An Iraqi official shows US weapons taken from ISIS |
Documents from the US Defense Department leaked through Anonymous via Julian Assange yesterday, show U.S. military aircraft have once again dropped weapons in areas held by the Islamic State.
Iraqi volunteers fighting against IS in the Yathrib and Balad districts in Iraq’s Salahuddin Province reported the air drops as well. Iraq's parliament is voting later today whether Iraq will ask the Russian military to take over US military duties and ask the US to leave.
Iraq claims it is losing the upper hand in the battle to regain territory from the terrorist group due to "Continual US help of the very group we are fighting."
In September an airdrop of weapons were sent Islamic State fighters outside Kobani in Syria.
Also last month, Iraqi intelligence sources said the U.S. is actively supplying ISIS with weapons. “The Iraqi intelligence sources reiterated that the US military
planes have airdropped several aid cargoes for ISIL terrorists to help
them resist the siege laid by the Iraqi army, security and popular
forces,” a report stated.
“What is important is that the US sends these weapons to only those
that cooperate with the Pentagon and this indicates that the US plays a
role in arming the ISIS.”
The UK's MI6 previously
reported in July that ISIS fighters are using “significant quantities” of arms
including M16 assault rifles marked “property of the US government.”
In August, Aaron Klein,
writing for WorldNetDaily, reported that members of ISIS were trained
in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan,
according to informed Jordanian officials.
While the Obama administration does not admit arming and training ISIS terrorists, General Martin E. Dempsey, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
admitted in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee in July that
United States’ Arab "allies" in the Middle East fund ISIS.
General Thomas McInerney told
Fox News in September that the U.S. “helped build ISIS” as a result of
the group obtaining weapons from the Benghazi consulate in Libya which
was attacked by jihadists in September 2012. “We backed I believe in some cases, some of the wrong people and not
in the right part of the Free Syrian Army and that’s a little confusing
to people, so I’ve always maintained… that we were backing the wrong
types,” McInerney said.
The U.S. claims it is arming “moderate” mercenaries in Syria to fight
against ISIS and the al-Assad government in Damascus despite the fact
there are no longer any moderate forces active.
The CIA has shipped weapons to al-Qaeda affiliated groups in Syria since at least 2012 and continues to do so today, a fact revealed by The New York Times.
The shipments included more than 160 military cargo flights by
Jordanian, Saudi and Qatari military cargo planes landing at Esenboga
Airport near Ankara and other Turkish and Jordanian airports. An effort
to arm al-Nusra – now fully merged with ISIS – and other jihadist groups
has been coordinated by American intelligence.
