Oy. And I bet the US will continue to supply the Humvees, too... :-(
ISIS is U.S..
i bet Obama will be shocked to hear about this when he reads it in the paper.
Tragic that the US created Iraq geopolitical humanitarian mess in the first place and current ISIS monsters.
Ironic that ISIS, our CIA creation, would use our US HumVees, to wreck even more havoc in the region after we retreated from Iraq.
What a awful clusterf.
Bush 1 warned that ousting Sadam would create a terrible power vaccumn.
Jefferson warned us to: “avoid foreign entanglements”
We never learn from history.

Shouldn't that be "Most were turned over..."
I wouldn’t think they would be the best vehicle for this purpose because they wouldn’t fragment. A tank would be a poor choice as well.
Prolly blow up real good - lots of nice metal there not so much plastic.
Kerry trade deal idiocy.
All with Obama’s blessing.
The whole thing is fubar isn’t it?
The Humvee is not armored.
The aluminum body reduces weight and provides resistance to corrosion. Aluminum body panels are riveted and bonded together with technologically-advanced adhesives to provide additional strength. The body is designed to flex to accommodate off-road stresses.
This is going well.
Maybe we’ll buy them back so they can transfer a little moola to the Democrat Party.
The main reason they use hummers is that they are a maintenance nightmare, they can’t fix them.
Nonsense
Blow up all the HumVs?
I am betting that ISIS is the military wing of the Bildenberg Group.
I still wouldn't mind getting my hands on one.
The Govt was selling them surplus, but specifying off-road only.
Now I see that you can title them for use on the road.
It Just Got A Lot Easier To Own A Surplus Military Hummer

I was thinking they were up armored to deal with mines.
Really makes you wonder where Uncle Sam has his head buried.
