Former CIA director Michael Morell said last week that the White House has hampered the intelligence community's ability to attack oil fields and oil trucks controlled by ISIS. Morell said that, "we didn't go after oil wells, actually hitting oil wells that ISIS controls, because we didn't want to do environmental damage, and we didn't want to destroy that infrastructure." He went on to say that there was a pretentious feeling in the war room that bombing ISIS oil targets would indeed cause environmental damage.
On November 18th, Colonel Steve Warren said that striking oil trucks owned by ISIS may cause harm to the drivers who may be innocent.
So, this is a decision that we had to make. We have not struck these trucks before. We assessed that these trucks, while although they are being used for operations that support ISIL, the truck drivers, themselves, probably not members of ISIL; they're probably just civilians. So we had to figure out a way around that.

Well, there it is.
This is the Official Moment that America deserves to die.
This country must fold.
Send them some necular bombs and make the entire country into a glass parking lot!
C'mon, everybody knows it's newculer.

This is more b/s than I can deal with. But, Trump and Cruz should have fun with this nonsense.
Twelve of the most DANGEROUS months since WW II lay ahead for the USA.

Good Comment, Art.
Shoot the trucks, kill the drivers, too.
And can’t they get Marines to the spot to guard it, and then do a local clean up. This sounds so wimped out.
The fire will clean up most of the mess, and will keep people out, too. Look at what Saddam’s boys did leaving Kuwait, and this will seem like a very tidy operation.
Trouble is, then Barack Obama would look like a big hypocrite over carbon dioxide. It’s not the smoke but the CO2 that is our fashionable villain du jour.
Ladies don’t fart, they pass gas.
My wife told me so.
And big holes in the ground; that the EPA will declare to be wetlands in the first rain.
For decades now, I have put legal locations of wells in geological reports. Unlike my competitors, I would not put in survey plats, road maps, and topographic map information because I have no desire to help anyone ever reach that wellsite who is not supposed to be there.
IMHO, all that information, which is a matter of public record if in the report, and thus can be downloaded, would only help someone of a terroristic bent, whatever their motivation. The oil companies I have worked for have that information and can release it to contractors working there or others who need it as they see fit.
Understood... the trouble makers would be most likely to care. As it is, Google Earth can show this kind of stuff and Google proudly does it. Trouble is, the world isn’t all kumbaya.
It’s hard to know what the fools will care about today or tomorrow. It’s like they have random gaps in their thought life.
Frankly, it is because of those random gaps in their thought life, I don't care what they 'care about'. "Caring" for them is a vain attempt to be relevant; for some it's a feelgood, for others, a way to get publicity being seen 'doing the right thing du jour, and for others yet, it remains a way to manipulate an ever more stupid populace.
Because they can't comprehend cause-effect relationships, they are irrelevant at best, an impediment at their most ferocious.
It ever will remain to people who have the vision to think ahead and see where today's actions or lack thereof will lead.
The destination for Europe is dismal, short of blood in the streets, and that will get worse, not better, if Europe and Europeans are to survive as cultural units. There will be blood in the streets either way, that of conflict, or the slaughter after conquest. It is unavoidable at this point.
None of the ancestors of those in the ruling classes fought the Muslims in the Crusades--that was done by Catholics, not Anglicans or Lutherans. The spiritual push just isn't there, only a future of dhimmitude unless they prove me wrong.
Those whose ancestors are Orthodox have heard. Those Roman Catholics have heard. Let every ear hear what awaits if they do not fight to retain their homeland.
Conquest, slaughter, rule by murderous half-wits, the taking of their women and rape of them and their children.
Don't think the Muslims aren't in this for survival, too. They want to refresh a gene pool marred by centuries of inbreeding, and they want to use European women for breeding stock.
That's what is at stake.
The U.S. has tactical nukes that could vaporize any crude oil in the area high up into the atmosphere. The oil will be broken down into its basic atoms that are harmless to the environment. However, the radiation is a different matter. That radiation will keep the area off limits to ISIS use for a long time.
Like europe these mthr efer’s are going to get us all killed. This year leading up to this election is going to be a stressful one
First N.A.S.A designated reason for its existance? To further understanding of islam.
Military is little more than a social experiment.
C.I.A.? finding a way to not attack islam.
Most EVERY part of this pathetic worthless federal gub mint has been sullied by this maggot fag.
Only a fag president would pull this shit.Unfriggin believable
Maybe they were just serious about protecting ISIS which is what all this environmental pap does.Everything they do has numerous tentacles.
