U.S. officials with access to the latest U.S. intelligence on Iraq told Fox News it "appears likely/probable" that U.S.-made Stinger missiles have fallen into the hands of Sunni insurgents.

Iraqi intelligence officials said ISIS fighters managed to take control of two big weapons depots late last week holding some 400,000 items, including AK-47 rifles, rockets and rocket-propelled grenades, artillery shells and mortars. A quarter of the stockpiles were quickly sent to Syria in order to help the group's comrades there, they said.

“Fallen”?
Try “SUPPLIED WITH JOY COURTESY OF OBAMA”, that’s what the weapons running through Benghazi was, and these were the clowns being supplied by the Dems.

[WayneS]

Fallen?

Hell, Obama most likely GAVE these weapons to them.

[Uncle Miltie]

0bama shipped them to Al Qaeda from Benghazi.

[Prole]

I wouldn’t fly a helicopter to close to Iraq these days.

[Mouton]

Were we not furnishing supplies to the enemies of Assad in Syria? Are these not the same people or an affiliated group?

I wonder if they will also come up with some WMDs that never existed in Iraq too! (sarcasm off now)

Turkey and Germany both manufacture them. Turkey shipped some to the “moderate terrorists” in northern Syria last year.

Here is a list of some 30 nations that have variations of them.

Yes.
But McCain, and Obama gave support to the Syrian “rebels”, guess who ISIS is?
The Obama administration was arming these guys.

Dead Broke on.

(2012 story) Syrian Rebels Claim First Jet Downing, in Possible Shift for War

Local activists said rebel fighters used a heavy antiaircraft machine gun that a local brigade had seized from a nearby military base. Qassem, an activist in the area, which is known as Mohassen and is about 15 miles from the city of Deir al-Zour, said the rebels had commandeered the weapon a month ago, and had used it once to bring down a helicopter.

Mr. Nader said the rebels could be lying. He said the rebels might not be admitting that they have antiaircraft missiles provided by international allies, because those allies did not want to be seen as fueling the conflict.

[Uncle Chip]

Well there goes control of the skies —

[cripplecreek]

Turkey wouldn’t give them missiles out of the goodness of their hearts I’m sure. More likely some convoluted deal with us paying Turkey to ship the missiles to the terrorists in Syria.

[Darksheare]

With the morons running things, who knows.

[Little Ray]

Geez, can it be any more obvious?
Our government GAVE them Stingers. Probably at Benghazi.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Maybe they can use them to shoot down Iranian Jets? That or Syrian Migs. We should not be going back—Desert Storm III shouldn’t be on the table. Let nature take its corse.

US-made Stinger missiles have likely fallen(been pushed) into ISIS hands, officials say

It's such an amazing coincidence that the Syrian terrorist have acquired the heavy weapons Obama has been trying to give them for over a year. There's no way in hell that our intelligence people didn't see this coming months in advance. Nothing would surprise me when it comes to these scumbags.
