At least we now know what the US is doing with the billions of rounds they’ve been buying for the last couple of years.

Nope. Wrong caliber.

Any guesses on the identity of the keyword coward who spams this stuff in many threads supportive of Russia's actions in Syria?

"(NSA manipulating Military Intelligence to paint ISIS as FSA)

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/sep/10/james-clapper-pentagon-military-official
"

There's nothing about the FSA or that issue in the piece.

The piece from the radical socialist Daily Beast was also hysterical and beside the point. In my opinion, the various factions are doing a collective fine job in Syria. They should do the same in Iran.

You and I PAID for munitions that are just going to be blown up in upcoming Russian air strikes. Throwing money down the drain all because of one man’s pride... (And that main ain’t Putin as Russia has a tangible national interest by reason of their sole Mediterranean port at Tartus...)

50 metric tonnes of ammo is 4000 standard US issued ammo boxes like you buy everywhere full of 1000 rounds of 5.56 ammo

Not an enormous amount....for armies that don’t aim much but just spray

Just another one of those ‘unintended consequences’ of being the ‘world’s policeman’ (TM), nation builder, hearts-n-minds, blah blah blah...

Though, I can’t recall if the GOP hawks were as gung-ho when Clinton did the same in the Eastern block conflicts? ‘War’ from 30k feet and all.

The White House arms Al Queda and tries to disarm Americans.

The US now arms al Qaeda, upon whom
it should DROP the 50 tons of munitions.

Did everyone forget 911, or does the
White Mosque and the submissive, complicit GOP,
just not care?


If the rebels are defeated in Syria, the biggest beneficiary is Iran. Has everyone forgotten the humiliation of the 444 day Hostage Crisis, when the mullahs held over 50 Americans hostage in their own embassy. Iran has never suffered any kind of payback or “karma” for that yet, and it’s been almost 35 years.
