“Probably 60 to 80 percent of the arms that America shoveled in have gone to al-Qaida and its affiliates,” said Joshua Landis, a Syria expert at the University of Oklahoma.

Good job obama, McCain, & CIA.

[VTenigma]

Obama’s plan worked to a T.

[faithhopecharity]

forseeable
and consistent with his policies all the way back thru his terms of office

and his weapons smuggling from Libya to his Syrian IslamoNazi pals

....
in short,
intended

[Truth29]

Is Obama disappointed the percentage wasn’t higher?

[PGR88]

And the other 20%-40% were sold to others, and the cash given to Al Qaeda.

This is the result of a completely out-of-control, living-in-its-own-bubble government in Washington DC

[Dagnabitt]

Pretty sure that providing 10 cents to AQ is a federal offense. Apparently, however, providing millions in weaponry is not.

al Qaeda? This al Qaeda?

Who sold America out?

Why?

Which side are you on, Obama?

With this CIC, I believe it.

Only question is, was it intentional or through sheer incompetence?

[USMCPOP]

We never learn. Deal with a bunch of corrupt rug merchants and what do we get? All we are doing is reinforcing the notion that we are stupid.

[Jim W N]

Well, can’t say Obama’s too upset about it since that probably exactly what he was hoping would happen. His apparent bungling has a purpose.

[RginTN]

moderate syrian rebels=al queda & IS

bet they’re laughing at obama’s willingness to arm american haters

[Iron Munro]

[Chewbarkah]

And the only answer is Yes.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep.

[Mariner]

that's a pretty high pilferage rate considering they were all destined to AQ.

I guess the other 20-40% ended up with ISIS.

[paintriot]

The other 20-40% of weapons are there for them as well. They’ll get around to using them when the newness wears off the 60-80%.

[semaj]

That was part of the plan.
