ISIS VIDEO: AMERICA’S AIR DROPPED WEAPONS NOW IN OUR HANDS
The Daily Beast ^ | Oct. 21,2014 | Josh Rogin

At least one bundle of U.S. weapons airdropped in Syria appears to have fallen into the hands of ISIS, a dangerous misfire in the American mission to speed aid to Kurdish forces making their stand in Kobani.

An ISIS-associated YouTube account posted a new video online Tuesday entitled, “Weapons and munitions dropped by American planes and landed in the areas controlled by the Islamic State in Kobani.” The video was also posted on the Twitter account of “a3maq news,” which acts as an unofficial media arm of ISIS. The outfit has previously posted videos of ISIS fighters firing American made Howitzer cannons and seizing marijuana fields in Syria. “We feel very confident that, when we air drop support as we did into Kobani… we’ve been able to hit the target in terms of reaching the people we want to reach,” Rhodes told CNN. “What I can assure people is that, when we are delivering aid now, we focus it on the people we want to receive that assistance. Those are civilians in need. Those are forces that we’re aligned with in the fight against ISIL [the government’s preferred acronym for ISIS], and we take precautions to make sure that it’s not falling into the wrong hands.”

Rhodes was responding to questions about a Monday report in The Daily Beast that U.S. humanitarian aid was flowing into ISIS controlled areas near Kobani by truck. That aid was mostly food and medical supplies, not the kind of lethal weapons in the new ISIS video.

I agree .

But Obama swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That makes him a traitor.

Even if he was always an enemy of America. Even if the goal of the Obama Administration has always been to weaken and destroy our great country.

The problem is that they are succeeding.

The paid liars in the MSM have convinced many useful idiots to support Obama.

Try this social experiment.

Ask the people you know who are low information voters if they think Obama and the people around him are enemies of America and trying to destroy our country.

The military has already fired on Americans. Multiple times.

I wouldn’t count on the military to save us. This time, it is up to us to save our country. The Founders knew it would have to be the public some day. That’s why the Second Amendment is there. They understood that Freedom will be hunted and destroyed by evil men, and it wasn’t a matter of if, but when. Someday somewhere the government will do something terrible to the American people, and someone will issue the call to arms. Many will come, but many will not out of fear. We can only hope it will be enough, and try to wake others up.
