I am pretty sure Obama abandoning heavy weapons in Iraq with no status of forces agreement was entirely foreseeable that they might fall into the hands of terrorists. What they didn't predict or prevent was Iraqi soldiers literally surrendering their weapons and uniforms and running away and ISIS walking over and picking up the Humvee keys and weapons. Oops.

In case you haven't noticed ISIS drives Ford and Toyota trucks with gun mounts, and armoured personnel carriers made in the USA.

When we leave a country, bring our stuff with us. Turkey is close by.


Obama didn't "abandon" anything. The Iraqi government told him they WOULD prosecute any 'suspicious' behavior on behalf of the US troops. Obama told Iraq he would therefore pull out Us troops since they chose to tie up their hands by NOT granting them full immunity from war crimes. Now the untrained cowards left all the weapons and armor behind running away from ISIS who rose to power. They got what they deserved. The US should have NEVER gotten involved in a civil war. Hussein kept ISIS in check, removing him AND his sons was the biggest mistake ever made in the middle east.
