"You kill them on sight, you don't bus them to safety," said a Whitehouse spokesman.

US aircraft took out a bridge and cratered the highway to block an ISIS convoy given safe passage by Lebanon and Assad's Syrian government. The US did not strike the vehicles directly as reports say they were loaded with women and children, apparently the families of the ISIS soldiers trying to escape Iraq. Lebanese officials praised the move stating it cleared Lebanon of ISIS units. But Iraqi officials were miffed as those ISIS units had been trapped and just waiting to be annihilated by Iraqi forces. US commanders on the ground got a very quick OK to block the escape of the scumbags, who are now trapped awaiting repair of the highway and bridge. Diplomats on all sides are now discussing what to do next.

Meanwhile, upon learning of this, Kurdish units in Syria and Iraqi army units just across the border are moving toward the stopped convoy. Both the Kurds and the Iraqis will follow the US's lead on this. We'll see what happens next.

For me, I say give the ISIS scum one chance to release the women and children into allied hands. Like, you have one hour to start them walking toward us. Then once they are clear, attack the convoy with everything we have. Now...on the other hand, who knows how sympathetic the women and "children" are to the ISIS cause. We've already seen ISIS "children" brutally murder people. One episode the ISIS kids got to play a real life video game, and hunt down handcuffed, unarmed captives in a building, and shoot them on sight. The whole thing was on video, and produced like a movie with background music and everything. It was disturbing, brutal murder....kids no more than 11-13 years old shooting people in cold blood. Point is...maybe that convoy needs to be wiped out as is.

In other news, not surprisingly, the Turks are playing stupid games in northern Syria. Turkish-backed forces fired on Kurdish and US units in an effort to prevent us, and the Kurds, from occupying territory vacated by ISIS. US forces fired back, and the Turkish-backed units backed off. No casualties reported on either side. The Turks HATE the Kurds and that matter will rear its ugly head after ISIS is crushed.
