Why is it that I can't own one of those and he can? Also why are our military guns in the hands of jihader's?

Because they were once the enemy of our enemy and then became OUR enemy after we armed and trained them.

We keep doing that for some reason.

I read somwhere that the IDF somtimes sell older rifles to the Pali's.  I know, sounds unlikely but that what I heard.

Oh good, you see the red X's too. I thought is was just the third stage of syphilus.

In addition to the PA as noted by Kpel we armed what became Al Quida (when they were fighting the Russians in the early 80s) and Iraq when they were fighting Iran.

I would like to see a cite that shows when and how we armed the Palestinians.
As for Al Quaeda, that's been debunked so many times that I have to wonder if those that keep repeating it don't care that it's not true.

Are you disputing we provided military arms to Afghanistan in the 80s or are you disputing that they eventually ended up in the hands of Al Quida?

As for the arming of Palestinians I'll run over to the CIA Covert Actions Homepage and get a link from their Unpopular Activity Forum. [rollyes]

I love how you guys think there is always a link.

Those are not "sub"machine guns. They are machine guns.

Sub guns fire handgun ammo.

You can own them, it's just since you have more money and can afford to pay more the market here then demands that you pay more.

Don't be suprise if that rifle cost that guy a years pay. Even though a years pay there is maybe $400

My pastors went to Israel, & said they use Mercedes for the standard Taxi. It's supply, & demand. I bet they got the weapons for next to nothing though. Maybe from a dead relatives hand after an Israeli attack.[:D] GO IDF!!!

Why would we arm Al Qaeda, now or EVER, with M16's?  I'd guess that all small arms sold to Afghani's during the 80's were what everybody carried in that region- AK's.



As to that pic, two thoughts:  first, lotsa lotsa guns floating around in that region; second, the price that kid'll pay is to be dead by 18 by self-imposed semtex suicide.  

That means that by the time we're just starting to enjoy full-auto weapons, he's just starting in on those 71 virgins.
