Doesn't anyone remember the "Highway of Death"? That whole convoy should be wiped out. Tough beans if there are women and children. There were women and children at Dresden and Hiroshima too.
Highway of Death, Kuwait:
Remember, Russia accused us of helping ISIS, now they are.
Were we going to wipe out the ISIS convoy in Syria? Or are we going to wipe it out in Iraq?
Who knows what’s going on. I don’t think you can trust the news media on these matters. We need to learn a lot more about this, first.
They do not want their Baath party members smoked?
Hopefully we are handing it over to the Russians to do what needs to be done.
...Since the convoy departed, U.S. drones have picked off ISIS fighters when they left the convoy to relieve themselves, according to U.S. officials...
Bwahh. I want to see that gun footage.
Where ever the convey is, it sounds like a target rich environment!
Can there be some negotiations going on related to the UN North Korea votes coming up?

Highway of Death, Kuwait:
Still playing shell games with Saddam’s WMDs?
What the fuhk?
The ISIS militants were headed to the last ISIS stronghold on the Syria/Iraq border. This area is under siege by the US-backed coalition (mainly Kurd fighters) but the Assad government would also like to get control of it. The strategy behind the Assad/Hezbollah agreement to allow the ISIS militants safe passage back to this area was to reinforce the ISIS fighters there against the US coalition, to enable ISIS to hold out until the Syrian government’s forces and allies could finish cleaning up what they are doing right now and then proceed to take on the ISIS-controlled areas on the Syria-Iraq border. Syria doesn’t want the Kurds to get control of it.
Why the US would back down on preventing the ISIS fighters from moving to reinforce their last stronghold is a mystery.
Still true today.
We should have sent in an A10 or a Cobra gunship to do what they do best.
Bad idea.
Getting rid of witnesses before they destroy the convoy?????
Trump should get a hold of this.
The final U.S. answer to the Russians should be forcing the ISIS convoy to head back to where they came from; leaving it as it should be, for Syria to deal with, not export to Iraq.
Petting poisonous snakes will not work out well
