ISIS is bragging that it seized weapons that the U.S. airdropped into Kobani to arm the Kurds.
CENTCOM acknowledged that at least one of 28 bundles of ammunition, small arms, and medical supplies that was dropped on Sunday ended up falling into ISIS-held territory. The U.S. then performed a follow-up airstrike to destroy the bundle.

Pilots have to be ps’d pot of their minds. Once again....intelligence sucks.
On Greta tonight there was a section on the 3 moslem girls from Denver ages 15, 16, 17 who
stayed home sick from school one day,
stole $2000 from their parents
went to the local public library
and bought plane tickets to Germany
and were able to board the planes without parental permission and fly ..
their plan was to join ISIS..
Greta determined that they were allowed to board an international flight without their parents knowledge..
even the 15 year old..
This is the immediate scary thing..
Buy a ticket get on board..
Did they have passports?
yes but no letter etc from Mom and/or Dad to travel without them..
Nah.
the ONLY reason Obola let “us” deliver weapons to the Kurds was because he knew some/all/many of them WOULD GET into ISIS hands:
Bad intel (where the Kurds were waiting for them),
bad intel (where the ISIS were going to be to intercept them),
bad planning (where we were going to be dropping them),
bad covert ops (ISIS flouund out / got leaked to) where we were going to be dropping them),
bad deliberate intel (ISIS told us where to drop them, but we didn’t know the source of the info)
this errant drop could have been immediately targeted and wiped out by orbiting A-10 CAP’s , IF Turkey would allow us to use OUR AIR BASE at Incilrik . All I can say is F Turkey ! and we should be using it anyway . Just let them try and stop us . The pigs should be thrown out of NATO .
OK
Drop stuff from a plane, no guarantee it gets to the right raghead.
Peace Prize be upon him....
Dumbest rules of engagement ever, let’s fly around blindly with no ground intelligence and drop weapons and ammo from a safe altitude and hope it gets to the right people. Great strategic thinking. ISIS should be on the run any time now.
votes have consequences....
Funny that nobody ever says “appointments have consequences”.
Fast & Furious International version 4.0. Fax them our 2nd amendment. Let them manufacture their own to defend against the JV from taking them, while the socialist 2nd-graders come after ours.
if, by accident we ever get our act together in this country we might do something about our enemies rather than talk....That pallet should have a chip on so we’d know EXACTLY where it was. Every military piece of equipment should have the same.....you have captured an American humvee????, better get out of the way because 30 seconds from now it will be scrap metal.
