The U.S. Air Force doesn’t mess around. If you chant “Death to America” and attack us or our allies, you’d better learn to duck.
The Turkish military said Monday that artillery shelling and air attacks by the U.S.-led coalition struck numerous ISIS positions in Syria and killed a total of 63 Islamic terrorists.
The state-owned Anadolu Agency said the strikes took out multiple rocket launchers and gun positions.
Four drones deployed from the Incirlik air base, a launching point for U.S.-led coalition forces in southern Turkey, took part in the operation and killed 29 militants.
The air strikes were informed by intelligence gathered by the Turkish army, the private Dogan news agency reported.
The remaining 34 ISIS fighters were “neutralized” by rocket fire and artillery shelling from Turkey, according to Anadolu Agency.
The offensive started on Sunday when four rockets fired from Syria hit the Turkish border town of Kilis and wounded eight people.
The wider province of Kilis borders territory contested by ISIS militants, anti-government Syrian rebels and Kurdish factions.
The Turkish army typically responds to fire from Syria in line with its rules of engagement.
In the past year, Turkey has also witnessed suicide bombings linked to ISIS as well as attacks linked to Kurdish militants.
The latest came Sunday, when a car bomb detonated outside a police station in the southern city of Gaziantep, near Syria. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for that attack but anti-terrorism units raided 20 Gaziantep addresses overnight in search for suspects.

If the U.S. Air Force was led by a sincere commander in chief it would have those middle east haters surrendering in hours.
Totally agree
me too Cheryl
110%
I agree. If the military did away with the ROE and were allowed to do their job they would stomp the sorry brain dead slugs to oblivion.
However having a PUSSYPOTUS in charge our USAF is relegated to do some CARPET bombings from 52,000 ft as Isis runs into LYBIA, Europe, and the USA…..
They would have been wiped out a lot sooner and then they would not have been able to teach new members that are effecting the USA. Put them on the WH lawn and see how fast he responds.
This Is BS propaganda, a false flag operation cloaked under the guise of terrorism, when In reality It Is nothing more than a fight for the potential for trillions of dollars of energy revenue In a pipeline deal that snakes a pipeline from Qatar through Syrian territory, Syrian President Assad won’t allow this to happen, remember Syria Is the key transit route for delivery of oil, and natural gas to Europe. Liquefied natural gas makes Qatar an energy giant, and the United States, Arab states, and Turkey want a piece of the pipeline revenue. The United States sponsors terrorist groups which the US considers assets In the middle east to do their dirty work, this Is why they supply weapons and ammunition, and even supply training to ISIS. Don’t let Obama fool you, sectarian strife In Syria has been engineered to provide cover for a war for access to oil and gas, and the power and money that comes along with It.
Maybe, but if want what they have & they are hateful bastards & wind up dead, sounds like a win, win, win situation to me. The third win in that scenario is that the USA can feel a bit safer as well! Problem?
63 is a drop in the bucket they killed when the Air Force kills 6300 then they have done a good job!!
Not to mention they probably spent 2 million dollars in ordnance to kill 63 terrorists , the only way to do this right is boots on the ground !!
29 give me a break it should have been 29K .
Killing a few may make some happy, but the only way to solve this problem is to eradicate the vermin….totally. It will not win us any friends from countries that have large Muslim populations however THEY will respect us. We too have a right to our lives and religions with out having to submit to their’s. When they learn that lesson, we can live in peace. It would seem they learned this lesson around 1050-1200BC. Me thinks a refresher course may be in order.
Surrendering ? Not a chance for it is difficult for ghost to surrender. They would have all been dispatched to kingdom come more than 7 and a half years ago without the benefit of enjoying 72 whores.
Please do not call terrorists anything other than terrorists. Militants and fighters give terrorists a bit of value. These people are killers and deserve nothing but death for what they do or are going to do.
I was saddened to read recently about the difficulties that the USAF is having with it’s drill instructors at Lackland, AFB in TX. The article stated that in the past 5 years, over 30 instructors have been court martialed for abusing recruits. As a USAF veteran, I remember one or two instructors who were overly abusive and should have been removed over 35 years back. However, most NCO’s and officers were very smart and respectable folks. Sad as to how in this age, that caring young people are abused for wanting to serve their nation. Good to see though that the Air Force strongly disciplines the cowardly abusive instructors. Sad as to how our nation has changed.
I agree it’s sad to see how our military newbies don’t respect superior officers and how those with rank feel they have the right to abuse recruiters. Time to get back to respect and rules to take over!
@ Penny: Correct. The duty of a drill instructor is to shape a recruit into an airman. Not abuse them. Correct them and make sure they get it right. Not degrade and humiliate. Maybe we need a draft to get a better quality military?
I definitely support a draft as I Was in the army when there was a draft in 1963 AND we had a well trained military with men who knew they had a military obligation!!!
You’re right look what we’ve got for a Commander An Chief he has no respect for our military what so ever he half ass salutes when he gets off and on the helicopter what a bad example!!!!
I was indeed fortunate to have two excellent Drill Instructors during basic training that set the tone for my four year tour.
