Wanna bet it is “mission accomplished” - Weapons and supplies delivered?

Ummmmm. I’m confused. I thought that by supplying the MB backed Syrian rebels, we were giving weapons/aid/equipment to the Islamists.
To: Brad from Tennessee
So we suspended distribution of supplies after they took all the supplies? is that what happened?

It is really sad that people cannot understand the simple concept of giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Yep.
Manpads, stingers and other high tech stuff conveniently omitted. Let’s see how many Israelis get killed using these items made in America and supplied by the Muslim Brotherhood’s man in the White House.

They were SUPPOSED to overrun the warehouse.
Stevens was SUPPOSED to be kidnapped.
Cartels were SUPPOSED to get US machine-guns, which were SULPOSED to be used in grisly, headlines blaming murders.
It is possible even that airliners from the unjust, imperial is USA are SUPPOSED to get shot down.

Last year, the government was sneaking guns to the Mexican drug cartels.
This year, the government is sneaking warehouse keys to islamists or texting them when they’re left unguarded and unlocked.

It didn’t take a genius to predict that this would happen. The pro-western rebels are a committee without ground troops.
