Congress has uncovered some shocking information about the Obama administration’s strategy for fighting ISIS: during 75% of the missions flown by US pilots against the Islamic State, they were expressly prohibited from dropping their loads on the enemy.
This staggering lack of action stems from President Obama’s unwillingness to entertain even minimal civilian causalities in the battle against ISIS, telling military officials who said that there is always collateral damage in war, “No, you don’t understand. I want no civilian casualities. Zero.”
This incomprehensible policy came to light in a hearing arranged by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA). Grilling administration and military officials, Royce voiced his confusion over how we have been bombing ISIS for over a year now, and yet the group seems more active than ever.
After learning the reason why that was the case, he could only express disdain. “I don’t understand this strategy at all because this is what has allowed ISIS the advantage and ability to recruit,” he told the committee.

Troy Alvin Thank you, that is very nice of you. we need TRUMP BADLY!!! GO TRUMP!
Not only does Obama not understand that airpower alone can’t win wars of this nature, but he won’t even let the pilots give it the old college try. And then there’s something called the Battle of Britain in 1940. How did that go for the Germans?
Criminal.
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW.
IMPEACH OBAMA
TREASON
The difference is Obama won’t let our airmen drop bombs where it counts. He’s micromanaged our military to the point they are useless. Obama certainly has NOT had any success against ISIS.
Exactly right Harry. You cannot defeat an enemy if you don’t hit important targets in which some non-combatants are included. Look at ISIS…their primary target is non-combatants. We need to show no mercy if we want to fight for freedom, and destroy evil.
Worthless as wet c**p paper.
I think that has been suspect for some time now.
