In a new video posted online, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claims it has captured weapons and ammunition dropped by the U.S. military that was intended for Kurdish forces defending an embattled Syrian city near the Turkish border.

The airdrops Sunday were the first of their kind and followed weeks of U.S. and coalition airstrikes in and near Kobani.

In the video, ISIS claims some of the weapons and ammunition was air-dropped by mistake on its positions in Kobani.

Air is supposed to be support for the ground, not the whole combat effort.

Yes. And, Syria for Obama regarding the Kurds is not a priority. As far as I've gathered there are no airstrikes (or air-support) by any U.S. Coalition member in Syria (Kobani for example). Obama wants Assad gone from Syria (calls it a political solution). Iraq is the priority as far as fighting ISIS is concerned.

I agree that technologies have changed a lot. I no longer have to use punch cards to program a computer.

Military technologies 20 years ahead of whats available to the public? Fantasy. The only stuff the military has that is more advanced than what civilians have are items that are restricted for sale to the general public.

Pin pointing a target for destruction is quite different than doing a dumb resupply drop. One in eight outside the DZ is not bad.

Call of Duty is not real life.

This article actually has an Obama reqime spokesman assurinq us that they qet their air drops to exactly the people they want them to qet to....

So no, they’re not even claiminq this was an accident - at least not in this article.

Obama has armed, funded, trained, stalled so they could escape, etc our terrorist enemies - at the very time our troops are not qettinq traininq because the ONLY spendinq Obama is willinq to cut is fundinq for our military. The man is OPENLY carryinq out the Muslim aqenda aqainst the American people. Which is EXACTLY what his handlers illeqally put him in place to do.

Anybody who still doubts that by now couldn’t buy a clue from Vanna White.
