Exclusive Video Shows Battle Before ISIS Captured Ramadi
CNN ^ | May 25, 2015

Posted on 05/25/2015 10:07:19 AM PDT by nuconvert

Ash Carter & the official WH line is that the Iraqis don't have the will to fight. The video doesn't quite agree.

*No air support; *No ammunition

While there may be some who lack the will to fight, others apparently do. SO for the WH to put that 'story' out for the public to believe that it's a general sentiment in Iraq, is deceitful

to use a quote from Zell Miller, “what are they going to use? Spitballs?!”

Yeah, I would run, too. Our resident is treasonous and a liar. We should have provided real air support.

A-10s around the clock with Apache’s and B-52s.

Yep, you’re screwed.

Daily Mail UK seems to have a lot of photos of captured Iraqi Army weapons though.

Obama created ISIS. He has no interest in stopping them. This is his war, his terrorists, every beheading, every rape, every town burned is directly and personally Obama. With this army of berserkers he has declared war on the world. Obama is now, absolutely, the enemy of civilization.

Obama’s Isis allies are well supplied compared to our former allies in Iraq. He created Isis and the vacuum they filled. He's a pathetic little puke.

Sounds as though the ‘higher ups’ fled and left the troops out in the field to fend for themselves

As though more important than the safety of the Iraqi troops, the most important thing is transferring their weaponry to Isis.

Ozark Tom :" Kind of like the reneged support agreement for South Vietnam circa 1975?"

Yeah , kinda like that !
Kinda like refusing Egypt's request for tanks and airpower in 2013-14 because the Mooselimb Buddyhood was rejected by the people.
Kinda like denying Israel munitions because he didn't like Netanyahu's attitude towards his buddyhood, nuclear desireous Iran, and having Chutzpah to verbalize it .
Kinda like sending a destroyer to Yemen, to shadow Iranian supplies offloaded to the ISIS and AQ rebels, and then turned and ran away .
Kinda like "leadership from behind" - which really isn't leadership !

Ozark Tom : "Kind of like the reneged support agreement for South Vietnam circa 1975?"

Yeah , Kinda like that !
Kinda like Kurds asking for heavy arms, and they get sent small arms and ammo while they are under heavy bombardment from heavy munitions.
Kinda like bombing empty buildings at night, when they are unoccupied.
Kinda like ignoring a daisey-chain lineup of ISIS vehicles when we have airpower in the area.
and even more of the same.
I think that rather than being called "leading from behind ", it should be called what it really is - :" Advancing to the rear" !

A more recent example of US perfidy would be the first Gulf War and George Bush's broken promise to aid the Kurd's uprising in the north of Iraq. Believing that lie cost many Kurds their lives.

Not only that, but massive voter fraud that also helped him.
