#1 Did they give them a 45 minute head start this time?

#2 Yes:

Just as in that earlier case, U.S. jets on Saturday first conducted a low-flying "show of force" over the trucks, then dropped leaflets telling drivers to flee.

#3 Is this the attack where they ran out of munitions before getting all the trucks?
I didn't know ISIS HAD that many fuel tankers - Hi-Luxes with a drum in the back?

#6 The US repor believes that the truck drivers may be Civilians forced or hired by the ISIS to drive the trucks, but are not actually memebers or part of the ISIS???

* OTOH LUCIANNE > [Washington Examiner] US RAN OUT OF AMMO IN ATTACK ON ISIS TRUCKS.

Allegations of poor attack planning or incompetence based on the premise that iff the US = US Fed-DOD believed that the ISIS/ISIL relied heavily or excessively on Energy = Oil-Gas sales to third-parties via road-mobile vehicles for income, WHY DID IT PLAN AIR STRIKES OR AIR ATTACKS AGZ SAME WIDOUT ENOUGH MUNITIONS???

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Red Flag News] US PILOTS: OBAMA BLOCKED 75% OF ISIS STRIKES, i.e. AIrtsrikes agz reliable or creditable IS targets.
