BAGHDAD, April 22 (Reuters) - Iraqi security forces will start replacing their AK-47 rifles this year with the M-16s and M-4s used by U.S. troops, which will help track the weapons and cut down on theft, a senior U.S. military official said.

Вот теперь дела быстро пойдут на лад. Я уверен.

Тhe Iraqi government had allocated $7.3 billion, or 20 percent of its 2007 budget, to security forces and would spend $9 billion over the next 18 months. Washington would contribute a further $5 billion over the same period.

Состоятельный тип этот Вашингтон -- интересно, чем занимается.

Вот тоже интересная подробность: Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is also under pressure from his fractious government to set a timetable for a U.S. withdrawal.

Чем-то, похожим на онанизм. Сам оружие продаёт, сам за него платит.

Don't forget about the wall, too! It will help to cut down on... whatever are these things that walls help to cut down on.
