From CNN:

" Meanwhile, the Iraqi government on Friday offered cash to people who surrender medium and heavy weapons by April 8."

Where, I wonder, is the Iraqi government getting the cash to do this?  Hmmm.  Feel that burning sensation, Mr. taxpayer?  Someone pass the oil!  Hurry!

If anyone actually DOES turn their weapon over for cash, it means they have more of them stashed somewhere.

Think, an entire country named Waco...

Are those the hundred-thousand or so weapons that "went missing," or the weapons we sold them?

 Either way it seems like we are paying for them twice over.
