This has been exactly what the President warned of and one of the major reasons that he did not want to send arms to the factions fighting in Syria. Organizations and governments in that region are hotbeds of corruption and will sell out their patrons in a minute by selling or giving the arms provided by the US and other countries to combat the Syrian regime to ISIL. In essence, we are arming our enemies. This article points out other ways that US made equipment is falling into the hands of those we have to fight.My point is this. If we must fight then why are we not pursuing back channels to force change on the battlefield? Why must we rely on military action for our foreign policy goals? Why must we continue to drop billions into this rat hole? Now the US armaments manufacturers get to supply both sides. How does that make sense?
