US Gives ISIL 45-Minute Warning before Bombing Group's Oil Convoys

TEHRAN (FNA)- An American commentator revealed that the US Air Force gives a 45-minute warning to the ISIL convoys carrying fuel before bombing them under the funny pretext of saving the lives of the tanker drivers.
Ever since the Russians began dropping real bombs on real ISIL targets in Syria, the United States and NATO have been forced to engage in a two-sided propaganda campaign that swears opposition to ISIL while simultaneously doing everything it can to facilitate and protect ISIL forces on the ground, Brandon Turbeville disclosed in a commentary printed by the Activist Post.

It has also found itself in the bizarre position of trying to facilitate the death squad army while, at the same time, attempting to play catch-up to the Russians in at least the appearance of bombing ISIL.

Thus, when Russian forces truly hit at one of the sources of ISIL funding – the captured oil being shipped from Syria and Iraq to Turkey where it is purchased by Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan’s son, Bilal – the United States must then engage in its own faux bombing campaign against ISIL oil trucks.

Yet, instead of actually bombing the trucks – drivers and all – and putting them out of commission permanently, the US bombing campaign takes the form of a laughable formality that involves a 45-minute warning to the oil convoys that a US bombing campaign is about to take place. The warning involves an airdrop of leaflets to the tankers that read “Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them. Warning: air strikes are coming. Oil trucks will be destroyed. Get away from your oil trucks immediately. Do not risk your life.”

The justification is that the drivers of the tankers might be civilians and not actual ISIS members.

Of course, there is no mention of the fact that, in any other context, an individual who renders “material support to terrorists,” particularly in the form of driving tankers of stolen oil in a war zone that will be used to fund the terrorist organization would be killed without question under that designation.

There is also no mention as to why these “potential civilians” received ample warning but true civilians receive no such courtesy. It is truly a pity that the US did not drop leaflets to the million Iraqis it has killed over the last decade or the thousands of Libyans that died at the hands of NATO.

Still, one need only look at the numbers of destroyed oil tankers racked up by the US in comparison to the Russians to see a distinct difference. The United States, according to Col. Steve Warren, has taken out only 116 tankers since the bombing campaign began while the Russians have eliminated over 1,000 in five days. Remember, until the Russians began bombing the oil tankers, the United States had yet to launch an attack on them.

Even more laughable was the response that came when the US military was questioned as to why they were unable to destroy more trucks than they did after such a highly publicized strategy. According to Army Co. Steve Warren, the American jets simply “ran out of ammo” in the process. “The goal was to destroy every truck there. They ran out of ammunition before they were able to do that. But the desire was to destroy every single truck there,” he said.

Even with the new attempt to be seen as truly aimed at fighting ISIL in the eyes of the gullible American public, the US has been forced to use videos and photographs from Russian bombings to purvey across the mainstream media due to the fact that American strikes on ISIL oil trucks are so rare.

The pathetic propaganda fail by the United States military now stands as yet one more example of how the United States is not at all interested in defeating ISIL but instead on defeating (Syrian President Bashar al) Assad, Iran, and the Russians.

Indeed, American foreign policy propaganda would be greeted as much needed comic relief if it were not so tragic and potentially dangerous to the rest of the world.
