Observing the Iraqi forces fighting ISIS running away every time they engage ISIS is one thing, but it is entirely another thing for the Iraqis to abandon their American weapons every time they retreat in a panic ("Islamic State seizes part of ancient town of Palmyra in Syria," May 20).
That being the case, why doesn't the United States just cut out the middle man and sell our weapons directly to ISIS? At least that way we could make a few bucks as we observe the consequences of the catastrophic decision to invade Iraq in the first place play out.
