Another reason not to trust American 'news' reporters

Headline: US "Loses" $500 Million In Weapons Given To Yemen, Now In Al-Qaeda Hands

Half a billion dollars in weapons. Lost.

But … the story: ”more than 20 vehicles were taken … from Sanaa’s airport.”

"the Pentagon is unable to account for more than $500 million in U.S. military aid given to Yemen."

“the Defense Department has lost its ability to monitor the whereabouts of small arms, ammunition, night vision goggles, patrol boats, vehicles and other supplies donated by the United States.”

Yemen has received “$500 million in aid from the United States since 2007…”

All that stuff “is at risk” of falling into the wrong hands. Yeah, and it’s at risk of falling into the hands of local camel drivers, too.

All the so-called reporters want to do, though, is give the idea the U.S. gave Al-Qaeda $500 million in M16 rifles and ammunition. Doofuses.
