U.S. military pilots confirm they were blocked from dropping
Posted: Nov 20, 2015
because they could not get clearance to launch a strike, according to a leading member of Congress.... The policy is being blamed for allowing Islamic State militants to gain strength across Iraq and continue waging terrorist strikes throughout the region and beyond, according to Royce and former military leaders who spoke Wednesday about flaws in the U.S. campaign to combat the Islamic State... “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 can’t drop, we can’t get clearance even when we have a clear target in front of us,” Royce said. “I don’t understand this strategy at all because this is what has allowed ISIS the advantage and ability to recruit.” excerpt from washingtonbeacon.com ;
If we had fought like this in WWII, we would have lost. - It's should be obvious by now
[ In Reply To ..]what's going on. Obama doesn't want to bomb ISIS.
Schools and Hospitals - Valuing humanity
[ In Reply To ..]Air Force Times: Islamic State fighters have intermingled with civilians in both Iraq and Syria by operating near schools and other sensitive areas.
***
Was it just a couple of weeks ago everyone was outraged about something going awry and a hospital being bombed?
I still hate the school yard bullies from when I was a kid. Hopefully we will have learned a few lessons from Bush's Iraq fiasco and NOT create future generations who hate Americans.
Where's that compassion when Obama is putting our - own at risk? I always wonder about that
[ In Reply To ..]when the left preaches phony compassion.
I am sure Obama is working very hard to protect us - sm
[ In Reply To ..]We have not had an outside terrorist attack in this country since George Bush. From what I understand the French attack was caused by some people from Belgium and France. (By the way, Obama is not president of France). Yes there is still concern about the "lone wolves, etc.
President Obama gets things done without a lot of fanfare--note bin Laden and Jihadi John.
Keep drinking the Kool Aid - me
[ In Reply To ..]PROTECT US? Our borders are wide open - we have more criminal illegals bringing their drugs, diseases and violence to the US - that is PROTECTION? Now, refugees - to take over the country - those "some people" from Belgian and France were the very refugees that will be coming to your neighborhood soon! You let us know how much Obama is protecting you once your neighborhood or family is affected. End of rant.
Ditto and like 1000 times! Even some moderate - Democrats are waking up
[ In Reply To ..]and recognizing the threat.
More Americans are killed by cops than by - terrorists, even homegrown ones.
[ In Reply To ..]nm
We're more affected by our irrational fears - than we"ll ever be by refugees.
[ In Reply To ..]I've never even met a person who was a refugee from another country. Sitting around worrying about the very slight possibility that a "terrorist" could infiltrate a group of refugees is a non-productive waste of time. And bigoted.
How? What is he doing? He won't even call them - terrorists.
[ In Reply To ..]xx
When I think of phony compassion - I think of
[ In Reply To ..]The anti-abortion people who advocate for the bombing of children and turning away the refugees.
Yep. Unfortunately, religion of all kinds is just - a facade masking an agenda of hatred.
[ In Reply To ..]The sooner humanity is able to set aside this needless crutch, the better our chances at long-term survival will be.
I agree, if Obama was president then we would speaking - German, or worse.
[ In Reply To ..]xx
I can see why so many conservatives left this board. Liberals are - going to get us killed. The world
[ In Reply To ..]is a dangerous place, probably more than it's ever been. Race riots, European invasion, ISIS, Iran with nukes.
This not about politics. This is about survival.
I'm going to follow the rest of the conservatives I guess to other boards, where at least the obvious isn't ignored and I can find out how to deal with what's coming.
I think you've got that backward. There are - very few liberals left on the board.
[ In Reply To ..]The conservative-leaning skew is just too obvious.
Maybe that's also because most liberals are - also smart enough to get out of MT.
[ In Reply To ..]nm
If that were true, then the liberal posts here are not MT's doing it. - Most of medical transcription is dominated
[ In Reply To ..]now by single women who vote democrat.
How could you possibly know this? - Do you have access to this data?
[ In Reply To ..]I doubt anyone ever surveyed us to find out how our profession falls by sex, race, marital status, etc. Mainly because why would they give a hoot? We are not important. No one wants this job, no one is interested in us.
Just wondering if you know this by some objective means (i.e. some kind of study or survey) or you are just guessing this.
The president swore an oath to the Constitution to defend - against all enemies, foreign
[ In Reply To ..]domestic.
Yet he thinks his enemies are Republicans and not ISIS. Do you see how he comes alive when putting down his political opponents?
Obama DHS says it won't track missing Syrian refugee - because of constiutional rights!
[ In Reply To ..]Illegal and immigrants don't have constitutional rights until they become citizens.
This is so unbelievable. Well, maybe not.
90% of the Muslim refugees want Sharia Law in their own - country. That is incompatible with
[ In Reply To ..]the Constitution.
Wake up!
We don't have to take refugees. Obama stopped taking Iraqi's - in 2011 for several months.
[ In Reply To ..]This is all political.
There has to be a balance with compassion and - discernment. The world is in conflict.
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Islam, terrorism, and denial. According to Middle Eastern - scholar Daniel Pipes, since 9/11
[ In Reply To ..]there have been 27,000 attacks globally connected to Islam.
yes - hawkmt
[ In Reply To ..]Yes, mostly against other Muslims. By far more Muslims have been killed by ISIS than people of any other religion
So? The point is they're murdering that many people - what difference does it make - ana
[ In Reply To ..]if they're other Muslims, Americans, or Europeans??

U.S. military pilots who have returned from the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq are confirming that they were blocked from dropping 75 percent of their ordnance on terror targets because they could not get clearance to launch a strike, according to a leading member of Congress.
