Iraqi Army gets first tanks delivered from the United States Military Industrial Complex

[DailyStaley]

You're welcome, Iraq.

[tyrt100]

Iran should be happy.

[matthew901000]

Shut the fuck off the Iraqi government bought the tank with their money stupid asshole

[vlassakj]

Give them tanks now (or sell) then fight them again in 20 years. Gl

[chrispoole1]

Oh look! sell them some tanks and use them when you go back after the elections.

[Inter3456]

Are you sure you want to give them your tanks ???

[quietman1k]

It is time we abolish the Federal Reserve monopoly stranglehold on our monetary system and allow interest free competing currencies to be introduced into the market place, free of Globalist- Zionist fraud!

[quietman1k]

So this is what are tax dollars are financing, while our government sells military weapons to the Iraqi government our country continues it's inevitable slide into bankruptcy as the majority of American citizens now live in abject poverty or squalor making 10.00 an hour in a dead end job.

[MrStarbucks90]

now they can sell them to china !!!!

[RichKilla86ers]

US used the Abrams in both Iraq Wars. Now the Iraq finally own them.

[sensibuddz]

@RichKilla86ers like they paid for them up front, in blood

[blackei123]

3 months from now a that M1A1 will be in insurgents hands

[Afireman4u]

20 Years from now a M1A1 Abrams will fly into the capital.

[MrSuperpiff4]

@MrPorktoast is on major weed woooooo

[MegaSasoky]

why do buy american modified tanks, ithink we should go for german leopard or russian t101, these tanks are worthless and not the same weapons that american use

[MrPorktoast]

Really? The US havent learnt from their mistakes have they?

[4truthjusticefreedom]

@MrPorktoast Theses Wars were based on lies you brainwashed gullible fool. The ones in control don't give fuck about the people of America or Iraq. Get that through your fucking head. I bet you still believe what they told us about 9/11. Idiots like you are clearly a major problem.

[MrPorktoast]

@4truthjusticefreedom it seems youve spent too long on the internet and by looking at your name you have found a site which some islamic extremist has created to fool people into thinking they are being fooled. My comment was just stating that the americans trained bin laden and he turned on them and now they give the iraqi's tanks. That has nothing to do with your reply so clearly you are just out to argue your ridiculous point.

[4truthjusticefreedom]

@MrPorktoast It is you that has been fooled if you believe anything the corrupted Zionist controlled Gov&Medias told you about 9/11. If Osama was behind 9/11 you never throw EVIDENCE away if you get it. It's all a fucking lie. Our Rights&FREEDOMS are being taken away by our corrupted Gov not by Osama you dumb fuck. This war on Terror is a War against the Constitution & Americans. Even Preppers are listed on this new Terror list so if you store more then 7days food you're a potential Terrorist.

[MrPorktoast]

@4truthjusticefreedom Right, ill have some of what your smoking buddy! I got loads of canned food just incase but i dont see any policemen coming to check how much i have, your just bored. And i still dont understand why you have said all your crazy stuff to me?

[MiGFoxhound31]

Look on the bright side, at least we gave them the Abrams with standard Steel armor an not the Chobam composite armor the ours have :P so if we do gotta fight them again we can handle them lol

[wacher8]

Money well spent.

[MrXXXlaxXXX]

well its good to see that Americans tax money is paying for Iraq's army.

I do like that we r helping them, but 140 tanks, thats ridiculous

hope our alliance stays strong so they dont trun around and use them against us

[stchaltin]

Oh, these will be great to see again in 20 or so years.

[MrPeace4everyone]

downgraded junk. These tanks are nothing more that scrap metal. All sensitive technologies have been removed from them

[TheAnswerIverson3]

@MrPeace4everyone really? :O ..how do you know this ? im from iraq so this interests me

[MrPeace4everyone]

@TheAnswerIverson3 i know because the pentagon revealed the suites of those tanks and they are not the same as the ones operated by the U.S. They have a downgraded fire control system and some don't even have laser rangefinders. I can get into the techno stuff if you want to. But ur country has been invaded and will be under America's control forever like your neighbors.

