Where are the terrorists getting all their weapons and ammo from in IRAQ?

Question

and suicide bombs? Don't we have Iraq guarded?

Sean, your statement proves you a nut job and I will have it deleted.

Answer 1

Another failure of the Bush administration, failure to secure the borders of Iraq in order to keep the ammo and bombs from coming in. He hasn't secured our own borders either so I guess don't expect much from him as you won't get much.

Answer 2

There are a few answers to this question.

1. Syria some ammunition caches that have been found have been clearly marked as coming from Syria.
2. Not all the weapons used by the Iraqi military are accounted for I am sure that a few weapons were taken by former military personnell
3. Iran might be supplying the insurgents with arms, as well as man power.

Most of the weapons being used are probably weapons that were in the country already such as the Russian made assault rifles, some of the more technological weapons are being brought into the country through Syria, and Iran.

Answer 3

When I was there (March 2004 to March 2005), there were bombs and artillery rounds laying all around, that could me used for IED's and other explosives. There was also a lot of small arms left, such as pistols and AK-47's. All households are still allowed to have one AK-47 in each house hold, for protection. There is a lot of Ammunition left too. There were many groups of people the hid weapons for their own use or for fighting opposing groups. There is some coming through the Iranian border.

Answer 4

You think we actually have some control over there? No, we don't have the Iran border with Iraq secured, it's miles of open desert.
Before the invasion Iraq was one of the most militarized places on earth, they once had the 4th largest army in the world. There were plenty left over. And obviously there are supplies coming from Iran and Syria.

Answer 5

You can get an RPG or an AK-47 for $20. All those land mines planted by Saddam are used for IEDs. A lot of weapons and ammo were stolen after the Iraqi government fell.

Also there isn't that much fighting using RPGs and AK-47s anymore. Even the motar attacks are down. It's mostly IEDs and car bombs now made from anything that explodes inclusing artillary shells and land mines. Even those numbers are down from what they were.

The death rate from violence is down 70% from last year.

Answer 6

We can't even guard our own borders. The Syrian and Iranian borders are the weapon routes, the money comes from Saudi Arabia.

Answer 7

RECENTLY WE'VE BEEN RECOVERING RUSSIAN DONATED WEAPONS AND HAVE TRACED THEM BACK TO RUSSIA AND IRAN.

seeing that most insurgents are coming from outside Iraq ,they are carrying them in them selves.


the insurgents are being helped by the anti American machine in socialist Marxist Europe and Russia.

Answer 8

mostly iran and left over weapon caches from the russian's war in the middle east, those weapons found there way all over the middle east. most sucide bombers make home made weapons.

the newer deadly ones are coming in from iran.

Answer 9

I seem to remember a cache of truckloads of weapons being found within days of the ground invasion of Badgad

ONLY to be lost again that month!!!!!

Answer 10

Syria is the largest supplier of cheap arms, Iran is the financier who gives the money to buy from them.
