Obama Humiliated Again After Weapons Airdropped For Syrian Rebels End Up In ISIS Hands
While we strongly suspect few are truly surprised by this turn of events, it is still yet another embarrassing stamp in the "do nothing stupid" foreign policy passport for President Obama's administration. As The Daily Beast reports, an ISIS-associated YouTube account posted a new video online Tuesday entitled, "Weapons and munitions dropped by American planes and landed in the areas controlled by the Islamic State in Kobani."
While the authenticity of this latest video could not be independently confirmed, there is no doubt that the ISIS fighters in the clip are in possession of a rich bounty of American hand grenades, rounds for small rockets, and other supplies. The White House stated on CNN, "we feel very confident that, when we air drop support as we did into Kobani… we’ve been able to hit the target in terms of reaching the people we want to reach." Perhaps not all of them...
Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kriby confirms the latest embarrassment for the administration:
- KIRBY SAYS WEAPONS IN VIDEO ARE OF TYPE THAT U.S. DROPPED
- KIRBY SAYS KOBANI REMAINS A `MIXED, CONTESTED ENVIRONMENT'

Fore!
those grenades look real "OLDSCHOOL"...
It was an accident i tells ya!
RIPS
and those pineapples didnt have any fuzes...either..
sumtin' smells...
maybe it's Fast n Furious: ISIS Edition
How about that? The ZOG told the truth for once....
"when we air drop support as we did into Kobani… we’ve been able to hit the target in terms of reaching the people we want to reach."
Like they where supposed to, when the Kurds were under siege they didn't have even water, no supplies air-dropped, when they won, supplies dropped, but you see they end-up in ISIS hands.
Hey, I’m a taxpayer..
Why can’t he drop “a rich bounty of American hand grenades, rounds for small rockets, and other supplies” into my back yard?
....... ummmmmmm........ because you're a taxpayer and by definition an enemy combatant..........
As long as they say "Made in America" we're good.
Obama can't even find his ass with both hands tied behind his back.
If he wants to find his ass just look for Reggie's cock, it's usually nearby
The more absurd reality becomes, the more I rely on ZH to help me make it through the day... Comments are awesome today!
The Syrian Rebels are Al-CIA-Duh who are also I-CIA-SIS, so what's the difference? He's armed both groups which are really the same groups armed, funded, trained, and protected by the CIA and obama.
That wasn't a mistaken air drop...it was a special delivery.
The parachute show in the picture is interesting. It's not a traditional, round cargo chute - it's for a Joint Precision Aerial Drop System (JPADS). Probably a Sherpa Provider by the looks of the guidance unit (the olive-drab box at the bottom of the risers). JPADS uses a high-performance, steerable square (ram air) parachute like sports jumpers use, and the suitcase-sized guidance box does all the steering based on a GPS target. In this case, the cargo was precisely steered to the position of a trusted U.S. ally: ISIS. Yay!
The unpainted wooden crates all seem to be for German hand grenades. The Bundeswher Munitonsaustauschkode (munition exchange code) of GJ90 on the side of the case means it holds a 150 gram (charge) frag grenade. The top half of the black cardboard shipping tube that the head-chopper opens says Granate Hand DM-41 on the first line. DM-41 is the model. The second line says Splitter Comp B. Splitter is German for fragmentation, and Comp B is the explosive charge - about 60% RDX and 40% TNT. The bottom half of the shipping tube has the lot number - LOS FMJ-154 - I think. Snackbar had his monkey paw in the way.
cant we dump a bunch of defective boombooms in there? 1 second fuses and the like.
That is easy to see and avoid / better still would be that only one in six would have a 1 second fuse.
If these were actually intended for the Kurds, how do you know we didn't booby-trap them, Four chan? These are Rojava Kurds - western, Syrian Kurds without oil. They wouldn't join the U.S. efforts to fight Assad and they have been fighting Turkey for years for an independent Kurdistan. In other words, the U.S. government (and Israel) wants these Kurds to die.
If I was a Rojava Kurd, the last person on earth I would trust is the Americans. I would order the supplies burned and ammunition destroyed because I would EXPECT the food to be poisoned or the ammuntion to be booby-trapped.
If ISIS accidentally got some of the booby-trapped Kurd ammunition and blow themselves up, there will be hell to pay. McCain's frikin' head will explode, exposing the reptilian creature inside. Reid will gnaw his own left hand down to the bone and beat himself silly with the stump. Obama will have to leave the golf course half-way through his round. It won't be pretty.
Headline is BS. The weapons were airdropped to and for ISIS to continue their assent into Syria.
So obvious.
Agreed. I'm long the Syrian Index
Bullish!
The headline is total bullshit.
My kids would dig the parachute.

