US agrees to send new arms, artillery to Iraq to fight Al Qaeda

[Origanalist]

The United States has agreed to send new arms to Iraq to thwart Al Qaeda-linked militants currently controlling Fallujah following a request by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, senior defense officials told Fox News.

Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, declined to detail the immediate status of those trainers, but did confirm Maliki’s request, adding that the United States will send “several thousand” M-16 and M-4 rifles, as well as ammunition. The new weapons have been “sourced,” Warren said, and should arrive in Iraq in weeks. The United States is also in discussions with the Iraqis to send officials to Jordan to train Iraqi security forces.

Maliki also requested an additional 100 Hellfire missiles, a second U.S. defense official told Fox News. That request must be approved by Congress, however.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just send the weapons and materials they are going to destroy in Afghanistan over to Iraq?

Oh I forgot, they wouldn't keep the arms manufacturers working if they did that.

I wish a reporter would just ask Obama if it would be cheaper to bomb New York ourselves rather than paying a 3rd party to do it.

I wish a reporter would just ask Obama if it would be cheaper to bomb New York ourselves rather than paying a 3rd party to do it.

But then who would they sell the arms to? Why not just pay off the arms suppliers directly so they don't even have to make the arms in the first place?

They are really trying to get a hellfire in the hands of a person that will use it against us......

Fallujah. Hamburger Hill. Pork Chop Hill.

A place to fight and die over. Time and history move on.

Hamburger Hill , Hill 937, two klicks from the Laotian border in the A Shau,was called by the Montagnard , mountain of the crouching beast . It had no strategic value.

Been the plan all along.

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."
