In only a scene from a bad movie, The Pentagon has now stated that the violent ISIS Sunni guerilla insurgency that is destroying Iraq-have captured American made, advanced Stinger Missiles from abandoned U.S. military bases.
President Obama hastily withdrew U.S. forces from Iraq in a move even former UK prime minister Tony Blair is now blasting.
The missiles, most likely captured in overrun abandoned military bases, have the capability to shoot down military aircraft, defeat chaff counter measures, and can easily take down a passenger jetliner.
Maj. Gen. Bob Scales (ret.) tells Fox News it may be as many as 100 Stingers. But it only takes ONE to shoot down a passenger jet.
The President has now notified Congress that he is sending back into Iraq 275 Special Forces. Armed drones are also on the way back to the collapsing country.
But all of this may be mute to put down the massive insurgency, as Fox News Jennifer Griffin reports: Once these guerillas are inside cities, we wont be able to find them (as they hide amongst the population).
The heavily armed guerillas have now been reported to have shot down an Iraqi military helicopter as well.
Was recently arguing with a self-appointed Constitutional law expert who told me my argument was mute. I got the giggles.
King Obamadullah would have done this within the first 24 hours IF (and that's a HUGE 'IF') he were on America's side. Problem is, HE IS AN AGENT OF THE CALIPHATE and casually enjoys golf in California as all of our efforts and lives lost in Iraq goes all for nothing.. King Obamadullah is pissing it all away to his ISIS/Al Qaeda/Iran brothers.
He will study it to be sure it happened then it will be under investigation and he won’t be able to discuss it.
Ok. But the article said they were ours as I recall.
The examples in the article you linked to of where the US did provide Stingers to less trustworthy nations or groups show that doing so is a bad idea. Providing Iraq with Stingers was a really bad idea in my opinion, and calls into question the quality of thinking and planning being done by the current administration.
Not just Dumbo, but the entire democrat party and most of the media. 0 is not alone. Don’t let those b@stards off.
