But there was little doubt that the U.S. aerial assault that tore through 116 ISIS oil tankers parked near an Iraqi border crossing

While there are satellite pictures (taken by Russia) of caravans of oil tankers that go on for miles and miles.... the US bombed 116 tankers that were PARKED... because they were broken down.

Shades of Vietnam. It’s “graduated escalation” all over again. The idiots in this administration think they’re so smart and original.

US taking the gloves off

LOL, for now. Once the media avert their eyes, they will be put back on.

Basic warfare training: an army that can’t eat or move is DEAD!

Bomb the supply lines, the supply depots, the manufacturers, hell, anyone remotely associated with the enemy, until they no longer like the taste of war! PERIOD!

Ground troops are then used to mop up the few stupid resistance fighters and then you squeeze the balls of the entire country until they give an unconditional surrender!

Just like Japan and Germany, you give back a little control at a time, ensuring that they do not fall back into their old deadly ways!

And contrary to popular media myths, that is NOT nation building, that is a just and proper defensive stance!!

The countries in the Middle East neighborhood need to solve their own problems for a change. I don’t one more American killed or a dime spent on the Middle East. Too many strange entangled relationships over there that allow the USA to be played like a flute.

Iran hates ISIS. Saudis claim they hate ISIS. Turn them both loose on ISIS. Most of ISIS came from the Baathist’s that Bremmer and Bush purposely disenfranchised from the Iraqi military and set loose in the foolish Iraq War to “give them freedom” endeavor.

Most of all the Syrian refugees need to be given protection in their Middle East backyard, not Europe and USA.

The USA and European legacy citizens are being purposely set up by the globalist elites who push this multiculturalism so as to justify loss of privacy, rights and freedoms in the name of security.

Interesting. News like this would have made the price of oil go up in the past. However, since that does not suit the purpose of those manipulating them markets right now, oil doesn’t move. Pretty wow, no?

Yah, that’s it, destroy the oil infrastructure, never mind targeting the middlemen, the shippers, the buyers, the Milo Minderbinders who make hay out of any disaster.
