The Pentagon auctioned off its surplus which included missile components and parts to the F-14 Tomcats. In the article; "The Pentagon recently retired it's Tomcats and is shipping tens of thousands of parts to its surplus office- -where they could be sold in public auction. Iran is the only other country flying F14's."
Do you think the Pentagon would have been better off scraping the parts like tin can recycling, or selling them to an "axis of Evil" empire? Could we find some time to fire anyone with responsibility to this brilliant decision?

We can't keep these parts from the Iranians. If we do, they'll buy them from someone else. They're worth much more thanscrap, you know!
