The Russian Air Force is taking no prisoners in the eastern Homs countryside and they are certainly not willing to allow ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) to use the roads that lead north towards the Al-Raqqa Governorate.
For two straight days now, the Russian Air Force has relentlessly targeted ISIL’s primary oil transport routes in the deserts of northeastern Homs, striking the aforementioned terrorist group’s positions at the villages of Al-Zara’yah, Wadi Al-Dhakara, Al-Sakhanah, and ‘Arak.
So, Obama never thought of this?
More likely, he rejected the very idea.
Not just likely, he openly rejected the idea over environmental concerns in addition to those of the people driving the vehicles as “innocents”.
Go Russia.
We will look the other way if Mecca just happens to be an ISIS site.
Those were the excuses given. I don’t believe they are the real reasons. He’s supporting them.
Putin is the man unlike Obama who is a girl
Correct. I was just making a clarifying point on the subject.
Ya, our military has been told to consider impacts to global warming and the environment, in our military operations.
God help us all. Could we have won World War II with some of the absurd constraints we place on our military nowadays??
What was the carbon footprint of the Normandy invasion?
“So, Obama never thought of this?..More likely, he rejected the very idea.”
The problem is that you then cut off the flow of money, which means that the terrorists cannot buy food, which then means that terrorist women and children go hungry, which is then a war crime (i.e., punishing women and children for the actions of a handful of bad men).
...this is EXACTLY how this bunch (i.e., all Democrats) see it, whether they admit it or not.
ISIS/Wahabbi is there a difference? I think not.
wow does it HURT to get a feeling of joy to see numerous Russian jets.
I feel like a shower.
look what Obama has reduced us too.
Yes, he rejected it a few months back because destroying the oil transports of ISIS would cause "environmental damage".
I'm not kidding.
What was the carbon footprint of the Normandy invasion?....
That must have been the start of Globull Warming. /s
The environmental and humanitarian cautions were Obama’s excuses, not his motivation. If a handful of innocent drivers had been blown away, and a few oil trucks blown up, why would that be worse than the result of various US raids and drone strikes?
As I responded to another poster, those are excuses, not reasons. He supports them.
I never thought I’d live long enough to support the Russians.
Strange days.
Ever notice how small obama’s handds are
