... then who is arming the Sunni Insurgents (http://news.google.co.uk/news?sourceid=navclient&aq=sunni%20insurgents&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLJ,GGLJ:2006-36,GGLJ:en&q=sunni+insurgents&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wn)? Surely Iran cannot be arming them, too?

Katzman said that even if Iran helped get Shi'ite militias under control, Sunni insurgents would continue to wage war against the Shi'ite-dominated Iraqi government.

Arms dealer Viktor Bout (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Bout), whose services have been engaged by the Bush administration in Iraq (http://www.globalpolicy.org/intljustice/wanted/2004/1021bout.htm), was the carrier involved when 200 000 AK-47s destined for Iraqi security forces (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=17055497&method=full&siteid=94762&headline=have-200-000-missing-ak47s-fallen-into-the-hands-of-iraq-terrorists---name_page.html,HAVE) disappeared without a trace. I wonder where they ended up.

Naw, man. Dick knows that when you're deep-woods lawyer-huntin' it's Remington all the way. The conrol you need to hit your target exactly in the face can only be had from America's finest 12-gauge. Plus there's scarcely a need for a former Halliburton exec to buy foreign.
