>> ... the US will deliver the first of 36 F-16 fighter jets

>> called a "new chapter" in his country's ability to defend
>> its vast borders with Iran and other neighbors. ....the
>> US earlier in March provided Iraq with some 100 Hellfire
>> missiles as well as assault rifles and other ammunition.
>> Then in April the US sent more arms, providing Iraq with
>> 11 million rounds of ammunition and other supplies.
>>
>> It is unknown how many of these have fallen into Al
>> Qaeda/ISIS hands (we do know that at least one Iraqi Black
>> Hawk chopper was captured during the rush for Mosul). What is

>>
>> ... the Syrian rebels themselves say they are already
>> armed and trained by US in the use of sophisticated
>> weapons and fighting techniques, including, one rebel
>> said, "how to finish off soldiers still alive after an
>> ambush." The interviews are the latest evidence that
>> after more than three years of warfare, the United States
>> has stepped up the provision of lethal aid to the rebels,
>> as PBS notes "it appears the Obama administration is
>> allowing select groups of rebels to receive US-made
>> anti-tank missiles." The commander of the unit also told
>> Ali that their American contacts had asked him to bring
>> 80 to 90 members of his unit to Ankara for training. One
>> of the fighters said they received three weeks of
>> training in how to conduct ambushes, conduct raids and
>> use their weapons. They also said they received new
>> uniforms and boots. "They trained us to ambush regime or
>> enemy vehicles and cut off the road," said the fighter,
>> who is identified only as "Hussein." "They also trained
>> us on how to attack a vehicle, raid it, retrieve
>> information or weapons and munitions, and how to finish
>> off soldiers still alive after an ambush."
>>
>> To summarize: the US was arming and training the same Al
>> Qaeda/ISIS groups of Jihadists, that it concurrently gave
>> Iraq weapons to fight. And since the Iraq army has so far
>> proven utterly incapable of any resistance, it is now up to
>> US drones to "fight" the same "rebels" that the US itself was
>> collaborating with until a month or so ago.
>>
>> The clear winner here? The US military-industrial complex, of
>> course, as well as the banks who lend money to the
>> governments to fight wars provoked by various "developed
>> nation" spy agencies.
>>
>> Collateral damage? Millions of innocent people on the ground
>> in Syria and Iraq, and everywhere else too.
