The armed convoy of 10 armed, Islamic State vehicles near the Iraqi city of Mosul has been destroyed. The convoy reportedly had Islamic State leaders, but it’s not known who or how many had been killed.
U.S. air strikes destroyed a moving, 10-vehicle Islamic State convoy near the Iraqi city of Mosul but U.S. officials said on Saturday it was unclear whether the group's top commander Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was present at the time.

Was he one of those bam bam released from Gitmo?
Now thats a return on the investment.
Oh God, did someone tell Obama while he was on the golf course?
He is going to be mad IF he reads it in the news in the next week.
Bite me moron, and learn about costs before you open the pie hole.
$100,000 JDAMs on used Toyota pick ups again?
I know about costs moron, and I don’t accuse someone of supporting the enemy without some proof. I’ve had friends killed by muslim terrorists so stick it up your hiney.
You got at least two planes for the ground attack, plus air cover. Support troops plus fuel plus the pilots who put their lives on the line.
Just the JDAM tail unit is $20,000 for each bomb, because they almost always use those. So you’re right my $100k estimate was off, it was probably closer to $300,000 in bombs.
Do it right or leave.
And we know that "The Highway of Death" forever will be the standard by which all future convoy attacks on an enemy are measured....
“This is Bob Beckel’s October Surprise, ten mysterious days late.”
Yeah, whatever happened to that October Surprise anyway?
I’d say, it is putting those items to good use, not to mention the training value.
Under our current leadership, it's more likely this most recent one will be....
Was he one of those bam bam released from Gitmo?
++++
I think so. But don’t quote me.
Any dead muslim terrorist is a good start. I just don’t think this approach is doing any good. What happens when one of those pilots goes down and they parade him on TV?
No these are so he can say he’s doing something but they aren’t enough to actually stop ISIS.
According to this story bam bam released him in 2009.
Let us hope that Abu Khalid al-Kanadi, the spoiled little Shitte whelped in Canada, was one of the recipients of those precious ‘gifts’ from Uncle Sam. Hope he enjoys his eternity with ‘allah’, aka satan. Bon voyage tapette!
Hopefully all the other Canadian traitors killing innocents as part of ISIS meet the same fate, hopefully from ‘gift giving’ by the RCAF rather than just the USAF.
No, he was held in Camp Bucca in Iraq. Nobody is certain who released him or when.
Self covered, where's the threat? The package flies whether it has a target or not. No reason for JDAM mod, permissive environment and the aircraft system can target trucks in a convoy. Risk to the pilot is greater returning to the ship. $300k for ordnance means 15 bombs. Doubt it.
I’ve had friends killed by muslim terrorists so stick it up your hiney.
Then quit crying about killing terrorists, with 0bama in office this is as good as it gets.
self covered? yeah you’re the expert
Yeah, where’s the threat? If it was the Navy they were all F/A-18s.
Syria has advanced air defense systems from the Russians.
Syria supports ISIS.
Keep trying
Syria is in Mosul now, try again. Alawite Assad supports Sunni ISIS, yeah sure. Syrian SAMs, still all F/A-18s, not that it matters.
