Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire OBAMA DROPPED LEAFLETS TO GIVE ISIS 45 MIN WARNING BEFORE BOMBING

The worst part is that this is Obama's version of an "escalation". He could have taken out ISIS tanker trucks along time ago, but then the drivers would have died. (Via J.E. Dyer)

"In Al-Bukamal, we destroyed 116 tanker trucks, which we believe will reduce ISIL's ability to transport its stolen oil products," Warren said. "This is our first strike against tanker trucks, and to minimize risks to civilians, we conducted a leaflet drop prior to the strike. We did a show of force, by -- we had aircraft essentially buzz the trucks at low altitude."

The leaflets, which fluttered to the ground about 45 minutes before the strikes, simply said: "Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them. Warning: airstrikes are coming. Oil trucks will be destroyed. Get away from your oil trucks immediately. Do not risk your life."

"We combine these leaflet drops with very low altitude passes of some of our attack aviation, which sends a very powerful message," the colonel added.

He said the decision to drop warnings came after they "assessed that these trucks, while although they are being used for operations that support ISIL, the truck drivers, themselves, probably not members of ISIL; they're probably just civilians."
"So we had to figure out a way around that. We're not in this business to kill civilians, we're in this business to stop ISIL -- to defeat ISIL."

Thus, they tried to come up with a strategy "to kind of shoo people away without harming them."

"So we had to go through that whole process of one, determining whether or not we felt it was in our best interest to strike these trucks. And then once we determined that, yes, it is in our interest to strike these trucks, how do we go about ensuring that we're able to mitigate the potential of civilian casualties? And these things take time," Warren said. "...We know the oil funds more than 50 percent of ISIL's operations. This is something we want to take away from them. That we want -- that we need to take this away from them so that they're -- so they're operations are more difficult to conduct."
So after all this time, they came up with a great plan; drop flyers on ISIS trucks so that the drivers, who may or may not be ISIS members, can run away in time. Meanwhile ISIS gets 45 minutes of warning.

I think there's a rule against Muslims killing other Muslims.

Did the civilians at the concert get a 45 minute warning in Paris?

IT's the way the democrats fight wars. McNamara and Rusk let the gooks know when and how we were coming to keep "civilian" casualties down...

Right out of the LBJ playbook.

Why am I not surprised??????????

Maybe they just need a good community organizer to straighten things out there.

On the other side of the leaflet it probably reads: "For a good time call me..."

Look at the bright side of it he didn't enroll the truckers in the ACA.

They knew it was death metal.

Must be written in Swahili.

I wonder if he'll give us the same when he turns the guns openly against us! His treason seems to have no limits!

Seems like just blowing up the first truck in line would send the message that "airstrikes are coming, run away!", without wasting all that paper and spreading litter like that.

if i have had to listen to death metal music concert.. I would have wanted to be shot!

The Muslim can always use the leaflets to wipe their asses with and not have to use their bare hands

Those who rule us have no desire to eliminate ISIS. They trained, armed, and funded ISIS to serve certain essential functions, one of which was to maintain a plausible justification for continued US military involvement in the region on behalf of Israel.

Do you realize how idiotic you sound? (rhetorical question)...

Heck jorge, TRH could work an anti-Semitic comment into his burger order at a drive-up window.

I mean, really....

... retarded.
