Amnesty International has produced a detailed report:

Iraq: Taking stock: The arming of Islamic State

https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/md ... 2/2015/en/

The main conclusion of the report is that:

The report concludes that the bulk of the arms and ammunition currently in the possession of IS has been seized from or has leaked out of Iraqi military stocks.

Interesting.

President Vladimir Putin said on Friday Russia supports the opposition Free Syrian Army, providing it with air support, arms and ammunition in joint operations with Syrian troops against Islamist militants.

Good heavens. It’s in Sputnik! That makes it the gospel truth for some people here.

More than 5,000 troops from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) are fighting terrorists together with the Syrian government troops, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday.

"I would like to note especially that the work of our aviation has aided in the unification of forces from the government forces as well as from the Free Syrian Army. Now several of its units of some 5,000 individuals, along with the regular forces, are carrying out offensive actions against terrorists in the provinces of Homs, Hama, Aleppo, and Raqqa," Putin said during a meeting with the Defense Ministry.

He added that Russia was supporting from the air both Free Syrian Army troops and government forces, providing them with weapons, ammunition, and other materials.

Got any salt with that Tim?

I liked how they say thanks to their Air Force the FSA are fighting with the Syrian Military against DAESH. Yes I am completely convinced that bombing them made them join forces with those who bombed them! :lol: :lol:

First victim of war is the truth!

What is happening is that the FSA have been fighting and still are fighting DAESH to this day. Doesn't mean that they are on Assad's side after all those Barrel Bombs on civilian areas.

:? If you can arrange for Cyprus to receive 3.5 billion dollars every year like the Israelis do from the US, and God knows how much more money coming in from other Jew-appeasing states around the world, I’ll show you Cypriot intellect and prowess that’ll knock your socks off!

No that's NOT what you were talking about so don't move the goal posts now!


In fact, for a country that has been the recipient of so much and for so long, they’re doing extremely BAD.
