Many Iraqis believe the United States is secretly supporting terror group ISIS, also known as the Islamic State, according to a new report.
Videos purportedly showing U.S. helicopters airdropping weapons to the militants have been circulating across the country, and many citizens say themselves or people they know have seen it happen in person.
“It is not in doubt,” said Mustafa Saadi, who told the Washington Post that his friend saw U.S. helicopters delivering bottled water to Islamic State positions.
Saadi, a commander of a Shiite militia who has been battling the terror group, said that ISIS is “almost finished.”
“They are weak,” he said. “If only America would stop supporting them, we could defeat them in days.”
