The great ISIS exodus: 250 fighters and family driven out of Raqqa in coalition deal
Daily Mail ^ | 14 November 2017 | Tom Kelly, Stewart Patterson

British jihadis are feared to be among hundreds of foreign fighters allowed to escape Islamic State’s former stronghold Raqqa under the noses of coalition forces.

Almost 4,000 IS militants and their families were reportedly allowed to leave in a four-mile convoy as the group were defeated in the city in Syria last month.

Witnesses said it included ‘huge’ numbers of foreign fighters – including some English speakers – who are said to have since spread out across Syria and into Turkey, potentially en route to Europe.

KEYWORDS:
This is a disgrace. I can understand negotiating a deal to spare the Kurds doing the fighting but why couldn't an airstrike be made on the convoy as it was strung out along the road?

In fact far from exterminating them the Coalition dropped flares to light their way to Turkey.

It is becoming quite clear whose side the West is really on when it comes to ISIS.

And meanwhile our good friends the Saudis pull the strings.

This is an arrow aimed and released at Europe and the West.

What the CIA should do is capture them by the thousands and interrogate every adult, before allowing them exit out of the middle east, turning some into double agents.

What the CIA should do.....

What the CIA should do is get out of the Middle East. Without our meddling, Syria and Iraq wouldn't be the mess they are today. Assad hasn't invited the US into Syria; we're an invasion force. Lebanon has a right to whatever allies it chooses. Let Syria, Iran, and the Kurds sort it out.

The problem with what you say is that it results in thousands of “returning” ISIS jihadis returning to the West to set themselves off.

You have your purity of purpose, but no function to keep America safe.

All hat, no cattle.

“Without our meddling, Syria and Iraq wouldn’t be the mess they are today”

They’d be a different king of mess that we’d be turning a blind eye to. And eventually, they would become a mess we could no longer ignore. So, it’s just a matter of now or later.

President Trump had the plan to keep ISIS and other terrorists out of the US. Blame rogue justices and spineless DC Swampthings for not keeping us safe.

There was nothing wrong with Syria under Assad, Iraq with Saddam Hussein, and Khadafi with Libya. They kept terrorists in line and didn’t support the globalist agenda.

Thank our Pentagon and deep state intelligence agencies for that one
These rats left the sinking ship under US protection
Men in burkas
Their children already trained to decapitate
Their women trained to torture sex slaves

The Russians had it right when they claimed this
Ask yourself why in the name of God we protect ISIS?
Why is the head of ISIS still a free man?

Are you kidding?
This was the CIA’s army of islamist zombies
Brennan and Clapper and Clinton and Kerry’s pet scorpions and vipers
Escorted to freedom under US military protection while Mattis and McMaster sweet talk a tough line
The unhuman seeds of the next proxy insurgency to be established at a time and place of deep,state’s choosing

Kill them all. Our position is apparently PC-based.

Does anyone remember that the US government was attacking the Syrian government as “helping ISIS” when they made the same kind of evacuation deals in past?
