(Conservative Post ) U.S. military pilots who have returned from the fight against the Islamic state in Iraq are confirming that they were blocked from dropping 75 percent of their ordnance on terror targets because they could not get clearance to launch a strike, according to a leading member of Congress.
Strikes against the Islamic state (also known as ISIS or ISIL) targets are often blocked due to an Obama administration policy to prevent civilian deaths and collateral damage, according to Rep. Ed Royce (R., Calif.), chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The policy is being blamed for allowing Islamic state militants to gain strength across Iraq and continue waging terrorist strikes throughout the region and beyond, according to Royce and former military leaders who spoke Wednesday about flaws in the U.S. campaign to combat the Islamic State.
“You went 12 full months while ISIS was on the march without the U.S. using that air power and now as the pilots come back to talk to us they say three-quarters of our ordnance we can’t drop, we can’t get clearance even when we have a clear target in front of us,†Royce said. “I don’t understand this strategy at all because this is what has allowed ISIS the advantage and ability to recruit.â€

Is treason an impeachable offense?
The catch and release policies of Obama and his brethren has to be stopped.
By letting them go, they’ll just get new trucks and it’s business as usual. Their cost base on the oil was nothing, just stolen like everything else islam, right down to the beard.
Yes. Get the ball rolling.
When is the last time an American was executed for treason?
Is it morally wrong to hope I get to see certain treasonous Americans up against a wall in front of a firing squad in my life time?
It use to be.
Yep just as I thought a long time ago about this.
And this was FOX news reports.
I almost broke out the Stradivarius that I keep in that little floss tin I got from the dentist
Well we’ve seen what happens when it isn’t prosecuted. Today our media is allowed to break election laws which the FEC completely ignores, they can just make stuff up and attribute it to a POTUS candidate, make up fake quotes, call a POTUS candidate “Racist” and “Hitler” 9,000 times a day while giving a break to a pathological liar and crook. Incite riots which causes millions of dollars in damages and destroys entire neighborhoods, give comfort and aid to enemies of this country, flame race relations. And then we get to the reps of the Democratic party.. ISIS only wishes they could do the kind of damage to the US that the treasonists in this country do on a daily basis.
Obama didn't seem to mind collateral damage in Pakistan drone attacks or the Doctors without Borders Hospital (and many more). I guess he was pretty much forced to call for an investigation in the hospital attack.
How many minutes did he give them to evacuate?
Today I think it was Rush, not sure if it was some other commentator on talk radio, who reported the 45-minute warning on the oil trucks and that we are doing the bidding of Iran.
This Obama’s war on ISIS compared to Putin's war on ISIS. This just goes to show Obama is a Muslim sympathizer.
Charles the First didn't think so, and it took an Oliver Cromwell to get rid of him...
You have to wonder if Barack the 1st would wear an extra shirt so the crowd wouldn't mistake the cold for fear...
Jeeze, now that is an exciting headline!!
;^)
It’s obviously treason on Obama’s part, Dems & GOPe. Can we get them all? Of course it probably comes down to the whole “cut off the head of the snake” thing so impeachment of Obama might work.
FIGHTER PILOTS BLAST OBAMA:
(if only)
Say, wasn’t it not long ago that the media and WH declared that use of words like TARGET, BLAST,etc. were not allowed to be used in headlines ??
The very sad fact is that the Regime wouldn't admit to collateral damage if the media didn't report it. The only reason the media reports it is because some Islamic terrorist organization told them there was collateral damage killing women and children. And they would claim it happened even if the only thing destroyed was an ant hill.
If Obama had waged WWII we would be speaking German and/or Japanese.
