Obama Administration blocks attempts to fly heavy weapons to Kurds to fight the Islamic State
Jihad Watch ^ | 7/02/15 | Robert Spencer

obama-finger-“There is simply no strategic approach. There is a lack of coordination in selecting targets, and there is no overall plan for defeating Isil.” Indeed. The President keeps forcing people to ask the question, Which side is he on?

“US blocks attempts by Arab allies to fly heavy weapons directly to Kurds to fight Islamic State,” by Con Coughlin, Telegraph, July 2, 2015:

The United States has blocked attempts by its Middle East allies to fly heavy weapons directly to the Kurds fighting Islamic State jihadists in Iraq, The Telegraph has learnt.

Some of America’s closest allies say President Barack Obama and other Western leaders, including David Cameron, are failing to show strategic leadership over the world’s gravest security crisis for decades.

We MUST find a way around them.

Of course, then Obama’s buddies might lose.

There is no need to wonder. 0bama and his cronies have published their game plan for decades. Alinsky, Cloward Piven, hais czars. All have publish thei plans. Goals, targets, implementation. Only the idiots who refused to believe are mystified and in wonder.

blueyon, are you confused? how??

ask yourself, if an enemy agent were to be elected, what actions would he and his admin take?

compare your answer to the last 6 years.

then ask yourself, who does 0bama resemble? Reagan/Bush/Nixon/Kennedy/FDR/etc .. or the enemy agent?

Wouldnt it be better if the Iraqi equipment from the US went to the Kurds rather than ISIS?

Assad, as an agent of Iran and the Ruskies has limited value to the West.

Iran and Turkey have let VJ know that they frown on Kurds with big guns. VJ has directed her homunculus to make it appropriate adjustments.

No plan for defeating Islamic terrorists.

Benghazi was a part of the plan to help ...

Nobody looks good in this mission. Assad has been around awhile. I guess the question is: Why now?

“lets see if Barry gives the order to shoot them down creating an international incident.”

Assuming the US has let the world know it controls that air space the pilots will take whatever action they are ordered by their rules of engagement. Just flying over the area might (depending on the ROI) put the delivery pilots at risk. They’ll just be contractors, most likely from the west. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely the Turks will allow land transport and most likely the Iraqis won’t allow the weapons to reach the Kurds either.

The Jordanians might deliver them, though. Likewise the Israelis. (Although, they are keeping a low profile.)

Some are saying the answer to that question is in the Bible.

Get a knowing volunteer to fly the plane and pay his family handsomly. Load the plain with captured terrorists, the higher ranked the better. Announce that the plane is loaded with said weapons for the kurds. Fly that plain in.

If we shoot it down, everyone but Barry wins. If we don’t, The kurds kill them and everyone but Barry wins.

Rinde, add weapon, repeat. Rinse, add weapon, repeat.

Also, if we shoot a plane down, Barry is guilty of killing unarmed muslims. The Saudis can then crucify him in the muslim world

Much better to work on Iran than Assad. He currently has plenty on his plate.

The Kurds dont have a record of dropping their weapons and fleeing like the Iraqis. Send the weapons. But, of course, our Imam in Chief is conflicted about fellow moslems, no matter how evil, losing in battle.
