Side Armor Left off Armored Vehicles Given to Muslim Ally Fighting Muslim Enemy
In what a FoxNews.com video caption labels "Admin's strategy to support anti-ISIS coalition falls short", dozens of deliberately defective U.S. mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles (MRAPs) have been shipped to allied Muslim combat units fighting for us in one of the losing No-American-Boots-on-the-Ground campaigns being waged against mounting worldwide enemy Muslim forces by Barry Soetoro. These curiously-vulnerable sitting ducks protect against land mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) detonating underneath them, but not rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attacks from the side. This comes at a point in the Muslim Wars when enemy Muslims have overrun Syrian armories, helping themselves to stockpiled Russian-made RPG 29s capable of slicing through the side of an unprotected MRAP "like it was a sardine can", as one former Army Special Forces vet put it.
Muslim allies believe that the side plates in question were left off because "the U.S. government is concerned their armor plate technology could fall into Iranian hands", the vet added, a point "not disputed by U.S, officials in Washington", according to Fox News - and possibly helping to explain why Russia has been cuddling up with some of these players all of a sudden. Here's the scoop:
