America dropped supplies to ISIS or....
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/20...hands.html

This is so sad on so many levels.


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.

Why do I get the feeling we are being double crossed. We trained the Iraqi units at the tune of 30 billion and now these guys pop up with our weapons. We are being played.

We continue to supply weapons to people that eventually will turn them back on our troops. Insanely stupid.

You get the feeling because we are. Although in reality, we just don't know who the **** we are talking or dealing with and any swinging dick who says he is on our side gets a free Obama gun. It doesn't take a genius to know that if you wanna Jihad like a real man all you have to do is hold your hand out and Obama will make it easier for you.

Pardon my French

Handing out guns to people you don't know is a bad idea.

I get so easily disgusted with a lot of things. What a boondoggle. What a crock and you just know........ some war profiteers are making out like bandits. Probably helps out someone's bottom line making ISIS stronger. I hate it.

Handing out guns to people you do know CAN BE AS EQUALLY AS DANGEROUS. You can't read minds or the future. This has blowback written on it for the next twenty years.

If you don't know how to use it they will take you to Saudi Arabia to teach you how.

I've seen a couple of incidents now where the military missed their drop zone and ISIS got to the drop points before anyone else could.

USAF has GPS guided parachutes that if used would solve this problem.

Never thought of parachute drops as being perfect. Lot of
supplies in Burma, Battle of the Bulge, and around the world in WW2 floated to
the enemy USAF may not want to utilize their GPS guides to fall into ISIS
hands potentially. If we do not have butts on the ground, who is deciding where
to drop these anyway.

Guns dont pull the trigger, knifes dont cut by themselves.

We should drop weapons that will explode when fired to them.
