#1 Cluster bombs have been banned by some governments while others have not signed on to the ban. Cluster bombs illegal--well not exactly.

#2 How the IS deployed those munitions is not mentioned. Perhaps 155's (towed or Self Propelled) formerly owned by the Iraqis?

#3 Is it Moslems killing Moslems....again ? How naughty. But then, they tend to do a lot of that, for some reason. Can we sell them some more? no? Well do they have enough to do a reasonably good job on ONE ANOTHER anyway?
And they are using them where? In Syria and in Iraq. How naughty. Lot of Moslems living there in those places? Apparently.

We should care?
Why?
Obama went home and left all that stuff behind when he left? Figures. He is that sort of guy apparently. No body calls him a buyout though.

He is President after all ( and the smartest man in the room ) . I heard it on NBC, so it must be true.
