A joint American soldiers and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) armored convoy came under attack by a suicide bomber this evening in east Syria.
According to reports, a joint US-led coalition and SDF convoy was struck by a SVBIED attack on Hasakeh-Deir al-Zour highway just south of the city of Shaddadi in east Syria.
ISIS claimed the responsibility for the suicide attack saying they managed to kill and injure 8 US coalition fighters including American soldiers, also they added that the attack destroyed a vehicle and damaged couple others.
No comment yet from the US-led coalition regarding the attack.
More details to follow soon…….
It’s harder to spook a flock of chickens than some folks on these “I hate John Bolton” threads.
Homicide Bomber, or Genocide Bomber.
Not Suicide Bomber.

*** I don’t know what you’re inferring. As far as I know the only weapons containing depleted uranium was used by A-10s and shells from M1A1 tanks. The 82nd are lightly armed paratroopers. ***
I am not inferring the 82nd airborne used Depleted Uranium. I am stating that the United States military utilized Depleted Uranium (remember Gulf War Syndrome in US troops?) and this has caused elevated numbers of cancers, birth defects, and other diseases in Iraq.

I mentioned @fdefects on Twitter as that is a site I follow on Twitter which chronicles the continuing effects of the exposure to radiation, and the suffering it still causes. I follow it because it reminds me of the continuing horror of a war predicated on lies about WMD’s.
I follow it because my Country has continued its use of DU in Syria, and I am sure there are those frothing at the mouth to use such weapons in Iran.
Well we can agree to disagree, but had the bombing been allowed to proceed, it would have changed the course of history, and for the better.

AMEN
Hmmm...
Can’t find it on their home page. Wonder why it is buried so deep
google is your friend, and fact are available for those that are curious.
Bedouin Bob Blew his Brains to Bangladesh in front of a convoy. the damage wasn’t even permanent to the paint jobs; balls and brains wash off. this isn’t the sort of thing that would provoke a mass bug out.
enjoy your virgins, Bob.
“The conflict is ISLAM v. EVERYONE”
Exactly. Some people just cannot grasp the situation.
Please post the links you found. Sharing is Caring 😀
Why the hell are we still there? I think Trump is surrounded and can’t do a thing. No reason to be there.
“We should never have been there in the first place, fighting Israel’s wars.”
We fight our own, thank you.
Alberta: Stuff it. Each of those three countries had nuclear weapons programs 9in various stages). Who did you think they were going to use them against, Red China?
Spare us this idiocy.
I’d say any country with a responsible leader will have a nuclear weapons program. It’s the best defense against predation by foreign adversaries.
Leave that sand pit forever. I see nothing to be gained by staying in Syria.
Including, of course, Muslim vs. Muslim violence.
Exactly. Some people just cannot grasp the situation.
They also cannot grasp that Islam will fight for as long as it takes. Another 1000 years and uncounted deaths is fine by real believers. Most of this thread is a fine example of why we will likely lose.
Odd that something similar was in the story line of “The Code” last night. Hmmmm.
John Bolton: Kosovo's independence a danger to Balkan stability
Maybe he supported what you say but I find NO readily available evidence of this. Kosovo and the bombing of Serbia happened under Clinton so unless, I see that Bolton was "clamoring" for action on Serbia, I'm going to reject that notion.
