So the plot thickens. It's likely that ISIS has taken some shoulder-fired missiles known as MANPADS (an acronym for Man Portable Air Defense Systems) from Tabqa, a Syrian airfield, according to the Washington Post. The terrorists attacked the Syrian airbase over the weekend and the Syrians, willing to fight to the death, changed their collective mind and basically gave away these surface-to-air missiles like they gave away American military equipment.
This cannot be a good thing and will likely mean these weapons and others will proliferate across the region if the story is accurate.
But it is difficult to confirm with certainty that the MANPADS were indeed taken. Charles Lister of the Brookings Doha Center has tracked the flow of weapons in the region and tweeted a photo of an ISIS terrorist with what looked like a MANPADS.
Not a lot is known about these weapons but they are quite effective in shooting jets out of the air sending them crashing to earth in a fiery ball as the terrorist yells his "Allahu Akbar!" and thumbs through his Brown-eyed Virgin catalogue, ready to place an order.
Except it really isn't funny.
ISIS was thought to be a Jayvee team by Team Ogolfer. He was wrong and if he only was man enough to ever admit being wrong I might have a modicum of respect for him. But he hasn't and I don't.
General Martin Dempsey said that ISIS is a threat to the USA and that we would need to do more than we are currently doing to destroy them. Today however, he has changed his tune. Now it's best if we wait until they become a real threat to the United States. (I guess we'll know that when they kill a few thousand more Americans on our soil.) I am confident Obama or Valerie Jarrett has spoken to Dempsey telling him to walk it back or they will fire his butt.
Poor president Obama had to cut his vacation short to deal with having to do the job he was elected to do. The really sad part is that I don't think he has a clue on how to do it.
What do you think?
