The value of those Humvees is nowhere near $1 billion. That’s $460,000 each.

Aren’t Humvees armored and pretty much bomb-proof?

I mean, won’t these digbats blow themselves up INSIDE the humvee, while outside people will be saying: “What was that? Did you hear that?”

This incident is baloney.

What the heck were they doing with 2300 HMMWVs at this place? They didn’t have drivers? It takes one person to drive one.

This is just more Obama Administration baloney.

The Obama Administration traded HMMWVs for captured CIA employees at Benghazi. Now, they are paying the Iraqis to provide a cover story for their defeat at Benghazi.

Free The Benghazi 40!!!

Didn’t have to “capture” them, they were a gift.

So, they couldn’t hop in said vehicle and flee it in if that were the case. Or did they want ISIS to get all the gear they left behind?

ISIS Captured $1B In American Humvees In Iraq, Uses Them In Suicide Bombing

Obama sure is stupid. He is the stupidest Democrat we've ever seen, and believe me, you have to plumb the depths of stupid to be a Democrat.

Just a few days ago Rand Paul raised this very issue of US equipment falling into the hands of ISIS and the neocons vilified him for it:

When the city fell these should have been destroyed by air-strikes - just an Obama gift to his buddies.

This has become a complete propaganda war to demoralize everyone opposing these jerks. If we had REAL leadership, that person would let loose the dogs of war with the U.S. Marines on them and then we would find out how tough they are.

It ain’t theft if they’re abandoned. That just makes the cowardice of the Iraqi troops that much more appalling.

We have given away most lethal war materiel to our desperate enemies, knowingly and deliberately.

Why?

Can't we find somebody to bear the cost?

It's not just Mosul. Take a look at the equipment that was abandoned in Ramadi

Instead of borrowing the money from China to replace them, maybe we should just have the Chinese send us the promissory note and ISIS the money.

"ISIS Captured $1B In American Humvees In Iraq, Uses Them In Suicide Bombing"

Your tax dollars at work, courtesy of comrade dictator obama. I'm surprised he's not offered a "cash-for-clunkers" program so they can upgrade their suicide vehicles. Maybe there's a sliver lining and the vehicles are equipped with takata airbags so the driver won't be momentarily protected when the vehicle explodes.
