| Pentagon: Kurdish Fighters Received Vast Majority Of US Supply Drop |
| 2014-10-22 |
| [Ynet] The Pentagon said on Tuesday the vast majority of military supplies air dropped near the Syrian city of Kobani had reached the Kurdish fighters they were intended to help, despite an online video showing Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... murderous Moslems with a bundle. Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said experts were analyzing the video and trying to determine if the bundle was the one the department reported earlier had fallen into the hands of Islamic State or if it was a second bundle in the group's possession. Pentagon officials said a US airdrop had delivered 28 bundles of military supplies to Syrian Kurdish fighters near Kobani on Sunday and reported that one had fallen into the hands of Islamic State bully boys. The Pentagon later said it had targeted the missing bundle in an air strike and destroyed it. |

| #6 It was noted that even if the video is current and real, only one pallet out of X missed, which is good darts. The goal would be to cast doubt upon the effectiveness of US air support for Kobane. Real or faked, the video is rated at flaculant. |

| #5 Cast ductile iron? What does ductility have to do with the performance of this bomb? Wouldn't this look like a big pineapple grenade made out of hard iron so it shatters into sharp fragments? |

| #3 Maybe the latest and greatest thing Besoeker. Read about the new bomb with the wrough Iron warhead? Supposed to replace them bad cluster boombs. Not sure if the bomb has to be heated before dropped. |
