TV footage shows Afghan insurgents with US ammo.
Television footage broadcast Tuesday showed insurgents handling what appears to be U.S. ammunition in a remote area of eastern Afghanistan that American forces left last month following a deadly firefight that killed eight troops.The U.S. military said the forces that left the area said they removed and accounted for their equipment.
The Al-Jazeera video showed insurgents handling weapons, including anti-personnel mines with U.S. markings on them, but it was unclear when the video had been filmed. The television station reported that insurgents said they seized the weapons from two U.S. remote outposts in Nuristan province.
Are you surprised?

What a waste of money. The American people could live well if our government would stay out of things.

Yes, we could all have a better life if we stopped interfering where we should not.
