U.S. Adjusting Tactics to Intensify Air War Against Islamic State - Tara Copp (Stars and Stripes)

The U.S. will adjust its tactics and risk more civilian casualties when launching airstrikes against high-value targets in Syria and Iraq as part of an effort to increase pressure on Islamic State militants.

The tactical adjustments reflect an intensified effort to cut off Islamic State militants from their ability to fund attacks or move fighters across the battlefield, Gen. Joe Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told lawmakers on Tuesday.

Fuel convoys were only recently added to the target list, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said.

Retired Navy Cmdr. Chris Harmer, an analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, said, "We are loathe to strike those [fuel convoys] because we are going to hit civilians. If the counter argument is we cannot hit civilian casualties, there is no way we can hit the Islamic State because they are intermingled."

Hilarious how you parrot all the stupid FAILED talking points from the biggest clusterfuck ever to set foot in the White House.

If you hire an exterminator to get rid of roaches in your house and after he completes the work there are more roaches than ever, do you still pay him and praise him for a job well done because he claimed that he killed "more than the previous guy"? face)(*^%

MULTIPLYING ROACHES = FAILED STRATEGY

Do you EVER think for yourself?

Moron.

 

[vitterd]

It's never completed work Joe. It's still ongoing.....and it will be ongoing long after you and I are gone ....thanks W and Dick

[SheriffJoe]

poker fraud vtard believes if he says something enough times it'll magically come true.

"knockout"

"Bush created the ISIS"

"welfare is necessary"

"gun control works"

...or whatever bullshit he's spewing that day.

"ISIS is contained"

"If you like your doctor..."

"Not one dime to the deficit"

"It was a youtube video"

He's just as delusional as the Kenyan.

Obama understands foreign policy at about an 8th grade level. That still leaves him 4 years ahead of the level of debate in most of these threads though.
