Iraqi warplanes strike Islamic State leaders in Syria: military

 

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi warplanes hit a meeting of Islamic State leaders near Deir al-Zor in Syria on Monday, destroying the building they were gathered in, the military said in a statement, without giving further details about the militants targeted.

The statement said F-16 fighter jets carried out the raid around al-Sousa village in eastern Syria, as “30 leaders from Daesh (Islamic State) gangs” met in the building.

It sure looks like the majority of the middle east has labeled ISIS an enemy and are stepping up to the plate.

Let's remember to salute them on the way out.

Yep, and then let them solve their own problem.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

And kill each other like they have done for thousands of years in the name of Allah.

That would violate the "Prime Directive" by interfering with the internal and natural development of inferior civilizations.
