“The time you are waiting so long for has arrived,” the leaflet said. “It’s time to leave Raqqa.”

Russian, Iranian and Kurdish news sources are reporting that the largely Kurdish SDF is moving to assault the ISIS capital of Raqqa in Syria - like today or tomorrow.

The administration's point man for ISIS, Brett McGurk, just went to Kobane to meet with the SDF top leadership on the 18th.

Maybe Hillary's poll numbers need a boost.

If this operation is going off, it is happening before the gap into Turkey is closed - so fleeing jihadis will still have a path to Europe available.

It might just be a feint, but if so, it is an unusually big one.

Remember when we didn’t give the enemy 48 hours to prepare for an attack?

I see they have the dead ISIS guys on the ground.

Which, of course, they’ve been asking for (72 virgins and all that).

B-52 Carpet bombing is coming? Something “else”?

Great. Their Generals leave and the hospitalized
are left.
Real smart.
Like arming al Qaeda.

A dead llama has more intelligence.

Obama again giving the enemy a 48 hour notice of an attack.

Yes, incredible isn't it? I wonder if those days will return, once the Obungler is out of office? Maybe he is just trying to help the Muzzies avoid all the bombs falling from the sky.

I find it weird that people in the middle of a civil war are Tweeting.

It would seem to me that anyone left at this point is probably part of ISIS, or their family.

Giving that kind of notice is kind of like begging them to booby trap us, do a tactical retreat, and plan a counter attack.

Are we teaching these 48 hour warnings at West Point, now?

This leaflet shows the difference in how civilized people wage war versus how barbarians do it. ISIS not only doesn’t warn people they’re about to attack, they deliberately target innocent civilians. But the United States cares enough about civilians trapped in ISIS-controlled areas that we at least give them a chance to get out of the way.

And for those of you thinking that this is a recent phenomenon, the U.S. dropped warning leaflets on some of the Japanese cities a couple of days before we bombed the stuffing out of them during World War II.

Bathhouse Barry gotta give his folks time to GTHO.
Can’t actually kill the enemy anymore, just move them along a bit.

I am sitting in lynchburg, VA watching the Blue Angels practice their show.
Giving me a warm, tingling feeling.

Just unleash hell from above on’em.
Then let the ground pounders kill anything still living.
Sherman style of warfare.
Only way to deal with barbaric, subhuman scum.

There is just one problem: There is no imminent ground or air attack, at least by the U.S.-led coalition. Rather the coalition appears to be the midst of a psychological offensive.

Wait' I thought John McCain and his anus attachment Linda Graham were going to parachute in first to lead the troops...
