From Information Dissemination:
The following letter was sent from Congressman Gene Taylor (D-Miss) to Secretary Gates on December 18, 2009. This is remarkable.
I write to express my concern that vast amounts of equipment used to support operations will be left behind as the U.S. military draws down its presence in Iraq.
I am particularly concerned that much of the equipment in Iraq is simply unaccounted for because it was purchased outside of the DOD or military services' supply chain. Such equipment has been termed "non-standard equipment".

My Comment: I agree .... the idea that billions of dollars in equipment will be left behind in Iraq just makes my eyes roll. With future massive cuts being planned in the military to help in reducing the national debt .... this travesty of incompetence and lack of foresight in planning a proper withdrawal will cost dearly one day .... if not already.
Special kudos to
