Yep, and what should have been with ISIS’s slow march to Baghdad.

Bomb the whole convoy and stop pussyfooting around.

...the fighters showing apparent signs of frustration at being pinned down as they attacked each other.


That’s interesting.

OK good.

But 0bama called them the JV, while they were in convoys in Iraq by the hundreds, perfect sitting ducks.... He’s probably weeping in the corner for his buds now.

Using women and children as human shields. Says a lot right there.

A moral and responsible commander would incinerate them where they sit.

What do you do when you’re stranded?

They already use their hand, so that wouldn’t prove anything.

Maybe we should have B52s carpet-bomb just close enough to the convoy to let them see/feel/hear the True Might of the USA, and then demand that they surrender. Scare the living crap out of ‘em. Of course, it might be a bit impractical if we don’t have a way to take and process them as prisoners there. Not to mention, the Leftards would start filing lawsuits and diplomatic missions on behalf of ISIS....

NOT that I want us to take ANY prisoners from ISIS, but we don’t seem willing to take out this convoy given the “human shields” they brought with them.

The women and children may all be dead of thirst by now. The males will keep all the food and water for themselves.

Scare the living crap out of ‘em....You NEVER scare the crap out of the enemy. You massacre them.

11 buses. Three A-10s’ Gau 8’s should be more than enough to take care of that problem (opportunity).
