ISIS also has a good number of SA-16’s and SA-18’s. These MANPADS are very effective Soviet made IR seekers.

Fires always start with sparks. Crossing a meadow with the Kurds is best for they have both to beware of. And life has the taste of chemicals in their midst from not that long ago.

You wonder how they acquired them? They were given or sold them by US CIA types under the orders of the US President, the Big Zero.

There is a state sponsored mercenary group traveling all over North Africa and the Middle East toppling governments and killing people.

FALLEN,FALLEN?? No, sent, smuggled, provided, armed, but the weapons did not just fall into the terrorists’ hands. Thanks to the US.

The guy on Fox News said they were left with the Iraqi army when we pulled out...

Well if you read the story you would know that they got them from the Iraqi army bases that they took over the last few days.

Cover story for the missiles from Benghazi.

they got them from the Iraqi army bases

Of course nobody has asked the DOD why they provided high quality low altitude anti-aircraft weapons to a government that had no legitimate need for them. What likely opponent of the Iraqi government has an air force that we would want them to be able to fight against? Nobody, except Iran, and with the close ties between Shiites in Iraq and Iran fighting between those countries now is highly unlikely.

There was no logical reason for the USA to provide any anti-aircraft weapons to the Iraqi army. And no reason at all to provide Stingers.

The upside is that this might cause the Golfer-in-Chief to cut back on his Air Farce One junkets.

I'm still trying to think of ONE decision Obama (or Valerie jarrett) has made that was/is in the best interest of the United States of America. Our supply of gas is threatened now more than ever, but.. XL Keystone pipeline approved yet? NO!!!

I watch in wonderment as I see the forces lining up to oppose
Israel and our President aiding in the arming of all these anti-God thugs.

Remember, at the DNC convention they booed God.

Just the realization that one of our high tech drones straight up flew to Iran...by itself of course, I mean, my God! If this were a political thriller movie I’d be scoffing at the screen writer because it’s so unbelievable but this crap is really happening! What the hell!
