This could potentially be a gigantic mistake, because this is how we got in trouble in Afghanistan years back. They were fighting the Soviets, and we hated the Soviets at the time, so we gave the Afghani's some stinger missiles and launchers and other arms. They gave it to the Soviets real good, kicked them back, then we ended our support. This caused fringe some Islamic elements to be able to take over in some areas, and voila, we lost a couple thousand soldiers there over the past ten years trying to straighten that mess out.
For a much better explanation, watch the movie "Charlie Wilson's War" with Tom Hanks.

I hate the word "insurgents" when used to describe the locals who are trying to drive out Westerners who are there to Spread Democracy & Steal Oil. 'Insurgents' sounds like they are 'surging-in' from somewhere else, coming in here bringing their ways...
