Mosul almost retaken, too bad Reagan armed these ISIS guys to begin with

[JohnnyApplesack]

President Reagan meeting with Afghan Mujahideen leaders in the Oval Office in 1981.

In order to curtail the Soviet Union's influence over Central Asia, Reagan financed, armed, and trained Islamofascist mujahideen in Afghanistan. Along with costing billions of dollars, this policy advanced the career of a mujahidin commander named Osama bin Laden and led to the emergence of the Taliban.

Reagan exacerbated matters by continuing the war after the USSR's retreat, which helped bring about bin Laden's ascendancy in the region. Even worse, Reagan illegally sold weapons to the Iranian government (which had been unfriendly to America since the 1970s) to fund right-wing rebel forces in Nicaragua (leading to the Iran-Contra scandal).

Period.

Doesn't matter. Its pretty stupid to call those guys ISIS to begin with. Especially considering the Afghan mujahideen has fought against ISIS. But this guy is an idiot, so it is expected.

I didn't assist your point, you dummy. The program started under Carter. He authorized 500M dollars and Reagan expanded it.

Yes the American President in 1979 and 1980 was Jimmy Carter.

The CIA started the program under Carter, it was funded with big bucks when Ronnie came along in 1980

so Reagan selling arms to Iran for money to circumvent Congress to buy arms for the Contras ain't no big deal?

you speak with forked tongue

HAHA didn't even notice that

 

[TNHarley]

Your whole thread is a failure. Started under Carter, and that aint ISIS(they fight each other FFS). Reagan wasn't even POTUS in 1980. Stupid fucking Democrat.

 

[Godboy]

So after reading the facts, it turns out that a Democrat president started all this. How embarrassing for Johnnynutsack.

Obama has been the one arming the actual ISIS.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Obama has been the one arming the actual ISIS.

"Obama has been the one arming the actual ISIS."

For the non-ObamaBots and non-TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome)

The Obama Administration was enabling ISIS and also dropping them weapons and leaving weapons and military vehicles behind for them in both Syria and Iraq.

This was an "accident", by "accident" they dropped weapons meant for the Kurds to ISIS.

The Pentagon blamed it on the wind, um, okay

Isis apparently takes control of US weapons airdrop intended for Kurds

· Pentagon admits one of 28 loads missing and blames wind

"The Pentagon admitted on Wednesday that one of the airdrops of weapons intended for Kurds in the besieged Syrian town of Kobani almost certainly ended up in the hands of the Islamic State (Isis) fighters.

The Pentagon blamed the wind for possibly blowing the supplies off course and argued that one cache was not enough to make a significant difference to Isis.

Video footage released by Isis shows what appears to be one of its fighters in desert scrubland with a stack of boxes attached to a parachute. The boxes are opened to show an array of weapons, some rusty, some new. A canister is broken out to reveal a hand grenade. Other equipment appeared to be parts for rocket-propelled grenades.

The Pentagon said the pallet of weapons was one of 28 dropped, not six as previously reported."

Isis apparently takes control of US weapons airdrop intended for Kurds

An "accident" that is repeated is NOT an "accident" it's deliberate. The next time was even better, this was leaving behind weapons and also allowing military hardware including vehicles to fall into the hands of ISIS in Mosul, Iraq.

U.S. Shoots Itself In the Foot By Accidentally Arming ISIS

"One of the earliest major setbacks in the war against ISIS came last June when the U.S.-backed Iraqi army was routed by Islamic militants in the northern Iraq city of Mosul. Government forces retreated from the Islamic jihadists’ assault. They left behind a trove of costly military hardware, including U.S.-made armored Humvees, trucks, rockets, machine guns and even a helicopter.

Last weekend, the new Iraqi prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, gave Iraqi state television the first detailed accounting of those lost weapons. Some were old or barely functioning, but others were in good shape and of great value to the ISIS militants.

According to Reuters, the U.S.-made weaponry that fell into enemy hands including 2,300 Humvee armored vehicles, at least 40 M1A1 main battle tanks, 74,000 machine guns, and as many as 52 M198 howitzer mobile gun systems, plus small arms and ammunition.

Although al-Abadi and other Iraqi and U.S. officials haven’t attached a dollar sign to the lost weaponry and vehicles, a back-of-the-envelope calculation of those losses might look something like this:

• • 2,300 Humvee armored vehicles @ $70,000 per copy. Total: $161 million
  • 40 M1A1 Abram tanks @ $4.3 million per copy. Total: $172 million
  • 52 M198 Howitzer mobile gun systems @ $527,337 per copy. Total: $27.4 million
  • 74,000 Army machine guns @ $4,000 per copy. Total: $296 million

The grand total comes to $656.4 million, but experts say those losses represent just a portion of the many hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of U.S.-supplied military equipment that has fallen into ISIS’s hands and is being used against the U.S. and allied forces on the ground in Iraq and neighboring Syria."
