Why would they travel in a convoy? I’m just curious.

“Video or it didn’t happen.”

Video is as easy to fake as these “News briefs”.

If we have 3rd party confirmation, I will start to take it seriously.

250 is a good exchange rate for the ordnance.

ISIS appears to be a tactical soup sandwich. Looking at photographs of their bunched convoys of vehicles flying their flag makes me wish there were a few A-10’s loitering nearby. You know there are few drones - even one hellfire deployed correctly could cause a lot of casualties.

It was only two vehicles. Is that a convoy?

Omoron would not have allowed this to happen. It is not real or it was an accident and whoever is responsible will be terminated.

I’ll bet CAIR is already calling the rainbow house and complaining about this.

They do all the time!!

There are photos everywhere on the internet of long convoys of these Islamo-fascists.

Most of us posting here who have seen them are flabbergasted that such splendid targeting opportunities are neglected.

Good pic. Not sure how else 250 could pack into 2 vehicles. Was one of the vehicles the ISIS “Bashaar and Baadi 3-ring circus” Volkswagen beetle?
