The United States is “expediting” shipments of weapons to fight the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in light of recent gains by the terror group.

Vice President Joe Biden told Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-abaci on Friday the U.S. will rush the weapons to Iraq to help them try to hold the city of Ramadi, CNN reported Friday night.

ISIS raised its flag over Ramadi on Friday after capturing the city’s provincial government building and police headquarters, CNN said.

The shipment reportedly includes AT-4 shoulder-held rockets and ammunition.

Just more American weapons the Iraqis will “donate” to ISIS.

This means it is too late.

Seems our president and vice president should be aware of a conflict over there. Unreal.

EXACTLY!
We’re onto Obunga’s treason, but nobody in DC has the stones to CALL it treason. Plus, guys like McLame and other RINOs are egging him on.IMHO.

U.S. ‘expediting’ weapons to Iraq to fight ISIS

Isis is where they will go soon enough and given past precedent I suspect that is the design.

I thought we had Iraq all pacified at one time? What happened?

Oh, right. Obama.

On the good news side, Egypt sentenced Morsi and another 100 Muslim Brotherhood to death.

They'll sell 'em to ISIS. We learned that lesson long ago. Give weapons to those who will use them on people we don't like. Don't give weapons to those who will sell 'em to people we don't like.

The only group in Iraq we should give weapons to are the Kurds. They fight.
