France began air strikes on Sunday against the Islamic State in Syria, a stronghold for the militant group. On the same day of the French air strikes, the U.S. military destroyed 116 ISIS fuel trucks Sunday in Abu Kamal, in the Euphrates River basin near the Syrian-Iraq border.
FOX News A military official with knowledge of the strikes said that recently-arrived U.S. Air Force A-10 Warthogs from Incirlik Air Base, in Turkey, carried out the strikes on the fuel farm.
The official said previously the fuel trucks were off limits to U.S. military strike aircraft. When asked if the Paris attacks would bring about a change in the U.S. militaryâs rules of engagement, the official said that the truck drivers were warned first before the bombs fell.
âWe dropped leaflets, warning the drivers to scatter,â said an official who had been briefed on the strike. âNext we strafed the area [with 30mm cannons] before the dropping bombsâ from the warthogs.
World leaders look upon him as a hilarious joke, but the jokes on those who voted for this illegal immigrant. The rest of us just suffer knowing that the 'experiment' of diversity in electing America's first negro as president was a failure so monumental as to perhaps cost us our nation and the rest of our freedom.
It’s more like Bozo shoving us in front of a speeding train.
Obama wearing ring even before marriage.
Obama's ring with Islamic scriptures inscribed proclaiming no god but allah and mohammed is his prophet.
Isn’t there something in the law books about “aiding the enemy”?
We also armed them through our ‘rebels’ and with ‘accidental’ air drops of supplies.
Does this article mean that US pilots risk their lives to bomb targets that are forewarned?
Yeah, I’d warn them, too.
It’d be in Chinese, and taped to the first bomb to be dropped.
Obama refuses to Bomb ISIS because they’re all Civilians
There was a lot of chatter about this practice saving lives. However, it also gave warning to ISIS that bombers were coming, so it risked the lives of those pilots.
Terrible military tactics, especially if your sons and daughters are the pilots.
But they were monitoring the truck stop....at one point were 1000 trucks (why didn't they bomb then...?)
they waited until 250 were there...probably broken down empty ones...
at least the Russians destroyed a good number including drives later in the week.
And folks wonder why so many high ranking commanders were fired let go told to resign
I could not have summed it up any better. Your comment is spot on. What is even more frightening is that I believe the World leaders know who is behind and supporting ISIS.
There clearly is a coalition fighting ISIS now: Russia, China, France, Iran, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, and now the latest to throw their hat in: England. An those are just the one’s admitting openly.
Any see anything wrong with this picture?
I predict the occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will rush his plans and lash out soon - against the American people, as he knows his time is short. As Americans realized our government has been supporting this evil, there will be an uprising, and the government’s challenge will be how to suppress it before it they loose control of the population.
Indeed it does.
I don’t doubt what you’re saying but do you have a link I could share with Obamunists? They must be made to see.
“From The Audacity of Hope: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’ “
Must Be The WInd!!!?
I hope the US military, for one, is “fashionably late”.
This is the same mentality of going after guns instead of the criminals.
Save the trucks and the fuel and kill the bastard driving them.
What a waste of paper. They coulda just text`d the drivers.
