The US-led coalition destroyed 116 fuel trucks operated by so-called Islamic State (IS) in eastern Syria in one day, US defence officials say.
A Pentagon spokesperson said the trucks were hit in a single air strike near the IS-held town of Albu Kamal, according to AFP news agency.

“The Pentagon spokesperson said Sunday’s attack “was part of that strategy to start degrading their financial abilityâ€
Trump’s fault?”.......
Absolutely NOT Trump’s fault. He said to do that a long time ago. Odumbo and his ilk haven’t had an original thought since day one. Bomb not just their trucks (stolen from us no doubt), bomb the oil wells and take the damn oil. That is what Trump said and he is right, cut off their source of income and you will defeat them.
Good idea!
Correct, Trump has said many times that we should cut off the oil to stop the financial support of ISIS.
Their military and PHYSICAL ability is what this POS should be concentrating on! But then again he always sides with IRAN!
Four A-10 attack planes and two AC-130 gunships. Must have been fun.
Memo from Obama to ISIS: “Sorry guys, we need to do this for appearance sake. Don’t worry, we’ll make up for it later”.
No ISIS jihadi’s were harmed during the making of this commercial.
Here's 232 brand new ones.
(With complimentary ak-47's with 100,000 rounds and 6 dozen man-pads and 20 cases of claymores and 2 tons of c-4)

“I will stand with the muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” —from one of his stupid, anti-American inspired books.
It must be magic, they couldn’t do this before two days ago.
This is certainly mission creep, as the USEPA has not signed off on this.< /s>
because the real aim is not to let the Syrian govt retake control of them as they adance into former ISIS territory
As the Syrians with Russian and Iranian help regain more control of their country I predict a deliberate US campaign to target the Syrian economy and civilian infrastructure under the guise of “attacking ISIS”
Yes, I am that jaded and cynical about our own government
Besides, that is the playbook Obama the UK and France “NATO” used against Qadaffi and the Libyan people
Highway of Death. Part II.
Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Remember, I was the one who said attack the oil (ISIS source of wealth) a long time ago. Everyone scoffed, now they’re attacking the oil.

President Obama just told President Putin how important the Russian air strikes against ISIS have been. I TOLD YOU SO!

Sure, because 116 oil trucks always travel together. Who wants to raise the cost for oil?
Remember when all of Sadam’s WMDs were in a convoy to Syria.
At last Obama is listening to Trump! Pull the oil plug on IS.
It’s just for Show ,Obama will replace to trucks later
Check this out:
“I’ve shown our colleagues photos taken from space and from aircraft which clearly demonstrate the scale of the illegal trade in oil and petroleum products,” he said.
“The motorcade of refueling vehicles stretched for dozens of kilometers, so that from a height of 4,000 to 5,000 meters they stretch beyond the horizon,” Putin added, comparing the convoy to gas and oil pipeline systems

Putin forced Obama’s hand.
“Putin forced Obama’s hand.”
Putin “forced” the Fraud to bomb 116 ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN (!!!) oil trucks...
1) After hearing about KILOMETERS-long convoys;
2) After flying over to warn his terrorist BFF’s;
3) and so the Fraud could give his worshippers a “victory” to crow about.
