Blowback: ISIS Got A Powerful Missile The CIA Secretly Bought In Bulgaria
BuzzFeed News ^ | December 14, 2017 | Aram Roston

Posted on 12/15/2017 10:03:18 AM PST by george76

A guided anti-tank missile ended up in the hands of ISIS terrorists less than two months after the US government purchased it in late 2015 — highlighting weaknesses in the oversight and regulation of America’s covert arms programs, according to information published by an arms monitoring group called Conflict Armament Research (CAR).

...

CIA... top secret operation to arm rebels in Syria to fight the forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The missile ended up in the hands of ISIS fighters in Iraq ...

The CIA declined to comment on the Obama-era program to back Syrian rebels, which was canceled by President Trump in July.

...

How did the vast terror group arm its war machine? CAR spent three years tracking ISIS weapons as they were recovered by Iraqi, Syrian, and Kurdish forces — and found that what happened to the missile was no aberration. Indeed, the terror group managed to divert “substantial quantities of anti-armour ammunition” from weapons provided to Syrian opposition forces by the US or Saudi Arabia.

...

the US equips proxy armies in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan with weapons such as AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades made in Russia and Eastern Europe.

...

the CIA’s procurement of 9M111 missiles as part of the deal for three years. In 2014, the CIA issued a contract to obtain 600 such missiles to Kiesler Police Supply... Kiesler is a small Indiana company that frequently contracts with the CIA, according to experts in arms dealing. According to the CAR report, the contract for the missile that ended up in the possession of ISIS was handled by Kiesler.

The Indiana firm acquired those missiles from a Bulgarian company called SAGE Consulting... Bulgaria is a major source of the weapons that the US and other powers use to arm client armies.

Years late to the party, the Enemedia is now finally out with "breaking" and "exclusive" stories detailing how a vast arsenal of weapons were sent to the Sunni Islamic State by Hussein / McCain / the CIA ... since 2013 that fuelled the rapid growth of the Sunni / Salafist Islamic state.

Several pictures of the Songbird meeting with the leaders of the Sunni Islamic State, too.

Not really an weakness, rather a feature as designed by Hussein and pals.

Herbert Marcuse helped manufacture the Cold War with his “analysis” of Soviet economics while simultaneously subverting American culture as the “father of the new left”.

The golden calf gets fattened so it can be eaten. That is what corporate-collectivist-Marxists, and their predecessors - DO.

Got 200 years together?

Did Obama use State Department funding secretly via a black budget scam?

Anyone, who is not familiar with Black Budgets and the Cia might be interested in the link below. Remember this was done during Obama/Brennan’s time and possible Clinton and Madame Kerry were SOS! All four of them wanted to take out Syria’s president and government. Talk about meddling in another countries politics and future.

What a lie.

The Obama administration purposely provided funding, training and weapons to ISIS. It was never an “oversight.” The Obama administration created ISIS. Only after Obama left, did Trump begun to defeat ISIS.

ISIS is finally being defeated. U.S. funding for ISIS was only discontinued by President Trump.

The weapons were diverted?

More accurately, they were willfully supplied by Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama

If they were diverted, one would assume we would have taken steps to retrieve or destroy them. Instead ISIS was protected

Those white Toyota Hilux 4x4 s that those sitting duck columns of ISIS Jihadi drove into invade Iraq were obviously “diverted” American assets and Obama refused to allow the American attack planes and helicopters circling over trying to get authorization to attack the invasion force and end ISIS reign of terror before it had a chance to get started

The “fighter” in the photo was firing the missile in the snow. Since when did anyone fight in the snow in Syria unless it was high up in some mountain.

ISIS wasn’t stupid. They had infiltrators in other groups just like the Communists did in Vietnam.

Nothing new in terms of tactics but an interesting anti-American story anyway.

Obama called ISIS the JV team, because he, Clinton, McCain and the Saudis simply viewed them as a strategic tool.

These people supported them with the goal of overthrowing Assad, poking Putin and Iran in the eye, and giving the Saudis control of pipeline routes in the region.

Obama was indirectly correct - Once the USA stopped funding ISIS, and tried to seriously bomb them (i.e. Trump) ISIS were crushed.

ISIS was an Obama/Saudi creation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arming the jihadis was intentional.

Rubio, McCain, Graham approved.

We don’t know that.

They funneled guns to Mexican cartels, why wouldn’t they funnel guns to the gangs in Chicongo?
Or MS-13 in NY, NJ, MD, VA?

An American helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan by a shoulder launched anti air missile

Fragments of the missile recovered from the helos air intake had markings and a serial number that identified the missile as a current production stinger missile supplied to Qatar by the Hillary Clinton State Dpartment

No. This highlights the constant treasonous behavior of the Obunghole administration.
