It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Some type of tube-launched anti-tank weapon, it looks like.

Isis got a LOT of American stuff that we left the Iraqis when they ran away in the initial confrontation.
Other stuff has been sold and resold through the underground blackmarkets who knows how they got it, and that includes Soviet, NATO, Southeast Asian and American stuff.

That was my first thought.  It was screaming sagger at me.  Must have pulled it off the top of a BMP or something.  Definitely Russian anyway.

Obviously that is one of these M855 armor piercing cop and baby killer bullets the ATF is trying so hard to ban to protect the children.

I have heard some say the reason a bunch of CIA people were in Benghazi was Obama Admin supplying weapons to Muslim Brotherhood.

Early model AT-3 (9M14).  Early because it doesn't have the standoff probe of its successors.

Yep, mine to.  I was ready to initiate a Sagger dance when I first saw the photo.   It may be a more recent version, but it's definitely Ruskie.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Definitely an AK 47 assault rifle*.


What?  that's what the journalist's field handbook-guide-thingy to weapons identification said it was!

But it can't be evil because it isn't black, it doesn't have that thingy that goes up in the back, nor a bayonet lug.

Also, Iraq has been a proscribed country under ITAR since September 13, 1990. No US company can ship them weapons, provide defense services or transfer advanced technology. They're also restricted under EAR, so even shipping them a MacBook could get you in legal hot water.
http://www.pmddtc.state.gov/embargoed_countries/
http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/forms-documents/doc_view/14-commerce-country-chart

In addition, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (formerly al-Qa'ida in Iraq) has been a designated terrorist group by the State Department since 12/17/2004.
http://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/other/des/123085.htm

In addition, they are subject to OFAC sanctions as Special Designated Nationals (SDN) for being a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Foreign Sanctions Evaders, Anti-terrorism​ (SDGT).
https://sdnsearch.ofac.treas.gov/Details.aspx?id=1630

So anyone other than the US government transferring weapons to Iraq in general, and ISIS in particular, would be breaking a minimum of three sets of laws. And no bank would take their money, so you'd be selling the weapons for free. And trust me, banks are more than happy to seize assets on behalf of OFAC. It usually just sits on their books until they're removed from the OFAC lists, which can be "never".
