#1 Video is from an Iraqi Army airdrop in Anbar that was intercepted by ISIS. False ISIS propaganda.

#2 I was thinking the same thing EH2664; wuz going to ask if anyone could identify any background features or clues from the video.

American grenades or equipment does not necessarily mean USA.

#3 Looks like door number 1 was missing fuses.

Hard to believe that a drop would be missed by so much that there are no sounds of fighting in the background, and pretty casual walking about in an air strike zone. Don't know about the terrain, but looks a bit flat for the Kobane area. Thoughts?

#4 I heard that one air drop landed in IS controlled territory but it was bombed to prevent it from failing into enemy hands.

MK-82 GP bomb disguised as a 463L pallet of MRE's. Yea, go ahead and rip that cargo netting right on off, no problem. Bring lots of blokes to help, these MRE's are hefty.

#7 It was the last pallet off the ramp. We knew we were a little long on the 'green light.' Hey, stuff happens right ?

#8 Maybe we should ship them some defective weapons, grenades with very short delay fuses, explosive ammo, etc.

#9 I hate it, but we'd better end our rather enjoyable line of suggestions John. We'll soon need classifications markings which could make Fred rather squeamish.

#11 UPDATE: Kurds put out a counter propaganda video, allegedly showing ISIS terrorists attempting to milk a male goat.

#12 Hmmmmm.... the aerial resupply took place on the 19th whilst #10 happened just today. What luck! Hat tip to the planners.

#13 Do Not Let Michelle O see the food our troops get. Kurds in Kobane show the world how to make an MRE supplied by the airdrop look good. Sorry guys. This looks like something only the YPJ (female Kurdish fighters) have the talent to make look that good.

#14 Disturbing reports that ISIS is shelling Kobane with artillery shells filled with chemicals (chemical weapons).

#18 * See also TOPIX > [To.AZ] KURDS ARE LAST LINE OF DEFENCE FOR THE WEST.

VERSUS

* TOPIX > [Daily Star.LB] ABDALLAH AZZAM BRIGADES CALL ON SUNNIS TO FIGHT ARMY [Armed Forces of Lebanon].

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > [WallStreetJournal@WSJ = Twitter] ISLAMIC STATE'S SWAY SPREADS TO LEBANON: MILITANT SUPPORT EVIDENT IN SOME POOR NEIGHBORHOODS.

Personally, I see major parallels in the KURDS = GUAM-WESTPAC-VS-RISING-CHINA [+/Nuclear Islam in East-Asia-Pacific.

As long as the KSA, Turkey, + Rising Iran stay out of most or all of the Anti-ISIS/ISIL fight, + for whatever PCorrect reason, the burden will fall on LESSOR = THIRD-PARTY GROUPS, ETC. to combat the ISIS/ISIL.

Lest we fergit, ...

* TOPIX > [Daily Times.PK] ERDOGAN SEES TURKEY AS A "SUPERPOWER" IN MIDDLE EAST.

Globalist POTUS Obama = Turkey = "US-Style OWG Co-Sperpower"???

["NO TIME FOR SERGEANTS" WILY DASTARDLY USAF GENERAL ASHTON BUSH = "D *** NG IT, THATS RIDICULOUS ... ... WID ALL THESE WITNESSES AROUND!? THE ISIS HASN'T ATTACKED + TAKEN OVER TURKEY YET, + ITS NOT YEAR 2030-2040/2050 YET"!].

The FBI-CIA are still overdosing on Heineken + NightRanger, aren't we???
