United States News Title: WHITE HOUSE GAVE ISIS 45 MINUTE WARNING BEFORE BOMBING OIL TANKERS Why did it take 15 months for the U.S. to target the Islamic State's oil infrastructure? The Obama White House is giving ISIS a 45 minute warning before bombing their oil tankers by dropping leaflets advising potential jihadists to flee before air strikes in Syria. Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them. Warning: air strikes are coming. Oil trucks will be destroyed. Get away from your oil trucks immediately. Do not risk your life, the leaflet reads. The leaflet drops are justified under the premise that the oil tanker drivers might be civilians and not ISIS recruits, although its an explanation that doesnt wash with critics. Its not like these drivers are innocent, uninvolved civilians like children or sick people, writes J.E. Dyer. Theyre waging ISISs war, just like the other non-uniformed participants who make up 100% of ISISs ranks. This is how far the Obama administration is going to avoid collateral damage and who knows, it may be worse. FrontPageMags Daniel Greenfield makes a similar point, commenting, 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. Compare the Obama White Houses approach to fighting ISIS to that of Russia. While it took the U.S. fifteen months to even begin targeting ISIS oil refineries and tankers, air strikes by Moscow destroyed more than 1,000 tankers in a period of just five days. In comparison, Col. Steve Warren said that the U.S. had taken out only 116 tanker trucks, the first strike to target ISIS lucrative black market oil business, which funds over 50 per cent of the terror groups activities. U.S. air strikes targeting ISIS oil assets are so rare that PBS was caught using footage of Russian fighter jets bombing an oil storage facility in Syria and passing it off as evidence of the U.S. targeting the Islamic States oil infrastructure. U.S. military pilots have also confirmed that they were ordered not to drop 75 per cent of their ordnance on ISIS targets because they could not get clearance from their superiors. You went 12 full months while ISIS was on the march without the U.S. using that air power and now as the pilots come back to talk to us they say three- quarters of our ordnance we cant drop, we cant get clearance even when we have a clear target in front of us, said House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce, R-Calif, while retired four-star U.S. general Jack Keane labeled the policy an absurdity from the beginning. Numerous analysts claim that the Obama White Houses fifteen month wait before it began targeting the primary funding mechanism behind ISIS was part of a tacit policy to help the Islamic State overthrow Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad. Earlier this year a document emerged confirming that the Pentagon foresaw the rise of ISIS and that western support for Al-Qaeda groups and other anti-Assad rebels in Syria would lead to the emergence of a Salafist Principality that would help to isolate Assad. The bottom line the almost irrefutable truth is that the US and its regional allies were all-in on the use Sunni extremists to bring about regime change in Syria strategy from the word go, and the direct result of that strategy is ISIS, reports Zero Hedge, adding, The US didnt want to cut off Islamic States funding, because without money, the group couldnt fight Assad. The New York Times is also reporting that US Central Command may have engaged in a lear long effort to deliberately conceal the fact that the United States plan to demolish ISIS was not effective. Evidence also continues to emerge that ISIS is receiving support from state sponsors of terror like Turkey and Saudi Arabia. $800,000,000 worth of ISIS oil has been sold in Turkey, a supposed U.S. ally. ISIS trucks are routinely allowed to cross back and forth between the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa and Turkey, while the NATO country facilitates black market oil sales on behalf of the terror group. As Nafeez Ahmed documents, a large cache of intelligence recovered from a raid on an ISIS safehouse this summer confirms that direct dealings between Turkish officials and ranking ISIS members was now undeniable. Poster Comment: Story is from Infowars, which Drudge linked to. I've checked online and this is being widely reported at multiple sources (not by the court eunuchs of Obama's MSM of course). Putin is fighting much better, instead of droppng leaflets he'd dropping cluster bombs to take out the truck drivers and any other ISIS members escorting the convoy. Obama's 45 minute warning also gives ISIS a better chance of bringing down one of our planes. Every sortie has a risk, a sortie wasted on warning leaflets is flown at some risk, and the wasted leaflet sortie puts the follow on sortie at greater risk, assuming it is among the 25% that are not called back. Our ruling class is treasonous. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 6.
