ISIS VIDEO: AMERICA’S AIR DROPPED WEAPONS NOW IN OUR HANDS
The Daily Beast ^ | Oct. 21,2014 | Josh Rogin

At least one bundle of U.S. weapons airdropped in Syria appears to have fallen into the hands of ISIS, a dangerous misfire in the American mission to speed aid to Kurdish forces making their stand in Kobani.

An ISIS-associated YouTube account posted a new video online Tuesday entitled, “Weapons and munitions dropped by American planes and landed in the areas controlled by the Islamic State in Kobani.” The video was also posted on the Twitter account of “a3maq news,” which acts as an unofficial media arm of ISIS. The outfit has previously posted videos of ISIS fighters firing American made Howitzer cannons and seizing marijuana fields in Syria. “We feel very confident that, when we air drop support as we did into Kobani… we’ve been able to hit the target in terms of reaching the people we want to reach,” Rhodes told CNN. “What I can assure people is that, when we are delivering aid now, we focus it on the people we want to receive that assistance. Those are civilians in need. Those are forces that we’re aligned with in the fight against ISIL [the government’s preferred acronym for ISIS], and we take precautions to make sure that it’s not falling into the wrong hands.”

Rhodes was responding to questions about a Monday report in The Daily Beast that U.S. humanitarian aid was flowing into ISIS controlled areas near Kobani by truck. That aid was mostly food and medical supplies, not the kind of lethal weapons in the new ISIS video.

How much of this do you think is incompetence by the Obama Administration and how much is treason?

Aside from a few useful idiots, I think it is almost entirely treason. The Obama Administration created, funded and trained ISIS. Now they continue to provide them with weapons.

Not intentional at all.../s

The truth is starting to become known even to the LIVs. The man is not a president. He is a plant.

Resupply by airdrop has usually ended in failure throughout history. There is not enough airplanes to drop the tonnages of supplies needed to keep a besieged force fed and fighting. Just ask the Germans at Stalingrad and the French at Dien Bien Phu.
