For years, the US was wondering what it was going to do with many thousands of war vehicles it shipped to Afghanistan when the drawdown left so many of them in surplus. At times they talked about giving them away, or shredding them.
Instead, 3,100 such vehicles have been sent to Kuwait, where the US is massing them for use in the ever-escalating war against ISIS. Officials simply found another war for them.
The bulk of the vehicles are MRAPs, used by ground troops to resist IEDs in travel, and that points to the buildup being done with an eye on an eventual US ground war in Iraq and Syria.
US Transport Command says that the Army has “room” to hold all the gear in Kuwait, and is simply storing it there until they figure out what they have a need for. History suggests they’ll invent needs for it, if nothing immediately springs up.
3000+ vehicles >> 10000+ ground troops
Who the hell is Jason Ditz? and whose side is he/she on?
Jason Ditz is Antiwar.com's news editor. And he's on the side of peace.
Whose side are you on, Bob?
Do you really believe 9/11 had anything to do with the people of Afghanistan? Why are wedding parties being bombed by drones?

Here is another classic comment from a Zionist racist, or a right wing war monger with a severe case of Islam phobia. No knowledge, but big opinions!
So-called "color revolutions" are a tool of the imperialists/colonialists in Washington. They got a bad press through using the CIA to foment coups, so they spun the coup makers off into "civilian operations" known as the National Endowment for Democracy and its cohorts the DNI and IRI who were responsible for the color revolutions. The USG doesn't do color revolutions to spread peace or democracy because they often are against democratically elected governments but because those governments have adopted a line independent of Washington and to maintain its hegemony they must be brought into line if they can't be bought into line.
But what I really came to say it that with ISIS having captured quite a few tanks from the Iraqi army, unless there are main battle tanks in Kuwait as well, the MRAPs are going nowhaere.
don't forget USAID! another spy operation. ISIS has israeli weapons regularly supplied to them. google it. asl yourself why an allah-fearing jihad group would name themselves after a pagan egyptian goddess- ISIS? they would not, it is a tremendous insult. just like al qaeda- it means the toilet- no holy warrior would ever sign on to these names- they are invented and controlled by westerners lock, stock and barrel.
Nobody wants your crappy T-shirts fool.
Nobody gets everything right, and I think most readers are able to think critically. Justin as of late, eschews all things touching 9/11 truth, preferring to take his "libertarian realism" tack. When I read Ditz's postings, I am aware that the info is often from mainstream sources (garbage in garbage out). Is no info, better than tainted, potentially tainted info? Let the readers decide.
btw the link was better than I expected.
It is quite clear that the heading under which Ditz's postings appear is "Breaking News" so of course news will be from mainstream sources and subject to biases in reporting. Nice try at cognitive infiltrating.
Again " thousands of war vehicles" for ISIS – as last time, were ISIS "surprisingly" did take them over from escaping Iraqi military?? 😉

Islamic State — Who rules it?
More to the point, who controls the cash that rules it?
For cash is more then the lubricant that gets things done, it’s the power that sets up kings, takes down kings and in a democracy it determines the number of politicians you will have eating out of your pocket.
For it it was CIA cash that created the Islamic State, then CIA cash now controls it and this war will surely kill off most all of the Muslim freedom fighters in the Middle-East. And as our Empire builders are the most deceitful and killing of all men, if there was anyway they could have pulled it off, surely this is the massive slaughter that is about to explode.
But, be it religion, the Western powers or oil rich dictators that happen to rule the Islamic State, it is their Muslim freedom fighters who are being sucked into darkness and led down a path that can only lead to lifelong slavery. For whenever a confrontation results in physical force, the result is a brainpower battle that only those most intelligent can win. And that is why organization and having the power of numbers is the only that the ruling-class can be overcome in a Revolution.
They cannot WAR PROFITEER without a war. Iraq/Afghan was nearly over so Whadda-ya know !! ISIS “appeared”……….
This, apparently, is a new refinement of the 'no boots on the ground' strategy. Technically, wheels and tracks aren't boots, so……. yeah.
if the governments says it, then the opposite is true. that is the message to be learned from 1984 by george orwell. 'no boots on the ground' means 'invasion immenant'! i will close gitmo means i will never close gitmo. we don't torture folks means we torture everyone.
Three state solution — For a three religion nation
As all of the nations battling against the Islamic State are strong supporters of capitalism, namely a form of government that opposes any form of socialism or the nationalization of natural resources, their desire for a total destruction of the Islamic State was most predictable, as a Muslim government is what socialism is all about.
And as the Islamic State has a record for violence substantially below that of fascist Iraq, a three state solution would be a most perfect resolution, with the Shia, Sunni and Kurd tribes each ruling over the land that they now occupy.
Islamic State are simply paid mercenaries, there is no state to give them even the color of law. this is a surrogate war. syrian refuses to sell oil using dollars, so the OPEC nations must destroy them. they cannot declare war outright, so they hire mercenaries to invade syria and murder entire towns of unarmed citizens. any christians caught by them are beheaded after being raped, or viewing their families rape, and then executed barbarically, and there are plenty of christians in syria. so you are wrong- this is not about religion, or politics, it is about oil competition. israel wants syrias oil: they are already stealing from the golan heights.
Latest interview with Paul Sandhu and V the Guerrilla Economist at 53rd minute:
High Probability of Flase Flag involving ISIL planned in January – February 2015 designed to drag the United States in which will significantly weaken its reputation as a military power.
This is what they are preparing for with fore-knowledge.
the imply that ISIS is the target- in reality the target is either IRAN or the Syrian goverment itself. since ISIS is a creation of the US, Israel, and the Saudis, who all pay their salaries and supply them with fighters, weaponry, vehicles, tech support, intel, and air support. that makes these nations terror supporters! so when are we going to go after the terror supporters: Saudi Arabia, Israel, UAE, and DC?
the following says much about the MSM's creation of the entire ISIS narrative. involves Murdoch's Sun & Sky, Channel 4, & Guardian's sister paper, the Observer. MSM/Military-Industrial-Complex? one and the same really –
Jihadi hunters… or fantasists? They said they risked their lives to battle ISIS in Syria. So why do witnesses insist these UK fighters were miles from action… and only in it for money? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2888715/J…
