ISIS is showing off a video of American weapons and humanitarian aide, that was meant for the Kurds, that just so happened to get dropped where ISIS is. I can’t imagine anyone in our military purposely trying to arm ISIS. These American-made weapons were air dropped into territory they control. If Obama himself was flying the plane carrying these weapons, then I could see it being done on purpose. Arming ISIS with American weapons would make Nidal Hassan blush.

At least one bundle of U.S. weapons airdropped in Syria appears to have fallen into the hands of ISIS, a dangerous misfire in the American mission to speed aid to Kurdish forces making their stand in Kobani.
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.” The video was also posted on the Twitter account of “a3maq news,” which acts as an unofficial media arm of ISIS. The outfit has previously posted videos of ISIS fighters firing American made Howitzer cannons and seizing marijuana fields in Syria.
ISIS had broadly advertised its acquisition of a broad range of U.S.-made weapons during its rampage across Iraq. ISIS videos have showed its fighters driving U.S. tanks, MRAPs, Humvees. There are unconfirmed reports ISIS has stolen three fighter planes from Iraqi bases it conquered.
