Prison.. bombed by troops 'in bid to help ISIS militants escape'
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 10 October, 2019 | ROSS IBBETSON

British jihadi Jack Letts may have been staying at an ISIS jail which the Kurds say was shelled by Turkey last night in a 'clear attempt' to liberate locked up fighters.

Explosions in the town of Qamishli, near the Iraqi border, rocked the Chirkin prison where militants from some 60 countries are being kept, guards said on Thursday...

Mustafa Bali, spokesman for Kurdish forces in northern Syria, said today the Chirkin prison is where 'the most dangerous jihadists' are held...

A senior Kurdish official warned today that ISIS militants could break out of prisons in northeast Syria as fighting intensifies between the Kurdish-led SDF and Turkey.

Badran Jia Kurd told Reuters the number of security forces guarding the IS detainees would have to be reduced as the Turkish forces step up an offensive that got underway on Wednesday...

some 10,000 ISIS fighters being held in prisons run by the SDF...

Turkey has proposed a 'peace corridor' some 20 miles wide and 300 miles long along the border.

Erdogan says this will allow for the repatriation of two million refugees currently in the country, and possibly another million in Europe, if their armed forces are allowed to push further south...

Faced with fierce international opposition to his plan, Erdogan wasted no time in threatening to release 3.6 million Syrian refugees into Europe if leaders oppose him.

Maybe it’s time to drop a MOAB on the prison. I wouldn’t shed one damn tear.

There was a Mosquito mission from Britain to The Netherlands to bomb a Gestapo prison for the same purpose. That one was a success.

“Maybe it’s time to drop a MOAB on the prison.”

There was a prison uprising of Taliban POWs in Afghanistan (Qala-i-Jangi), where CIA Officer Mike Spann was killed (and American Taliban Johnny “Jihad” Walker Lindh was being held). After the uprising was put down, local Afghan Warlord General Dostum’s forces took charge of the Taliban prisoners (including a large group of foreign jihadis) - just locking most of them inside shipping containers and leaving them, until they died from thirst after a few days.

Did CBS violate the Geneva Conventions by showing POWs’ faces?

Obama had us fighting in support of al-qeada. (Isis)
Erdogan of turkey is also supporting them, and this was all over a pipeline that quite a few in Congress hoped to profit from.

Whatever....I’m so sick and tired of these other countries demanding the US forces do this or do that, even some in our own military are hopping mad that Pres. Trump is moving 50 troops elsewhere while remind him it’s “the job of Congress to declare war” under the War Powers Act!

Let’s demand Queen Nancy call everyone back to a special session of Congress to decide what to do. Why they can even hold hearings, send out subpoenas to this talking-head and that, maybe even some semi-retired military who are always telling everyone on cable shows how a President who never served in the military, is bungling the job left to him by a Obozo and Pres. Bush, when our troops are spread out all over Europe after defeating the Nazis but now awaiting the Soviet Union to send tanks rolling down the streets of East Berlin or smashing down the Berlin Wall!

Hop to it upChuck and Nancy, maybe you can find the time besides giving your liberal idiot congresscritters more $$$$$, to get Pres. Trump out of office (much less than keeping him and his supporters out of Minneapolis tonight!)

“Did CBS violate the Geneva Conventions by showing POWs’ faces?”

They are not real POWs - not fighting in a regular military for a recognized country. Just terrorists and gangsters.

They were not signatories, and did not abide by the Geneva conventions.

Then they fall under the non-uniformed enemy combatant provisions, and were subject to summary execution as spies and saboteurs.

“They’re advertising them for a new reality TV show!”

“Couples in Custody”

“Dating in Detention”

“Pairing in Prison”

If only the SDF Kurds had a death penalty.

Far fewer of those gunmen would have survived capture in Iraq.
