Its the Obama lend lease program , in support of establishinhg a world wide caliphate. But lets applaud for a while at least. The skanks are using the howitzers on each other and doing a better job at killing themselves off than we ever could have done.

Thanks for that link, with lots of good info. I don't know much about the capabilities of this weapon: can it be used in an anti-aircraft capacity?

No. The M198 is an indirect fire weapon. It fires 155mm projectiles. It has largely been replaced in US units by the M777.

Allepo is first on the list.
Damascus might take some doing to get within range.
Baghdad?........ probably more trouble than it’s worth for now

It’ll be a miracle from Allah if they don’t blow themselves up trying to figure out how to use it.

Obama has graduated from supplying guns to Drug Cartels across the Mexican border to supplying 155mm filed howitzers to al -Qaeda.

Clown Prince nobama is oooooooh so clever. His foreign policy is paying many, many dividends. Thank goodness he has the-numb-one secretary of state skerry and drunken-degenerate hagel as backups. And, oh, yes, he also has lunch bucket biden (the foreign policy whiz) to back him up. What a dream team! Happy days are here again!!!!!

Soon to be used shelling the Green Zone in Baghdad. The next big battle will be the seige of Baghdad—it will fall by December first. Then comes the real bloodbath. But the Iraqi leadership will be in Europe feasting safe in Paris or Bern.
