U.S. F-16's Strike Munitions Site in Syria.. Owned by the U.S.
Seriously folks, can this get any more screwed up? US F-16’s just bombed a U.S.-owned munitions storage facility. We literally just completed a series of air strikes on ourselves.
In what apparently 40% of America will still see as a genius military move, we bombed oursleves because.. um.. well I guess I’ll just let the poor spokesperson for the Army try to explain this.
"On Oct. 16, after all Coalition personnel and essential tactical equipment departed, two Coalition F-15Es successfully conducted a pre-planned precision airstrike at the Lafarge Cement Factory to destroy an ammunition cache, and reduce the facility's military usefulness," US Army Col. Myles Caggins, a spokesman for the US-led military coalition fighting ISIS, confirmed in a statement Wednesday.
Can anyone else hear Putin laughing at us? Can anyone else feel what must be some horrible mix of embarrassment, anger, and shame this whole fiasco is bringing on the proud men and women serving in the U.S. military?
Sure, we’re trying to keep these weapons from falling in the wrong hands. However, if there had been even a covfefe of planning, they may have had time to remove the munitions on their way out. But the self-appointed leader of the Disaffected Confederation of Soon-Obsolete Americans is so unmatched in great wisdom that they had to blow up millions of dollars of US weapons so that the ISIS fighters couldn’t get to them. ISIS fighters who, by the way, were safely held just 3 days ago and are now wandering around looking for unsecured weapons that the U.S. probably just has laying around because of their hasty retreat.
My freaking G’d. Are the Republicans really buying this guy as their President? Is there REALLY 40% of America who thinks he’s the best guy for this particular job?!?
