WHEN MOSUL IRAQ FELL INTO THE IS HANDS THE IRAQUE ARMY SHEDDING ITS UNIFORM AND FLEEING LIKE THE THREE LITTLE PIGS ALL THE WAY HOME–IT HAD LOST MUNITIONS AND 2300 HUMVEES LEFT OVER BY THE US MILITARY WHEN THE POTUS BHO BUG OUT CAMPAIGN IN 2010 WHICH IS NOW AIDING THE ENEMY IS

Iraqi security forces lost 2,300 Humvee armoured vehicles when the Islamic State jihadist group overran the northern city of Mosul, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Sunday.

“In the collapse of Mosul, we lost a lot of weapons,” Abadi said in an interview with Iraqiya state TV. “We lost 2,300 Humvees in Mosul alone.”

While the exact price of the vehicles varies depending on how they are armoured and equipped, it is clearly a hugely expensive loss that has boosted IS’ capabilities.

Last year, the State Department approved a possible sale to Iraq of 1,000 Humvees with increased armour, machineguns, grenade launchers, other gear and support that was estimated to cost $579 million.

Clashes began in Mosul, Iraq’s second city, late on June 9, 2014, and Iraqi forces lost it the following day to IS, which spearheaded an offensive that overran much of the country’s Sunni Arab heartland.
