Iraq’s Military Requesting $1.39B in Weapons, Vehicles, and Equipment

As Iraq’s military gets back to its feet, it has received armored vehicles, up-armored Hummers, and assorted weapons, vehicles, and aircraft.

Didn't we just destroy their weapons? i remember seeing soldiers blowing up stacks of machine guns.

Sure, agree. Question, is it a couple of $B or much more. When i did read the text and made reverse in articles..it`s sure don`t looked to me us just a couple of $B.
And Oil for Rifles program isn`t just working yet, obviously.
