The Truth About Cars ^ | 7/5/2106 | Steph Willems

It’s a well-known fact that Islamic State fighters enjoy using hardy Toyota pickups in their pursuit of cleansing the Middle East of people even slightly different from themselves, but they’ll need to restock after last week.

Recent Allied military advances, including a huge, weeks-long push that liberated the Iraqi city of Fallujah, have ISIS on the run, and the U.S. Air Force’s best aerial hardware just caught a huge number of their vehicles making a break for it.

Don’t make me go digging through last week’s archives, but the damage was NOT done by the US. Iraq called in the air strike and the US declined.

The blurred our sections contain Farsi characters. No US plane would have that in their display.

I heard that IRAQ did these airstrikes (Farsi script on cockpit displays), not the U.S. Are we being LIED TO AGAIN? The U.S. refused to perform these airstrikes.

They will just find 120 people who have a Toyota pickup truck, kill those persons, and drive off in their trucks.

F-16 blocks from the front with a 500 pounder?

A-10 chews up the middle in a perfect rectangle, and nothing lives?

Wow.

NOT bought and paid for by BO and Shillery. Taxpayers - that would be we little people - paid for them.
