Easy there big fella. This equipment was turned over to the Iraqi Army before we left the first time. The military plan was to have a cadre of advisers in Iraq to continue training the Iraqi and keep tabs on the equipment. Obama didn’t like that plan, he wanted to score political points by announcing a complete withdrawal before the 2012 elections.
Actions have consequences.

Yeah. I know I overreacted. I still don’t believe in leaving so many weapons that can fall into enemy hands.
The Iraqis should have destroyed the vehicles or had us do it when they were being taken by ISIS.
