“there are definitely live videos as it happened.”

Absolutely. And the feeds are multi-cast out to even NG units Stateside. Tons of ppl watch these strikes realtime.

Agree - they would not travel anywhere in numbers if I were in charge. Trump says the same thing so hopefully he will be in charge.

I would also destroy all the oil convoys transporting their black market goods.

Let’s see them.

250?

Heck, S0ros and Diebold and 0bama can drum up 250 of anything...dead people voting, 250 basis points for Fed noted, 250...pick your poison. 250 lies per day with this regime.

My point is perpetual taqiyya.

I wouldn’t underestimate them as you seem to imply. They nearly toppled the Syrian regime with its trained and well equipped armed forces. Syria has tanks, APCs, attack helicopters, bombers, chemical weapons (which they have used) and so on. Syrian president Assad’s father wiped out the entire village of Hama, 40,000 people in all, to put down the Muslim Brotherhood insurgency in 1982. But baby president Assad had to call in the Russians in 2015 for help (a foreign policy disaster on our part, fwiw) to regain the upper hand against ISIS.

“Ask the DOD public affairs officers if videos of the air strikes exist and if so, when will they be available to the public on YouTube or DOD site.”

The real time ISR videos feeds are classified SECRET. If and when they ever become SECRET//REL FREEREPUBLIC.COM you’ll see them here first!

Trust me, there’s some great S going on now in west Fallujah out to Ramadi. 2 days ago west Fallujah looked like frickin Stalingrad with all the burning buildings and ordinance strikes.

Oh, I don’t underestimate them. They have 5 million+ to draw recruits from. But they are morons all the same. There’s really not much left of ISIS in theater. But they can still recruit so the bombing-of-morons will continue for the foreseeable future.

“probably an accidental killing but yaaa anyway !!!”

Probably innocent refugees, and Obama is trying to cover it up before any reporters get there.

It is hard to strike a convoy when it takes 48 hours for a target to be cleared by Centcom and the WH. ISIS knows that there is no such thing as a target of opportunity under our ROI’s.

If a Republican was president, this would be described as a "wedding party" or a "funeral procession."

It was Iraqi forces that attacked the convoy. Obama is just trying to take credit for action against ISIS after Ataturk bombing.

Did Colin Powell advise the President to stop the attack because it would make us look bad?

He did with Papa Bush back in 1991.
