US blocking shipments of arms to help Kurds fight ISIS


Posted: Jul 2, 2015

If so, why is the United States blocking shipments of heavy armaments to the Kurds? They should be our best friends in the Muslim world and have demonstrated their capacity as excellent fighters with boots on the ground in fighting ISIS. Which, not so incidentally, wants to kill their men and make sex slaves of their women. Con Coughlin of the U.K. Telegraph reports: The United States has blocked attempts by its Middle East allies to fly heavy weapons directly to the Kurds fighting Islamic State jihadists in Iraq, The Telegraph has learnt. Some of America’s closest allies say President Barack Obama and other Western leaders, including David Cameron, are failing to show strategic leadership over the world’s gravest security crisis for decades. They now say they are willing to “go it alone” in supplying heavy weapons to the Kurds, even if means defying the Iraqi authorities and their American backers, who demand all weapons be channelled through Baghdad. High level officials from Gulf and other states have told this newspaper that all attempts to persuade Mr Obama of the need to arm the Kurds directly as part of more vigorous plans to take on Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) have failed. The Senate voted down one attempt by supporters of the Kurdish cause last month. The officials say they are looking at new ways to take the fight to Isil without seeking US approval. I am expecting that Hillary will have nothing to say about this, and in fact won't even be asked. But it is insane, unless Obama's plan is something other than what he claims. ;

Mission is almost complete, we've been gruberized. The report today is - unemployment is 5.3% HA!

What a laugh. David Stockman says it more like 42%!

5.3 does not include millions who have quit looking for jobs and are now on the government dole.

90 million not working!

Cons need to stop picking on senior citizens and students for not working. - sm

"Bloggers and pundits have said that 90 million Americans either aren't working or aren't looking for work. That's a real number, but it includes high schoolers, college students and retirement-age Americans, leaving perhaps 20 million a better approximation. We rate the claim Mostly False."

We've already heard the right-wing drivel and propaganda about PolitiFact so no need to post that total fabrication in response. We're well aware that the GOP hates the fact checkers and will not run their campaigns based on facts! LOL

Nobody cares. They just care about what the govt is going to do for - them and how much money

How nice it must be to live in a little imaginary cocoon, and to go through life thinking that one is physically and financially invincible.
