U.S. continues to airdrop weapons and aid to ISIS - a group they're allegedly fighting

Presumed ISIS drill practice, notice the uniforms, head cloths and rifles. Suppliers?
As the "convenient" and "accidental" airdrops of weapons and supplies by the US and NATO into the hands of ISIS and al-Qaeda jihadists fighting inside both Syria and Iraq begin to draw more attention throughout largely alternative media outlets, such convenient mistakes are also being questioned by national governments, particularly those who may be in the crosshairs of NATO in the very near future. 

Individuals who have come to question the nature of the allegedly accidental air drops are legion, but one of the more recent and high profile skeptics is the Commander of Iran's Basij Force, Brigadier General Mohammed Reza Naqdi. 

In an address to a group of Basij forces on January 5, Naqdi stated that "The US directly supports the ISIL in Iraq and the US planes drop the needed aids and weapons for ISIL in Iraq ..." In addition, he stated that the US Embassy in Baghdad is the command center for ISIL and other "takfiri" militants. 

Indeed, while the United States military portrays the receipt of weapons and supplies by ISIS as entirely accidental, Naqdi presents the situation as quite the opposite. Contradicting the propaganda and stated aims of the US military, Naqdi stated that the Iraqi forces have managed to retrieve aid that was actually intended for ISIS fighters, not the other way around. 

Naqdi, however, is merely the latest official in the region who has suggested that the U.S. "assault" on ISIS is half-hearted at best. Iraqi Member of Parliament Majid al-Gharawi recently stated that all information available "pointed out that US planes are supplying ISIL organization, not only in Salahuddin province, but also other provinces," according to Iraq TradeLink. 

He also stated that the United States is "not serious in fighting against the ISIL organization, because they have the technological power to determine the presence of ISIL gunmen and destroy them in one month [but have not done so]." 

Gharawi suggested that the "the US is trying to expand the time of the war against the ISIL to get guarantees from the Iraqi government to have its bases in Mosul and Anbar provinces." 

It is important to mention that, according to FARS News, the Iraqi Parliamentary Security and Defense Commission revealed that a US plane did indeed supply ISIS with arms and ammunition in the Salahuddin province in Iraq, yet that revelation has received little to no coverage in the West. 

In late December, 2014, yet another Iraqi lawmaker, Nahlah al-Hababi, questioned the motives and commitment of the US and its anti-ISIL coalition and claimed that the terrorist groups are actually receiving a large amount of aid dropped by unidentified aircraft. 

Hababi is quoted by FARS News Agency as stating "The international coalition is not serious about air strikes on ISIL terrorists and is even seeking to take out the popular Basij (voluntary) forces from the battlefield against the Takfiris so that the problem with ISIL remains unsolved in the near future." 

"Basij" is a term that largely means "volunteer" as in volunteer forces. 

She also was quoted as saying that "The ISIL terrorists are still receiving aids from unidentified fighter jets in Iraq and Syria." 

FARS also quotes Hababi as pointing out that the airstrikes launched by NATO are only launched in areas where Kurdish Peshmerga forces are fighting, while such strikes launched in other areas are "not so precise." The suggestion, of course, is that the "coalition" has a vested interest in supporting the Kurdish forces while, at the same time, supporting ISIS in the process of weakening Syria's Assad, Iraqi nationalism, and presumably, Iranian influence. Clearly, Hababi is not far off from the reality of the situation. 

As FARS writes,
In late December, the US-led coalition dropped aids to the Takfiri militants in an area North of Baghdad.
Field sources in Iraq told al-Manar that the international coalition airplanes dropped aids to the terrorist militants in Balad, an area which lies in Salahuddin province North of Baghdad.
In October, a high-ranking Iranian commander also slammed the US for providing aid supplies to ISIL, adding that the US claims that the weapons were mistakenly airdropped to ISIL were untrue.
"The US and the so-called anti-ISIL coalition claim that they have launched a campaign against this terrorist and criminal group - while supplying them with weapons, food and medicine in Jalawla region (a town in Diyala Governorate, Iraq). This explicitly displays the falsity of the coalition's and the US' claims," Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said.
The US claimed that it had airdropped weapons and medical aid to Kurdish fighters confronting the ISIL in Kobani, near the Turkish border in Northern Syria.
The US Defense Department said that it had airdropped 28 bundles of weapons and supplies, but one of them did not make it into the hands of the Kurdish fighters.
Video footage later showed that some of the weapons that the US airdropped were taken by ISIL militants.
The question of such "convenient accidents" are by no means unique to the Middle Eastern, Iraqi, or Iranian press reports, however. These types of "mistakes" happen on a seemingly regular basis in areas where the United States is allegedly fighting the very terrorist organization it created. 

In October, 2014, "coalition" forces dropped a number of aid supplies and ammunition allegedly intended for the Iraqi people and anti-Isis forces on the ground into territory controlled by ISIS. The "mistake" was confirmed by Iraqi officials and parliamentarians. 

Only in the West, it seems, does the general public look upon the so-called mistakes as anything but a sloppy excuse to re-arm NATO's terrorist mercenaries in order to reinvigorate their proxy war.
