WTF Is It Now?!?

Two Democratic senators asked the US occupation authority in Iraq on Wednesday to explain its intended purchase of up to 50,000 AK-47 assault rifles for Iraq security forces, when they said the country is filled with such weapons.

The contract sought prices for up to 50,000 "brand new, never fired, fixed stock" weapons made in 1987 or later.

"We question whether this is an efficient use of US taxpayer dollars in a country already awash with AK-47s, many of which have been confiscated by coalition forces and are sitting in stockpiles," Senators Byron Dorgan and Ron Wyden wrote Paul Bremer, head of the governing authority.

Huh. So what part of the Bush/Cheney Cartel has their fingers in this pie? Bechtel? The Carlyle Group?
