[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2143078, member: 42"] This is a classic example of the liberal tactic of "Repeat the lie often enough and it becomes the truth". Except now, folks on the right are doing it. This has been mutating for over a year with numerous articles piggybacking on each other and giving it new legs, like the one in the OP that states "as confirmed by the AP", but if you actually read the AP article they confirmed no such thing. But someone prints it and it spreads and becomes the truth. There NEVER has been a [I]purchase[/I] order submitted for 1.6 billion rounds nor has there ever been multiple smaller quantity [I]purchase orders [/I]submitted that total 1.6 billion. There have been RFQs and IDIQs submitted, the caps on which may total 1.6 billion rounds. If someone takes a few minutes to get educated on IDIQ, RFQ, and competitive sourcing they will soon seen that none of those equal a purchase. No funds are exhanged, there is no commitment to purchase, agencies aren't funded for any future purchases in advance, and no product ever actually needs to be delivered. The process of IDIQ can actually save the government money...heaven forbid we do that right? This guy breaks it down, back to the original source documens better than I can: [url]http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/2013/03/15/homeland-securitys-ammunition-purchases-should-not-worry-you/[/url] [/QUOTE]
