U.S. Pilots Confirm: Obama Admin Blocks 75 Percent of Islamic State Strikes

U.S. military pilots who have returned from the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq are confirming that they were blocked from dropping 75 percent of their ordnance on terror targets because they could not get clearance to launch a strike...

Seems like a terrible waste of fuel, time on the airframes, and risk to the pilots for that low of a percentage of bombs on target.

I understand we don't want to cause excessive civilian casualties. However, most seem to be on their way to Europe or here. Seems the obama administration is literally afraid to hurt anyone.

This isn’t about bombs on target, strike effectiveness or any of that. It is about - ONLY about - APPEARING to be doing something against ISIS. His real purpose is to destabilize and change the Assad regime to a radical Islamic regime, just like all the other countries he’s trashed since he’s been in office.

This man is a radical Muslim who hates America and wants to destroy/convert it by an means necessary. He’s been doing nothing but trying to undermine governments in Muslim countries that have any semblance of cooperation and peace with the west.

This would be flying over the White House today, if we had conducted such a strategy in WWII.

Obama has no genuine religious faith. He's a communist. An atheist. The Black Liberation Theology "church" he attended for 20+ years is bogus. Liberation Theology is a communist-concocted religious movement. It was started back in the 1960s by the KGB. Black communist James Cone later created the "Black Liberation" version of it that "reverend" Wright pushes.

This MINDSET is the ‘LEGACY’ of a DEMOCRAT WAR ....(Vietnam).

It haunted BUSH into conducting a useless ‘PC’ war in IRAQ!
