U.S. Humanitarian Aid Going to ISIS

[Maverick]

Just wondering if someone should tell the feds? *sigh

"Not only are foodstuffs, medical supplies—even clinics—going to ISIS, the distribution networks are paying ISIS ‘taxes’ and putting ISIS people on their payrolls"

Sadly, this happens in all wars, always has, and always will, which is why I am vehemently against any of my tax dollars going to such relief efforts. Any relief should be distributed by the military, and in areas they control. This sends a clear message to those suffering....LEAVE for the areas the military controls!

You don't feed the army of the enemy, and that's what we're really doing here. Same with arming the damn rebels, something Washington seems set on doing. Once they deal with ISIS, those same rebels will then point them our way! Dolts.

As I recall, the whole reason we were in Somalia in 1993 was because the war lords were taking all the relief supplies for themselves. Which led to the Battle of Mogadishu and the Blackhawk Down incident.
