterday, #4 .

My friend in the Balad environs [Apache tec mechanic] also said that 'recently' (?) some American Stingers were stolen in Iraq, by the Jehadi shit-heads somehow? (i suspect rogue elements of the Iraqi Army might have been in on it)

Of course the first thing I asked him was, what the hell were our Man-Pads doing in the Iraq combat theater in the first instance? He said that he only heard that they had been stolen but that didn't know any of the particulars why they were in Iraq to begin with.

If I get anything further that seems safe to comment on I'll share it.

keep in mind my 'report' could be just another rumour.
