Blowback: ISIS Got A Powerful Missile The CIA Secretly Bought In Bulgaria
BuzzFeed News ^ | December 14, 2017 | Aram Roston

A guided anti-tank missile ended up in the hands of ISIS terrorists less than two months after the US government purchased it in late 2015 — highlighting weaknesses in the oversight and regulation of America’s covert arms programs, according to information published by an arms monitoring group called Conflict Armament Research (CAR).

...

CIA... top secret operation to arm rebels in Syria to fight the forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The missile ended up in the hands of ISIS fighters in Iraq ...

The CIA declined to comment on the Obama-era program to back Syrian rebels, which was canceled by President Trump in July.

...

How did the vast terror group arm its war machine? CAR spent three years tracking ISIS weapons as they were recovered by Iraqi, Syrian, and Kurdish forces — and found that what happened to the missile was no aberration. Indeed, the terror group managed to divert “substantial quantities of anti-armour ammunition” from weapons provided to Syrian opposition forces by the US or Saudi Arabia.

...

the US equips proxy armies in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan with weapons such as AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades made in Russia and Eastern Europe.

...

the CIA’s procurement of 9M111 missiles as part of the deal for three years. In 2014, the CIA issued a contract to obtain 600 such missiles to Kiesler Police Supply... Kiesler is a small Indiana company that frequently contracts with the CIA, according to experts in arms dealing. According to the CAR report, the contract for the missile that ended up in the possession of ISIS was handled by Kiesler.

The Indiana firm acquired those missiles from a Bulgarian company called SAGE Consulting... Bulgaria is a major source of the weapons that the US and other powers use to arm client armies.

We’ll see how this antichrist spirit Obama fares along with his false prophet against the God of Israel and His Son.

The outcome is already known. Better enjoy that Soros/DNC cash now, Bam-Bam. Or you could surprise all of us and admit your shenanigans and turn away.

Who did that company bribe to get that contact?

Amazing how our people can look the wrong way at real enemies, and we are terrible enemies.

Their guys can commit war crimes against undeclared enemies, and they become heros!

Obama program??

The 9K111 Fagot (Russian: Фагот; "bassoon") is a second-generation tube-launched SACLOS wire-guided anti-tank missile system of the Soviet Union for use from ground or vehicle mounts. The 9K111 Fagot missile system was developed by the Tula KBP Design Bureau for Instrument Building.
