| Coalition says airstrikes have slashed 90 percent of ISIS oil exports | |

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) said Monday it had shut down 90 percent of the group's oil export capacity, in some 9,000 air strikes this year in Iraq and Syria. "Coalition forces curbed ISIS capacity in the export of oil by 90 percent," coalition front man Steve Warren said in Baghdad. "The international coalition carried out 9,000 air strikes in Iraq and Syria during 2015," he said. As Iraqi forces gear up for an major offensive to push ISIS out of Ramadi -- capital of the country's largest Anbar province -- Warren said there would be no US ground forces taking part in the operations, which Baghdad said would take place this week. Warren said that thousands of ISIS gunnies had been killed in He added that 40 percent of areas that had been held by ISIS -- which stormed into Iraq and captured a third of the country in a June 2014 blitzkrieg -- had been reclaimed by Iraqi joint forces."The terrorist organization (ISIS) lost more than 40 percent of the land in Tikrit and Baiji, and soon in Ramadi," he said. Warren also expressed pleasure at "the Turkish withdrawal from Iraqi territory," referring to an announcement by Ankara that it was pulling out forces that had been near djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... The front man said that "the arrival of a US special force to perform (military) tasks was at the request of the Iraqi government." He denied Russian allegations that the coalition was bombing Iraqi soldiers deliberately, saying those reports were "incorrect." Iraq said Saturday that nine of its soldiers were killed when US-led coalition warplanes mistakenly struck the troops near the ISIS-controlled city of Fallujah. | |

| #2 Deliberate indifference for over a year equals aiding the enemy. Or securing the "Muslim vote" in certain parts of the world. |
