| [Breitbart] TEL AVIV -- It appears the Pentagon is struggling with the same moral dilemma that confronts Israel in its own war on terror: How to minimize civilian casualties without compromising the aims of airstrikes targeting terrorist infrastructure in urban areas. Social media is ablaze with claims that the Obama administration "tipped off" Islamic State terrorists 45 minutes before the U.S. Air Force destroyed 116 tanker trucks in the Al-Bukamal province of Iraq. The strike was intended to reduce ISIS's ability to transport stolen oil products. The Pentagon's Operation Inherent Resolve Spokesman Colonel Steve Warren told reporters that before the mid-November airstrike, the military dropped leaflets warning truckers, "Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them." |

| #8 I'm all for it! "Dear Daesh, Wherever you go, whatever you do, we're going to find you and bomb you into oblivion. If anyone is anywhere close to you, they will also be destroyed. Sorry about that." |

| #6 ...I would respectfully point out that during WWII even as solid an advocate for total war as Curtis LeMay allowed the dropping of leaflets on targets to let the civilians there know we were coming. I don't believe this should be the case here; just pointing out that it does have precedent. Mike |

| #3 In early September 2014 European Ambassador to Iraq [Jana Hybaskova of Czechoslovakia} claimed there were numerous reports emmanating from Eastern Europe that ISIS was receiving $3 million daily in sales of oil emmanating from Dier Azor and Raqqa. Three European countries were then said to be "unwittingly funding" ISIS. The report was slammed because of the great number of trucks that would be needed to move that quantity of oil. Little did anyone know that Obama had denied attacks on ISIS oil trucks. Thus, it can be truly said that Obama has helped fund the IS campaign and is responsible for the death of thousands. |

| #2 Ike also wasn't concerned about getting his post-presidential political group funded either. |

| #1 How to minimize The Muslim in heart if not chief, only tries to kill 'unauthentic' Muslims and not his kind. Same rationale of Sunnis and Shiites killing apostates, cause you don't kill other 'real' Muslims. Ike didn't have a problem hitting French railroads and yards (and French operators in the vicinity). It's war, not PR. |
