Taliban a 'major U.S. arms dealer' after weaponry left behind in Afghanistan, watchdog warns

“The Taliban is going to be selling tickets to their terrorist gun show," head of Open the Books warns.

The spending watchdog Open The Books found $89.2 billion in military equipment, including training, was provided to Afghan security forces during America’s longest running war.

The sophisticated military equipment left behind included Blackhawk helicopters, attack aircraft, tens of thousands of vehicles, and 650,000 weapons.

"The hasty withdrawal of U.S. military forces in Afghanistan turned the Taliban into a major U.S. arms dealer for the next decade,” Open The Books CEO and Founder Adam Andrzejewski told Just The News. “The Taliban is going to be selling tickets to their terrorist gun show."

I wonder if we can pick up some M2-HBs at a discount. Of course there's the issue of ready ammo supply.

I see some New Year's deals that rival Amazon's deals!
