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.

This so-called war on ISIS on our part is a disgusting kabuki theater. Why even bother if the 3 out of 4 sorties are useless. GO PUTIN!

Money quote:

And the same goes for Russians, he (retired four star general Keane) said, adding, “They don’t care at all about civilians.”

[House Atreides]

Obama and his operatives fear there may be Muslims at the target sites, so the attacks are vetoed.

When we nailed Jihad Johnny in the streets, we left the ISIS HQ on that same street, unscathed.

Sounds like LBJ and McNamara during the Viet Nam war - and we all know how that ended.

Are we to understand that Washington aborts missions that are in the air?

One man's terrorist is another President's potential constituent.

So with ISIS knowing that Obama is absolutely petrified by the possibility of any civilian casualties, what’s to stop ISIS from simply putting a baby crib on the top of every building and vehicle as an instant shield?

Doesn’t even have to be a real baby in there, they can put in a doll, as long as US reconaissance photos show there MIGHT be a real baby there, the attack will be called off.

Immunity from any attack - no wonder ISIS is growing!

The Jihadist-in-Chief continues to give aid and comfort to the enemy, and Congress still does...........................................................nothing.

[Fundamentally Fair]

Is the source the Wash Times or the Free Beacon?

[Fundamentally Fair]

“75 Percent of Islamic State Strikes” and “75 percent of their ordnance” are two different things.

Which is it?

[Yosemitest]

Destroy the MUSLIMS in the Oval OFFICE and we can WIN THIS WAR !

This why the Russians have no rules of engagement concerning widows and 3 year-old Muslims because they realize the women are just pumping out more kids who grow up to be terrorists. When Genghis Khan conquered villages he took some for slaves and killed everyone else because he didn’t want them coming back after his armies at some future time.
