Obama's Iraq Disaster Rolls On: ISIS Jihadists Capture 52 American-Made Artillery Weapons That Cost $500,000 Each

Things in Iraq are going to get a lot worse.

(BI) ISIS militants may be in a position to pummel other cities in Iraqi army control after capturing American-made weapons the group seized from the Iraqi military, Mitchell Prothero reports for McClatchy DC.

During ISIS's blitz across northern and central Iraq last month, the group captured upwards of 52 155mm M198 howitzers.
