Iraq Pilots Mistakenly Gave Food, Ammunition to ISIS Militants
NBC NEWS ^ | 09/30/14 | staff

An investigation was underway Tuesday after Iraqi military pilots mistakenly gave food, water and ammunition to enemy ISIS militants instead of their own soldiers, a senior security official and a brigadier told NBC News. The supplies were supposed to help besieged Iraqi army officers and soldiers who had been fighting Islamist extremists for one week in Saglawyah and the village of Al-Sijar in the country’s western province of Anbar.

Agreed.

So why should we be upset about the way they’re treated?

Context. Comparisons with liberals’ own strawman “conservative ‘war on women’” and the way Muslims are proscribed to treat women in the Koran still show hypocrisy of liberals quite starkly since they countenance that treatment. And it’s still up to conservatives to stand up for morality and against moral relativism.

Heard on the Fox News that al-Malaki purged all the high ranking officers that we trained and replaced them with his cronies.

Good job.

Now you know why they run? Why they are not trained?

By the way, please pray for everyone in our own military who are serving us while the man who has the power to order them anywhere spends more time playing golf than spending time being briefed on intel. Probably sends Jarrett or she sends him out to play golf. Snake.
