With the Iraqi Military’s piss -poor combat record combined with their pathetic tendency to abandon US Military hardware to the enemy (remember all those Humvees and M113 APC’s ISIS captured from the Iraqi Army and used as VBIED’s, mostly during the battle for Ramadi?) Well, now replace the Humvee with a Fighter Jet, and think of 9/11…basically a flying VBIED…yeah, it could be that bad if they got ahold of these things…even if they did not have the know how to fight with them, all they would really know how to do (like with 9/11) is TAKE-OFF and CRASH it into American or Coalition Targets of opportunity in the Middle East like say an Embassy or ABOT, the Al Basrah Oil Terminal in Iraq.
I think in light of all that evidence, this is a serious question to ponder; I only Hope I am wrong… for all our sakes.
US delivers first F-16 fighters to Iraq
The U.S. on Monday delivered the first lot of F-16 fighter jets to the Iraqi government to be used in the fight against Islamic militants.
Brett McGurk, the administration’s deputy special presidential envoy to the coalition against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), confirmed the deliver on Twitter.
“After years of preparation & training in the U.S., Iraqi pilots today landed the 1st squadron of Iraqi F16s in #Iraq,” he said.
The four jets arrived the Balad air base around midday local time, an Iraqi air force official toldReuters.

They could only fly them into Iraqi,or other middle eastern countries’ buildings-no way they have guys capable of in flight re-fueling,and they don’t have the tanker planes.
They could wreak havoc all over Iraq,Syria,Iran,Saudi Arabia,Yemen,Israel,Egypt,etc.
The first time they try to hit an Israeli building-they go meet their 72 virgins.
Yeah I should have been more clear, American targets in Middle East..like Embassies and oh say something really critical like Al Basrah Oil Terminal in Iraq..oh Israel does not have to worry about ISIS and planes they have to worry about Iran and Nukes…..check this out:
