Islamic State Benefits From Iraqi Military’s Incompetence — Shows Off Massive War Spoils From Plundering Iraqi Towns


Over the course of the past year, it was reported that Barack Obama’s plan to train the Iraqi Military to take on Islamic terrorism was a gigantic failure. According to previous reports by the Inquisitr, the incompetence of the Iraqi military is so bad, the Secretary of Defense, Ashton Carter, even blasted them. Just to show you how bad the Iraqi military is, on June 28, 2014, they moved into the city of Tikrit to take it back from terrorist country. The next day, not only did they retreat, but nurses were also kidnapped.

Now the incompetence of the Iraqi military has been beneficial for the Islamic State yet again. Reports now show the Islamic terrorist group are gloating their massive war haul from plundering Iraqi villages, especially around Fallujah. From what is shown, it is not good news for Iraq at all.

According to Daily Mail, the images released online by the Islamic State were war spoils following their slaughter of towns which lie near the Iraqi city of Fallujah. The images show a supply of military-grade weaponry and vehicles. There were also multiple images of guns and ammunition scattered across the floor of what seemed to be a warehouse. It is evidently clear the pictures were taken to emphasize the Islamic State’s arsenal, showing the world how much firepower they have at their disposal.

To be fair, the Iraqi military is only as bad as the leadership responsible for them. In a follow-up by The Blaze, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi made a statement that it was probably a mistake to not guard the boarder against the Islamic State more vigilantly.

“Not controlling Syria-Iraq border more closely was an error. Syria is in chaos which made IS [Islamic State] become stronger.”

Despite the fact the Iraqi military is proving to be a complete and utter failure, Barack Obama still has the U.S. over there training and equipping the Iraqi military’s soldiers. Since the training initiated back in 2011, the Iraqi military should be well-trained to take on terrorism just like the American military can. Instead, Iraq is gaining a militia that lacks any backbone while all the supplies the United States is providing them ends up in the hands of the Islamic State.
