Is to pour more arms into the area, in the hopes that ISIS won't get its hands on all of it. We should pay top dollar for these replacement arms and munitions, naturally, so we can be sure we're getting the highest quality killing doohickeys for use against these bloodthirsty thugs who are so underhanded, they'll even steal other people's weapons!

Seems legit.
