arming the enemy

MOHAMMED AL DULAIMY: "Well, the weapons—we saw in the previous few days the use of American-made weapons like Hellfire missiles, which can be used with great accuracy. The Iraqi military used it to target Fallujah Hospital, Fallujah Teaching Hospital, that hospital that the United States helped building in Fallujah. It is the same hospital that witnessed the increasing numbers of birth defects that is attributed to the use of different kinds of weapons, chemical and all different kinds of weapons that allegedly was used by the United States troops over there. These weapons are now falling into the hands of ISIS. And we saw images of these weapons being transported across the border to Syria. The United States has always worried that sending weapons to the Syrian more liberal opposition might fall into the hands of Islamists. Well, now they are falling into the hands of Islamists." - link

I think the Middle East has been Death's favorite
vacation spot for decades now. And the party
isn't slowing down.

Just like we armed the Mujahideen to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. It's impossible that anyone did not foresee this outcome. Therefore, we can conclude that this outcome was intended. Gotta keep the wars going somehow. Think of the poor defense contractors!
