ISIS Is Converting 2/3 Of US Humvees Given To Iraq Into Car Bombs

Islamic State militants have not only stolen a majority of the military Humvees provided to the Iraq Security Forces (ISF) by the U.S., they are now re-purposing them into car bombs.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi confirmed that 2,300 are in ISIS hands, more than 2/3 of all Humvees provided to Iraq by the U.S. Most were stolen after the terrorist group captured the Iraqi city of Mosul in June 2014.

While the vehicles were designed as a fast means to carry U.S. personnel and their supplies into battle, it turns out they are even better suited to be used as car bombs, or vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs).

Obola’s fault.

Obama is a genius.

[rdcbn]

Cost to American taxpayer per up armored Humvee is 250,000? dollars so we are looking at about 600 million in humvees given to ISIS

[Lorianne]

And we didn’t even get a thank you note.

Obama is a geneius

He is .

Any other President who basically switched sides and began aiding and working for the enemy would have been impeached and probably executed

huh ? The Iraqi military mimic'd the French and were long gone before ISIS "captured" equipment.

Obama must be thrilled, ya think? And, Congress helped, fumigate the slimes in November.

The stupidity of Hillary!s foreign policy becomes clearer and clearer every day.

.. they are even better suited to be used as car bombs, or vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices ...

What utter nonsense.

In the literally hundreds of VBIED attacks I've viewed on Liveleak almost none have used Humvees. A BMP or armored truck carries way more explosives and is harder to knock out. This story is all lies.

We’ll end up buying them back and some of the money will go to the Democrat Party.

Islamic State Used Captured Humvee in Suicide Bombing

BY: Bill Gertz November 4, 2015 5:00 am

Islamic State terrorists used a modified U.S. Army Humvee to carry out a suicide car bombing in western Iraq last month.

A video posted online Oct. 24 revealed that the Humvee had been fortified with metal plates and packed with explosives as a jihadist suicide bomber drove it into a Shiite militia base, causing a huge explosion.

Good Googling.

Now go find a coupla hundred other examples, so we can move towards the 'two-thirds' mentioned in the story. This story is part lib agitprop, part ISIS propaganda, and all BS.

Why don’t we send over a 1,000 UAV making any military vehicle or Islamic flag waving person or group a target. Put a bounty on each kill shot. Hey, maybe authorize private action?