[lifeovdeath]

@MrPeace4everyone they actually do have eye-safe laser rangefinders. but they are M1A1's and not A2's. they do not have the depleted uranium protective layers features from the A2. I guess the Americans still don't have enough trust to sell top of the line technology. They are probably going to be upgraded in the future after Iraq becomes more stable. Im guessing there getting the A3 upgrade in around 2020. but there still capable of fighting, you make them obselete.

[TheAnswerIverson3]

@lifeovdeath how do you know this ? just wondering.

[TheAnswerIverson3]

@MrPeace4everyone do you have any proof of this? and lol..that doesn't sound too pleasant...

[98alla]

BTW I feel sorry for your country...

[vodka492]

@SUPERIRAQIII LOL so half the country dies while they go at 40km/h to the next city loool.

[privateKALBAS]

Now they know what to do with the old M1A1's.This is why the invaded Iraq, now they can sell them their old war machinnery and make money, taking back some of the costs spent on war. Great job Obama!! 

[069751]

@MsSaif97 i'v lived in United arab emirates once..

[linickerrj10]

This is the truth IRAQ always had the personal strength to stop the army usa china russia most Americans did not dare to war against Iraq in Gulf War because he was pracima of several countries with Iraq because George W Bush knew he would facing a superior enemy and more sanfrente it is true that the country IRAQ world's strongest fuck who does not believe who's good against what i said everyone has your opinion of this is my

[javakris]

@linickerrj10 Well, Iraq was very good, and experienced. Very well prepared and armed. Perhaps they even had some of the best soldiers prior to Desert Storm. But, that is nothing without technology. That dominates every aspect of war. And when it comes to technology and the integration of this technology, you are not going to get any better then the US. Of course, the Americans expected Desert Storm to have 13 000 BluFor casualties. If it were fought a few years before, it may have.

[archiaskcommando]

@WunderDoob: They didn't have the tools to stop a dictatorship before but now they do thanks to america unless you would like a new Saddam to rise up?

[irakees8]

our father land iraq is the only land that haves the abrams tank

[Kurdishsoldier2103]

so the iraqi army only has 2 tanks? This cannot be true, since the Kurdish Peshmerga has over 100 tanks, (which i beleave) but wikipedia are saying that the Peshmerga has over 300.

Peace, no offence.

[ganjacrew1]

Does this mean that the Abraham tank is now obsolete?

[hetsar]

@ganjacrew1 It has been obsolete for years... it's outdated now...

[WunderDoob]

@ganjacrew1

*Abrams

This tank was named in honor of General Creighton Abrams, heavily decorated tank commander of european theater of WW2.

Although it is now over 20 years old design, it is still very resilient to any modern tank guns, and capable of destroying any currently existing armor technology with it's 120mm smoothbore gun firing depleted uranium tipped sabot rounds, all while moving at speeds of 30-40 mph.

In other words: We should NOT have sold these to Iraq...

[linickerrj10]

@WunderDoob IRAQ reflecting a stronger and more cruel god who protects the U.S. because Iraq turned WHAT was great to be the strongest and best-trained Iraqi army the best they've been and always will be U.S. and Iraqi forces on the planet

[VexZeez]

Profits for the military-industrial complex. Or was it free? I believe the US is making a $4 billion arms deal with Iraq.

[AKAMACK10]

History repeats itself, first you created Saddam. Now you are handing this shit over to Iran not Iraq.

[MrXstacey]

How long until the US has to hand these weapons off to other countries due to not being able to pay off their fiscal debts?

[watcher8o]

We pretty much always arm our future enemies.

I love how proud these "dumb, stupid animals" are who are being "used as pawns in foreign policy." Kissinger thanks them, too.

[nagamora]

@watcher8o not after china starts exporting high tech arms in 2015 .arms is the last thing the US produces

[elitex50]

@nagamora What are you serious???????????? tell your comment is a joke right? Americas last thing to produce weapons? close to 700bn$ spend a year on the military complex plus unknown secret defensive spending.. combine the world gdp spending in arms spending and u still would not beat America.

[Paganiproductions]

I wonder how long it will take that those thanks will haunt them
