ISIS und Co.

[Quintus Fabius]

Allgemein:

Zur Frage wo der IS seine Waffen her hat:

Experts say the fact that the armaments have such disparate sources -- some were even made at a major U.S. munitions plant in Missouri -- provides a cautionary note as Washington prepares to undertake expanded shipments of military supplies, including small arms, to rebel groups in Syria and to a revived Iraqi Army.

Ein weiterer klarer Beleg dass wir keinerlei Waffen außerhalb Europas verbringen sollten. Egal ob alle anderen es falsch machen, dass ist kein Argument dafür es selbst auch noch dazu falsch zu machen.

Exemplifying the shifting nature of ownership on a battlefield, the monitoring group reported that many of the Islamic State weapons and armaments it found and examined were later used by Kurdish forces.

Und Vice Verca wird natürlich ebenso statt finden.

Over the past decade, Washington spent nearly $30 billion training and equipping Iraqi security forces according to Bowen. A sizable chunk of the small arms and other weapons systems it handed over is now unaccounted for, in the wake of IS's seizure of the cities of Mosul, Fallujah, and Tikrit, as well as surrounding territory.

Even at the outset of the U.S. occupation of Iraq, U.S. commanders on the ground kept sparse records of where U.S.-supplied weapons wound up; a 2007 Government Accountability report said that 190,000 weapons could not be located then.
