Kurdish interrogators allowed a dozen of the surrendered fighters to be interviewed by a reporter as they arrived at the local headquarters of the Asayish, the Kurdish intelligence service, in the town of Dibis, near the Kurds’ front lines opposite Hawija. Officers monitored all interviews.

Yes, I know. The NYT is horrible.

But it is hard to ignore that Obama ignored this for 8 years; Kurds, Trump and Mattis are ending it within 10 months in Syria and accelerated it greatly in Iraq.

NYT will never give credit for that.

Yes the NYT is one of the worst. But mark my words, they’ll somehow twist the story to give credit to Obama.

It’s what they do.......

Fortunately, Trump and Matts care more for victory than credit. Obumbling, all talk, no walk.

Kill ALL isis. If you leave any alive, they will eventually murder again.

They will be given a fair trial and shot in the morning.

The Kurds are a practical people.

Same thing happened at end of WWII - large number of Japanese began to surrender in 1945 on Okinawa

Becomes point at which morale cracks and self preservation instinct takes over

"They shouldn’t be given the opportunity to surrender..."

Yup.

Put them in a cage and slow-burn them.

Yes. What you said is the truth. They know much better than we do about what justice is. They are there. It was their families who suffered under ISIS and their husbands, fathers and brothers who died killing this Great Evil.

Yes, thanks for info on Japanese on Okinawa.

In this case, less than a month ago as they escaped Mosul, ISIS could no longer pay or feed them. That brings things to an end quickly.

relentless American bombing and shelling

Obama is apparently not in charge anymore.

Yes, relentless and exceptionally targeted.

My Syrian Kurd friends have told me that Nobody does precision bombing like the US.

First example they commented about was the bridge into Tabqa. They took out one section on the land side of the bridge. Easiest section to repair and no other sections were damaged.

It worked.

"We do not allow known serial killers to be out on parole..."

Except for the Clintons and their cronies.
