The United States is effectively supplying Islamic State with tools of war. Iraqi security forces lost 2,300 Humvee armored vehicles when Islamic State overran the northern city of Mosul. Further losses by default to Islamic State include at least :
40 M1A1 main battle tanks,
74,000 machine guns,
52 M198 howitzer mobile gun systems.
1,000 additional Humvees, along with their armor upgrades, machine guns and grenade launchers.
250 Mine Resistant Armored Personnel carriers (MRAPs) Like in Keene!
plus unaccountable amounts of materiel left behind when American forces departed Iraq in 2011.
The United States is currently in the process of moving to Iraq 175 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks, 55,000 rounds of main tank-gun ammunition, $600 million in howitzers and trucks, $700 million worth of Hellfire missiles and 2,000 AT-4 rockets.
The Hellfires and AT-4’s, anti-tank weapons, are presumably going to be used to help destroy the American armor in the hands of Islamic State. It’s a surreal state of affairs in which American weaponry is being sent into Iraq to destroy American weaponry previously sent into Iraq.

“In Syria we backed … some of the wrong people and not in the right part of the Free Syrian Army. I’ve always maintained … that we were backing the wrong types. Some of those weapons from Benghazi ended up in the hands of ISIS. So we helped build ISIS.” ~~ U.S. Air Force General Tom McInerney For more, go to – http://www.wanttoknow.info/war/isis-islamic-state-origins.shtml
Remember that many in power want perpetual war to keep the profits flowing!
