Title: Unaccounted for in Syria, US Missiles May Ultimately Threaten US Troops

US anti-tank missiles held by myriad insurgents across Middle East.

US government determination to show how pro-rebel they were during the Syrian War by shipping large amounts of anti-tank missiles to various rebel groups could come back to haunt them. That’s because while many of these groups are defeated, few of the weapons are accounted for, and a lot are known to have ended up in the hands of other militant factions.

While problems keeping track of US arms were identified almost immediately,, they were never really corrected. At this point, US anti-tank missiles are now part of the arsenal of militant groups across the Middle East. With the US remaining heavily engaged in the area, it seems only a matter of time before those US missiles are turned against US troops.

From the first CIA efforts to smuggle weapons into Syria for the rebels, those weapons have rarely found their intended target, and many times ended up in the hands of al-Qaeda or ISIS. This was true of early small arms and ammunition, and just as true of later shipments of missiles and other arms.

Such groups have historically had to rely on smuggling decades-old Soviet-era surplus out of places like Libya, but now such groups have ready access to modern, US-made arms. How they will choose to use them remains to be seen, but the track record suggests it won’t be good for the US.

Anyone following this closely will know that the Syrian Arab Army has recovered quite a few of these weapons as they take territory from the head choppers.....

"The government ruling us draws its authority not from the principles of the Declaration of Independence, or even from the delegate powers listed in the U.S. Constitution, but rather from the war to re-conquer the independent South. That conflict, usually referred to by the artfully misleading title “Civil War,” established the fact that the government in Washington is willing to kill Americans in whatever quantity it deems necessary in order to enforce its edicts, and then sanctify the slaughter in the name of some suitably “progressive” social objective.

Gotta keep the pot stirred, one way or another.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

You have to stir the pot so we see what rises to the top. It is the only way to operate.

Most people do not understand the history of the area at all. It is no wonder since it is so very complex. ;)
