Exporting death

John Pike, director of the Washington military research group, GlobalSecurity.org:

""How many evil-doers have we sent to their maker using bullets rather than bombs? I don't know."

The Independent reports:

"US forces have fired so many bullets in Iraq and Afghanistan - an estimated 250,000 for every insurgent killed - that American ammunition-makers cannot keep up with demand. As a result the US is having to import supplies from Israel."

Read the whole article. It's comforting to know that war-mongers spend their days calculating how many bullets have been used in the "War on Terror" and how many "evil-doers" have been killed in the process. Any chance of a body count of innocents killed?

  1. Ammo makers you would imagine are as Bushitic as they come. A quarter million bullets for every insurgent killed? Even shit scared teenage grunts couldn't fire that many and miss. It was a quota, obviously, and the ammo makers are laughing all the way to the bank.

  2. They don't spend their days counting, it only takes a few minutes.

    They spend days wondering why the Muslims are killing each other.
