I would also argue that ISIS has picked up a lot of heavy weapons that were left behind by Iraqi troops including tanks and helicopters and artillary pieces, and seem to have either had or recruited the people needed to operate them.
Its fairly fortunate that Iraq doesn't have chemical weapons in the fight, or long range cruise missiles or air force assets. Because with the way that they're recruiting how hard would it be to find a missile technician, or someone that's trained in the field of pesticides or worse to bolster their cause?
Its something that needs to be thought about, especially if ISIS spreads further into Syria for example who seem to leave all kinds of stuff laying around.
