While we strongly suspect few are truly surprised by this turn of events, it is still yet another embarrassing stamp in the "do nothing stupid" foreign policy passport for President Obama's administration. As The Daily Beast reports, an ISIS-associated YouTube account posted a new video online Tuesday entitled, "Weapons and munitions dropped by American planes and landed in the areas controlled by the Islamic State in Kobani."

While the authenticity of this latest video could not be independently confirmed, there is no doubt that the ISIS fighters in the clip are in possession of a rich bounty of American hand grenades, rounds for small rockets, and other supplies. The White House stated on CNN, "we feel very confident that, when we air drop support as we did into Kobani… we’ve been able to hit the target in terms of reaching the people we want to reach." Perhaps not all of them...

Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kriby confirms the latest embarrassment for the administration:

• KIRBY SAYS WEAPONS IN VIDEO ARE OF TYPE THAT U.S. DROPPED
• KIRBY SAYS KOBANI REMAINS A `MIXED, CONTESTED ENVIRONMENT'
