    Default US Drops Leaflets Warning ISIS Before Air Strikes On Oil

    US used F-15 jets to drop leaflets on ISIS trucks transporting stolen oil. The leaflets read

    Get out of your trucks now and run away from them
    Warning, Airstrikes coming, oil trucks will be destroyed. Get away from your trucks immediately. Do not risk your life


    Hidden away in a WSJ article trying to blow out of proportion the US bombing campaign it said

    The military attempted to alert the drivers to impending strikes by dropping fliers directing them to get away from their trucks first.

    Coming just days after PBS propaganda news hour passed off a Russian airstrike and misled its viewers into thinking it was a US airstrike

    LOL...First of all, the plane shown in that picture is NOT an F-15; the F-15 has twin tails. Second, no modern US aircraft (with the exception possibly of the A-10) will ever fly that low whether or not they are dropping leaflets except in landing or take off. Last, the picture alone makes the whole thing suspect....

    It is not a real picture!

    The photo is of the leaflets dropped!

    I can't even tell for sure if that's an American plane. The closest thing we have to that are harriers and I've never seen one with wing tanks. The Air Force doesn't fly them.

    Navy/Marine pilots will fly that low in close air support, but that ain't no F-18A either.

    While it sucks that any potential ISIS may see the leaflets, they were earmarked for civilians that drive the trucks, not ISIS.

    Well ... if this IS a true story, it's one that the Left can, and doubtless will, cheer about. After all, it's an example of terrorists having their human rights respected, so much better than giving the proper consideration to their VICTIMS, instead.

    Would any Leftie care to come out of the woodwork, and applaud this one ?

    I guess the US air force should of dropped leaflets on Nazi fuel trucks in 1944... to avoid the risk of civilians getting killed?

    We won THAT war. Obama is doing bare minimum just to say he's doing something. He's an idiot, plain and simple.

    I'm all for the carpet bombing and killing ANYONE associated with them or near them. It was YOU who was worried about the civilians. As far as I'm concerned, drop the largest ordinances possible, destroy EVERYTHING within reach of ISIS. So make up your mind - can we go to war and do what it takes to win - or do we pussyfoot around and worry about all of the civilians? It's folks like you that make it more difficult. You complain when they do nothing, complain it's not enough, complain they kill innocents, complain when they try to warn innocents.... You just want to complain.

    So do you now agree, take out all potential oil, trucks and anything that moves near ISIS and not worry about whether they are driven by civilians or not? Or do we not go heavy handed, because we may kill innocent people?

    I could care less who is driving. You support ISIS, you ARE ISIS. You won't fight your own damned enemies for you own country, you're a sheep and if you get killed, you're collateral damage.

    I agree 500000000000000%

    I was just pointing out the hypocrisy is all.

    Yeah, except the way Obama's going, that collateral damage is going to be HERE. Only it's NOT collateral damage when you TARGET noncombatants. And ISIS is bringing their shit HERE. And would someone hand Obama over to ISIS so his narcissistic ass will get off my damned TV? He holds more press conferences full of rhetoric than USA shows Law & Order reruns.

    And how bad is it when Diane Feinstein is on a Dem President's ass?
