The Truck ISIS, the taliban and Boko Haram use

ISIS Toyota Trucks Came From The ‘U.S. State Department’

US Officials Ask How ISIS Got So Many Toyota Trucks

http://abcnews.go.com/International/us-officials-isis-toyota-trucks/story?id=34266539

Now the video of this almost indestructible truck from top gear.

Check out how the crew of BBC television's Top Gear sinks a Hilux pickup truck in a river, smashes it with a wrecking ball, then sets it on fire. And fails to kill it. No wonder fighters are attracted to the Hilux.

is that they sell one truck, the Tundra, to the American consumer and a far nicer truck, the HiLux, to the rest of the world.

"Force enablers" in the form of Toyota trucks.

Makes you wonder why the rest of the American media seems so clueless where ISIS got them.
