Looks like Ash Carter decided to implement the Trump policy of going after the oil. And they wonder why Trump’s numbers keep rising.

Thereby admitting and confessing that, to date, Obola has had the entire U.S. Military doing the stockade shuffle and the rope-a-dope; pizzing away time and resources, in a premeditated plan to totally pull our punches vs his raghead bedfellows.

As I heard it, our fully loaded fighter bombers were only permitted to BUZZ the fuel convoys at low altitudes. You can rest assured that whatever craven deal Obola has made with ISIS through backchannels, assuring them that they will not be attacked, has filtered down through the ranks, so the raghead truckdrivers flip the bird as our pilots buzz them.

“Strangely, I just read another article about how the Russians have been doing this very same thing.”

I watched the Russian warcraft videos, and it’s not strange at all. Obama is simply copying Putin. What a pathetic “leader” obama is.

It was sarcasm. Yes, the fraud-in-chief is trying to get in front of the parade.
