US military burns out howitzers "surgically" bombing the fuck out of 1 million people, to kill a few hundred religious idiots. And we are arguing over whose "victory" that is.

It was more than a few hundred, also they were dug in and equipped. There you go show sympathy for ISIS, "LEAVE ISIS ALONE! Muh FEELZ!"

Also, howitzer is not a bomb it is artillery technically a big gun. So that should make you even more scared and ignorant than you are now, pussy.

Also learn to geography bro. The Raqqa you are referring to is like a county or even a state we are referring to a single city within that governate, I know so confusing for your stupid ass. Once again are ever right about anything. No you are a stupid fucking dumbass that can't tell the difference between a city and a state.

Burning out barrels on Howitzers is a Rare occurance. People getting blown up in Syria has become normalized over the last seven years.

Coalition allows IS to flee with their weapons.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt ... rty_secret

The deal to let IS fighters escape from Raqqa – de facto capital of their self-declared caliphate – had been arranged by local officials. It came after four months of fighting that left the city obliterated and almost devoid of people. It would spare lives and bring fighting to an end. The lives of the Arab, Kurdish and other fighters opposing IS would be spared.

But it also enabled many hundreds of IS fighters to escape from the city. At the time, neither the US and British-led coalition, nor the SDF, which it backs, wanted to admit their part.

Has the pact, which stood as Raqqa’s dirty secret, unleashed a threat to the outside world - one that has enabled militants to spread far and wide across Syria and beyond?

Great pains were taken to hide it from the world. But the BBC has spoken to dozens of people who were either on the convoy, or observed it, and to the men who negotiated the deal.

This'll be awesome, guys! We just let them go to another city full of people, then we blow that one up too! Whatever survivors crawl out of the rubble will become terrorists too, and then we can keep this going forever! INIFINITE WAR RULES!!!

Lockmart shareholders approve.

Well, we armed them so letting them go is pretty much par, but it's a little more complex than that. This was part of a deal brokered between the Syrian government, who basically made the call and ISIS. The US and coalition forces respected the Syrian Government deal. But as I understand it, the US was not happy with it. The deal called for allowing fighters to leave only with light weapons. No doubt they smuggled other weapons out. No doubt some, if not most will show up on other battlefields. Leaving them with personal weapons is SOP in the ME. Frankly I respect them for that, they understand turning in your weapons is sealing your fate.

...because, in war, you don't want to seal the fate of your enemy?

Or did you mean the ISIS fighters were smart for keeping their weapons? In which case, how is this a victory, or surrender? Sounds like they worked a truce, and agreed to fight again later.

Can we just airdrop him into ISIS territory?
