Charles Pierce: Here's a plan. Stop sending weaponry to a place if you can't keep track of it
With Yemen in turmoil and its government splintering, the Defense Department has lost its ability to monitor the whereabouts of small arms, ammunition, night-vision goggles, patrol boats, vehicles and other supplies donated by the United States. The situation has grown worse since the United States closed its embassy in Sanaa, the capital, last month and withdrew many of its military advisers...
Here's a plan. Stop sending weaponry to a place if you can't keep track of it. Stop trying to sort out which people doing the slaughtering are the Good People doing the slaughtering. Best as I can figure out, we're supporting some people in Iraq that we're opposing in Syria, and vice versa, and now it seems we're arming all sides, occasionally by accident. I don't mean to shout, but, honestly…
They lost four Hueys?
They lost a CN-235? A CN-235 is 70 goddamn feet long!
Have they checked under the cushions of the sofa?

Sounds like Charlie has been raiding the bar at the Pierce Shebeen again. 
More seriously, our Military Heroes, under the barely distinguishable command of Pinky and the Brain managed to LOSE $12 billion in cash in Iraq.
$12 billion in $100 bills
In the year after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 nearly 281 million notes, weighing 363 tonnes, were sent from New York to Baghdad for disbursement to Iraqi ministries and US contractors.

IS that even POSSIBLE???
363 tons = 50 FULL GROWN AFRICAN BULL ELEPHANTS
363 tons = 242 1.5 ton AUTOMOBILES
363 tons = 7,260 100 pound boxes PACKED TO BURSTING WITH $100 BILLS
The head explodes at the thought, as if one were in a David Cronenburg movie.