Typical bleeding both sides, first they did airstrikes vs ISIS when it looks like the Kurds will win they drop supplies into ISIS hands, man this USA leadership is a den full of vipers.
Amnesty ZIo-Con Johnny McCain, who's old man sold out the USS Liberty, is right there with Obam and the Demo-Cons in killing innocents for MIC profist.
Handgunades and horse shoes....
Here's how you prevent accident like this from happening in the future. Instructions on the box should state: "Caution: Contents will explode if correct combination is not entered into lock."
Or this: "Dear ISIS, this is a drop for you from the CIA. DO NOT post a YouTube video of this shipment please."
Dumb CIA probably forgot to write it in Arabic and left out the "Allahu Akbar!" post script.
Kobani is a side show. Baghdad is the real prize. The US Embassy in Baghdad will burn by year end. I can't fucking wait.
Sadly, it stands to reason that if the "new", "glorious" democracy of "liberated" Iraq wasn't really down to play ball with the West (ie cozying up to Iran), then something would have to be done about them.
Fill the freaking chests with anthrax and ebola and then drop them into ISIS hands by "mistake". Where are our brilliant fucking leaders?
If we really have any qualms about using those types of weapons, booby trap the lids you idiots!
Then they'd drop them in a real accident on the Free Syrian Army.
Ha! You are correct. My bad.
Here's another approach. Make those grenades detonate immediately when the pin is pulled.
Fast n FuriISIS..cue crISIS actors...
"your'e either with ISIS or with the terrursts"..("...at this point, what difference does it make?")

I saw bottled water [Aqua] in the pallet on its side. Later they opened a box of loose pineapple grenades. I thought they can’t ship or handle grenades rattling around loose in a crate, a good bounce and out comes the pin...
As the camera pulled back, I saw a hole in the bottom of the grenade body—it looked like a practice grenade. And down the line 3 boxes of linked .50’s. Could be a battllefield pick-up?
Further on down they opened another case that had baseball grenades still sealed in their individual tubes, a case of 15 showing. Those I bet were live. Who knows?
Grenade pins have 2 safeties on them plus the pin is split at the end. It cannot just fall out.
In the first box of grenades, the fuses for the grenades are in the small cannister. They've also come across mortar rounds. Good to see they'll be well equipped to maim some people.
This will just the excuse to lay "boots" on the ground. That way the troops can ensure the right "moderate" fundamentalists get the weapons. See how that works?
The administration doesn't want their own citizens to buy weapons with money the citizens have earned but have no problem taking money from these same citizens, buying weapons, and then dropping them pretty much anywhere that isn't US soil. See Mexico, Libya, Egypt, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, ...
But US citizens don't need weapons! They got democracy. They are the government! Saying you need weapons against your government is like saying you need weapong against yourself*!
*we got that, too; it's called the War on Drugs, just in case you ever feel like harming yourself by ingesting the wrong kind of plant, kids; we'll protect you by throwing your ass in a cage where you can have the snot beaten out of you by real criminals. How's that for protection?
Our troops will have a lot of fun tryin to catch those things.
It was all just getting too easy. "This is sooooo boring. Give us a real fight", they said, "Give us an opposition who can challenge us..."
They couldn't find some egg cartons to pack them in, they air drop a pile loose in a box? Well, maybe they were packed by customer (Iraqi Kurds).
Seems like they got to the intended recipients.
My hope is that the weapons are all booby trapped, purposely designed to malfunction or have GPS locators to track them. Otherwise, it is Fast and Furious II screw up.

The title of this article is misleading. It implies Obama is capable of feeling humiliation. He is not. He is never wrong and never errs. Humiliation? That is for the little people.

my neighbor's half-sister makes $71 hourly on the laptop . She has been fired from work for 9 months but last month her paycheck was $17975 just working on the laptop for a few hours. look at this site... www.job-reports.com
As a US Civilian I would be required to file an ATF Destructive Device Transfer tax form and pay $200 for every one of those grenades. The odds of that transfer being approved are precisely zero. Apparently in Iraq, it's fine for my country to literally throw cases of them out of the back of airplanes.

And you think that was an accident? LMAO
This gives them perfect cover for all of the OTHER weapons the CIA has provided them.
At least the fools could have booby trapped some of them and drop them on purpose.
Dust them with Polonium? Problem solved
I know ISIS are deviants but I don't think they give grenades oral.
hey, obama, there are some ISIS rebels in my back yard.. need air drop immediately!! pronto, like yesterday dude..
And the Kurds are still kicking there ass. Personally I think it's ISIS BS.
And you know the Kurds are kicking their ass because...???
For starters Kobani was supposed to fall any day last week and that has not happened and the info coming from the Kurd fighters IN Kobani is more upbeat. Plus ISIS is getting the shit bombed out of it. PLUS I don't see any ISIS videos of them declaring vistory. So your point is?
Humiliation? Are you sure it wasn't done on purpose?
aka "bullseye"
Why would anyone believe that this was "not" intentional????
Who doesn't know that ISIS is CIA and FSA is CIA...
What is the fucking difference...its all the Pipeline Errand Boy Army making the world safer for Big Oil & Gas....
Oh, yeah...its paid for by YOU, Mr. Tax payer...and you also get to pay at the pump, or your favorite gas utility.... :)
Barry not satisfied with being the leader of Alqueda, has moved on to being the grand Mullah of ISIS.
What the hell are we going to do with all these faulty grenades with a 1 second delay?

