"We don't want to completely and utterly destroy these facilities to where they're irreparable," Warren said.

There is something really, really wrong with that statement. Either the spokesman is lying, or he is a fool. Maybe both.

Trump has noted that it would take an efficient company like Exxon just a couple of months to get a destroyed oil field back into production. I believe Trump. So irreparable? Nope.

Exactly. And two random thoughts. You are an armed rabble. Imagine you personally were in that. And an oil facility gets bombed. You are tasked with repairing it “quickly” as Warren says.
You need cranes, valves, parts I cant even imagine, skilled technicians, etc. Supposedly you are under threat of American air attack at any moment.

So basically one thought, what banks and nation states are assisting?

Second. Warren said damaged beyond repair? Like the whole infrastructure of Kuwait? Like Hiroshima? Like Cologne? Like Munich? You damage it all you can. Anything built, can be rebuilt if there is sufficient reason underground to justify it.

I know thinking is bad, ill just listen to Obamas Army explain why bombing oil is bad.

Asked why the U.S. had waited so long to hit fuel trucks, which are highly vulnerable and easily targeted by air, Davis said the U.S.-led coalition has been mindful of civilian casualties and sought to limit damage to Syria’s oil resources to preserve them for future generations.

This is the most telling statement. We have not made a total effort to destroy these facilities. These are rationalizations.

The Russians have no such compunction.
