Since June, the U.S. military has been slowly stockpiling massive amounts of its gear coming out of Afghanistan at a depot in Kuwait adjacent to a bustling commercial port, in preparation for ultimately shipping it across the border into Iraq for an allied offensive against the Islamic State group, US News reports. Air Force Maj. Gen. Rowayne Wayne Schatz admitted, "from June to December, weve worked a lot on moving items into Kuwait," including 3,100 vehicles, most of them MRAPs. While the military stands by President Barack Obamas repeated pledge that he will not put U.S. combat forces on the ground, an increasing number of U.S. troops has slowly trickled back into Iraq.

Pretty sure it is “Mine Resistant Armored Personnel” carrier.
Oops, sorry...just Googled it, it is “Mine Resistant Ambush Protected” vehicle. See: http://www.navistardefense.com/navistardefense/vehicles/maxxpromrap/maxxpro_mrap
Stockpiling anything doesn’t amount to a hill of beans when THE ONE in charge isn’t on the same side as you.

Obama will not break this rule. He will use it to further co-opt the gutless "Republican" leadership in Congress.
Want a war, Barry? Fine. Get Congress to declare one. Instead the gutless Boehner McConnell Congress will rubber stamp anything the Mombasa MF wants to do.
If we let them.
Didn’t an armory in Kuwait get emptied of small arms and ammunition not too long ago?
Bull crap. Obola won’t fight muzzies. This is probably being done to give “ISIL” a place to target to get a bunch more free military equipment courtesy of the OUSA.

Reuters story, check the video and the bomb dropped at 6 seconds. Prayers for the poor children, in this case, apparently, the bomb came from Syrian planes. So both sides, sorry to say, create mayhem.
If it wasn’t the way of the Syrian government for over 30 years to bomb and shell willy-nilly, neighborhoods where they think the rebels or their enemies are, the battles of today may not be happening. But I’m no expert.