Unintentional.......yeah, that's the ticket......
Obama humiliated or mission accomplished?
Humiliation???
Gimme a break, this was NO "accident".
I'm not so sure that I would want to use those weapons.
For example, suppose the US decided to "accidentally" drop some grenades with a 0-second time delays into ISIS territory?
Or maybe some combat rations laced with polonium?
not sure we still use the Mk 2 "Pineapple"
These people think we are fucking dumb. The US Army and the CIA is not this fucking dumb. They are playing the sheeple like a tune. Lets see so far they have supplied them with the cash they need (510 mil out of Mosul) enough armor procured from the Iraqi Army and now strategically placed arms reinforcements. Its comical people are buying into this LIE. ITS ALL ABOUT GAS OIL ASSAD PUTIN SA QATAR
Its about much more than that for the neocons.

You may starve, and they may shoot protesters like dogs, but the MIC is gonna get paid, son! And Israel is gonna sell its gas to Europe - and sell Syria and LEbanon and Palestine's gas, too. And if you don't like it, why, that just means you're an anti-Semite.

They were telling the truth. They dropped the weapons for ISIS.
You really don't have to be a tin-foil hat wearer to know this was going to happen. There's no way that even the CIA knows who is a "moderate" and "extremist" in all this. They change sides constantly and intermingle.
The fact that they claimed they were supporting moderate rebels was and still is a complete farce. Waiting to find out this is tied to drugs as well like Iran Contra.
ALL YOU CAN BE BARRY!!! All you... can be...
such a deal!
Next time use the pitching wedge.
Bankers just fueling the war
Obama: I can fix this, I'm brilliant.
Obama: ok I got it. If I airdrop twice as much weapons as last time but to the collect destination, it should level out back to normal and then I'll try again. Sorted
Obama: Pack my putters, I'm going for a game.
These yokels want to ban our guns, while they give away arms to Mexican drug cartels and terrorists around the world.
.....yes but the drug cartels and "terrists" are business partners, whereas we fall into the domestic terrorist category...... ya know on account of our citizenship, expectation of owning what we work for and all that ..... we have become the yankee cong engaged in a fight to liberate our country
We are animals on their farm for slaughter and to be sheared.
Keep watching TV and Hollywood's shit. Your viewership keeps them in control.
I resent you disparaging the good name of yokels..........
Geez, if the Defense Department used UPS or FEDX delivery, this would have never happened!
This is what has devolved into the "shit show" to keep the MIC relevant.
We train them, we set them up, we knock them down. Job security and all that....
Give em a little credit. The military has em on gps no matter who has the weapons
More lies. This is cover for ISIS using recently ISsued US weapons.
He ain't the grand poo bah of muslimism for nada.
we’ve been able to hit the target in terms of reaching the people we want to reach.
EXACTLY
Intentional. Obama is a muslim. Accept it. Then.....man up, gear up and get ready.
ISISis both a proxy [a golem] and an excuse [an Emmanuel Goldstein] - son, people are gonna buy vacation homes on "fighting ISIS" which will studiously avoid targeting Israel, although, I predict, it will not be afraid of targeting the US - which is 100 times as strong.

You got free cigarettes and Obama t shirts, an Ebt card and who knows what else. I am tired of supporting 2 of your kind with my measly wage. Yes, the ratio is that one worker supports 2 welfare recipients. That doesn't include O's rich cronies. Please feel free to go fuck yourself and catch the clap at the same time. Obamacare will take care of you and the illegimate kids you have also on welfare.
Furthermore, I know how difficult it is to change things. However, where the fuck are the criminal banksters? What about giving arms to drug cartels who also are involved in the renewable sector? What about all those renewable failures that cronies got billions for? What about all that legislation passed without anyone reading it. What about all of the rest of it? What about transperancy? What about all the scandal with various agencies? I could go on but does that record make a good leader?
I don't think so and find it very troubling.

Your roof is leaking... Call the PR guy.

He is supporting them.. Hence the reason he calls them ISIL
It's a friggin' CIA resupply to their employees, ISIL. What's the big deal?
WTF????
No background check?
No waiting period?
Ohh What about the Children?
If we can keep these types of weapons off the streets to save just one life !

"Their [banker's] objective isn't to control the conflict, it's to control the debt that the conflict produces.
You see, the real value of a conflict, the true value, is in the debt that it creates.

You find this upsetting, yes ?
But this is the very essence of the banking industry, to make us all, whether we be nations or individuals, slaves to debt."

ISIS, or whatever the msm is calling them from one day to the next, is just what the USSA ordered. Our leaders would like ISIS to grow exponentially so that the USSA and the "coalition of blood spilling"...oops, I meant "the willing," will actually have an excuse for the GWoT. There. Solved that problem.

Pardon me! If that is a representative sample of the munitions/supplies aidropped by the US to aid the defenders in Kobane, the Kurds should be totallt dejected. Hand grenades are weapons for desperate close-in fighting. The first box opened were all empty canisters of a Korean War vintage grenade. It would be most unlikely that the Kurds would be expected to load and arm these canisters for actual use. Furthermore, whoever rigged that parcel, which led off the videoclip, better go back to riggers school. More likely, he never went in the first place.
My guess is that this is a crude ISIS psyops piece.
