The US Department of Defense “Pentagon” accused the Iraqi army of leaving behind large quantities of weapons and ammunition when it pulled out of the city of Ramadi on Sunday. The weapons, which have been seized by ISIS, include tanks, armored vehicles and heavy guns.
After the fall of the city of Mosul at the hands of ISIS last June, the latter have seized massive amounts of American weapons and sophisticated gear left by the Iraqi army. After this date ISIS became stronger; it doubled its strength and its fighters became roaming by “Humvee” vehicles and American tanks and they sent a large portion of these weapons to ISIS elements in Syria as well.
What happened in Mosul is repeated now in Ramadi, according to the US Department of Defense. The Pentagon published a statement in which it accused the Iraqi army that it left behind, during its withdrawal from Ramadi, six tanks mostly usable, and a similar number of heavy guns, along with dozens of personnel carriers, and nearly 100 “Humvee” armored vehicles, in addition to unknown quantities of medium and heavy ammunition.

Vietnam Part II.
Although at least the ARVNS put up a good fight for a few years before they folded.
Where were our drones?
JV team marches on...Freegards LEX
Yet Obama bears responsibility for none of this. According to the MSM.
Don’t they have those little set delayed timer go kabooom devices they could have left behind??
What would stop ISIS from using that equipment to invade and conquer Saudi Arabia? Who would stop them?
ISIS now stronger than they have ever been. Watch them retake Haditha dam next
I can’t for the life of me figure out why we do not immediately send in air strikes to destroy all the equipment left behind. It’s warfare 101.
Just as planned.
Obama is not interested in defeating ISIS. He puts on a show as ISIS rolls up territory.
The USAF and naval air and missile assets could decimate ISIS in a week. It is not happening because Obama doesn't want that to happen. Simple.
What about airstrikes on said equipment?
Beware da Corporate Celebrity Big Gubamint Media Complex, Amigo.

How’s my Spanish?
ISIS may slit my throat later down the road if I can habla and fake day laborer I.. hope. Ya never know. Seeing as how Mejico is a mighty convenient place to infiltrate.. At least Canada only lets the Chinese in mostly illegally..
Honestly, the Fijian Coast Guard could destroy ISIS in a month. Militarily they are a complete and total joke.
Another success for the stupidest man in Presidential history.
We sent arms from Libya to ISIS in Syria. We funded ISIS in Syria. Obama wants Assad out (he doesn't like secular leaders). Obama pulled us out of Iraq just as Democracy was taking root.
And you don't understand why we're letting ISIS take captured weapons?
And A-10s!
Well isn’t that special.
On Capitol Hill or out soliciting campaign donations.
“What would stop ISIS from using that equipment to invade and conquer Saudi Arabia? Who would stop them?”
Hell, the Saudi’s can’t even stop the houthi’s. There is video all over the interweb today of the Houthi’s attacking and taking a Saudi Border post.
