Sunni radicals with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham(ISIS) have captured as many as 52 U.S.-made M198 howitzers in their march across Iraq in June. "They shouldn't have too much trouble shelling large area targets like a city if they have sufficient ammo," Jeremy Binnie of the British military consultancy HIS Janes toldMcClatchy news service Monday.
In addition to the stolen artillery weapons, ISIL is also in possession of 1,500 armored Humvees, McClatchy reported.

How can it be called "stealing" when we just up and left it all there for the taking? If memory serves me the reason given for leaving all that nice shiny stuff behind in Iraq was, and I quote, "it would cost to much to ship it all back to the states", unquote!
What's that smell?
