NYT frisson: Risking thousands, in 2017 US targeted massive Syria dam it claimed was on ‘no strike’ list
[IsraelTimes] Commander of US offensive insisted at time that dam wasn’t targeted, but Central Command now confirms military dropped 3 2,000 pound bombs on ’towers attached’.A covert United States military unit reportedly targeted a massive dam in Syria controlled by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... with some of the largest conventional bombs in the army’s arsenal, despite the levee being on a "no-strike list" given that flooding could put the lives of tens of thousands at risk.