They were tough on us with high expectations for performance, but not once did I sense any disrespect pointed in our direction. Thanks SSgt. Hank. Still think of you often.
Tom
Wait until the cupcakes cowering in their safe zones start to invade the Military.
how about that draft dodger in our white house
Do you mean Bill Clinton? I know he was supposed to report but never did; they declares him AWOL and issued a warrant for his arrest, while was the Governor of Arkansas…always wondered how nobody could find a governor. Wasn’t he at the governor’s mansion?
I didn’t think you meant Oblamer; he’s not an American, so he’s probably not subject to the Draft, anyway. Just wondering…
No, Bill Clinton was cowering under Jenifer Flowers’ bed.
You DON’T get recruits ready for combat by being nice to them and treating them like the spoiled little bitches they normally are. Most young people I have come in contact with have no respect for the chain of command, their superiors or the other recruits. All they ever think about is themselves. No one is ever prepared for what happens in combat but discipline in boot camp and specialized training sure does help and discipline does NOT come from being nice.
Abusing recruits doesn’t create a strong military. Fortunately the USAF court martialed and even jailed the cowardly instructors who thought it brave to humiliate recruits. Discipline doesn’t mean dis-respect or humiliation. No doubt that these cowardly instructors would be scared if they were sent to face the enemy. Vulnerable recruits are an easy target for these wayward instructors. I salute the USAF, where I once Honorably Served, for addressing this issue.
IT’S ABOUT TIME obama DID SOMETHING, LIKE UNTIE THE HANDS OF OUR SOLDIERS TO DO THEIR JOBS!!!!!!! TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama the Blowhard, so called commander-in-chief/ Liar-in Chief.
He can’t unite, he is a divider has been going on (8) eight years of O J T.
And it always runs down hill.
Sadly, until president TRUMP gets in there, OUR MILITARY is being held back. Unable to get the job complete.
Once TRUMP is elected- he will get the job DONE!! That’s what Successful Business Men DO!
All the other idiots have never had a REAL job in their entire life. None of them!!!
TRUMP will GET R DONE!!!
And hopefully Cruz will he headed back to Canada.
Awake … you hit it EXACTLY.
Thanks for the clear and to the point posting.
There are a bunch of places I would prefer to see Cruz, AG or SCOTUS would suit me.
Carl-
Cruz has committed a massive Fraud by even running for president, as he can produce ZERO documentation that he’s even a US citizen, much less a “natural born” one.
In fact, the only documentation he HAS produced says he was born in Canada to Canadian parents, and his renunciation of Canadian citizenship – these ALONE prove that he’s a natural born citizen of CANADA, and BARRED from serving as president(how can you be a natural-born citizen of TWO countries SIMULTANEOUSLY, especially when Canada SPECIFICALLY FORBADE dual citizenship from 1947 to 1977 – and Raphael Edward was born in 1970?)
As a possibly-soon-to-be-convicted-perpetrator of Fraud, he’s distinctly DISqualified from being either a judge OR an attorney general – and the chances are EXTREMELY HIGH that Texans will vote for ANY challenger to Cruz’s Senatorial spot.
Trump would be an idiot to consider Canadian Cruz for ANY position in the Federal government whatsoever, and if Trump DID put him somewhere(like, say, ambassador to Canada, LOL), i’d immediately lose respect for him as a man, much less a president.
People seem to miss the point of ‘Natural Born’; it’s defined as born in America AND both parents born in America. The framers deliberately set the bar high for the office of president, and no other office, because they wanted to avoid any chance of divided loyalty.
The problem with Cruz is not the fact that he was born in Canada, of an American-born Mother; such a child is automatically an American citizen, without need of naturalization. The problem is Cruz’s Father, who is a Cuban National. If anyone intends to enforce the mandates of the Constitution, as nobody did, when the Kenyan usurper sneaked into the White House, then Cruz would be found ineligible. But these days, people just ignore rules they don’t agree with, such as the immigration laws.
I’m waiting to see the B-52’s.That’s when you will see isis diggen holes to crawl in, Then we cover ’em up…Hehehe
Fill the sky with B-52`s get the job done NOW .
Coming from the Turkish military,huh?LMAO.Turks support ISIS as does the US/ISrael/Saudis
Obama may support ISIS, but We The People certainly do not. Israel and Hamas (yes Hamas) are at war with ISIS. Get your info straight before posting.
One thing about Turks,never piss them off they know one thing REVENGE
ISIS is infiltrating Europe, what a laugh! Do any of the Europeans read history books? Spain was the last time the moslems attacked Europe successfully.
LIKE TRUMP SAYS “IF WE FIGHT… WE WILL FIGHT TO WIN!!!!”
OUR CURRENT COMMANDER IN CHIEF IS IN NAME ONLY. HE COULDN’T LEAD A GIRLS SCOUT TROOP ON A COOKIE DRIVE!
very well put
AMEN
With all of the hoopla relating to the Obama Press Core dinner, (which I refused to watch on TV, but picked up tidbits on the news) what rang a bell with me was the words from a Bee Gee song that went:
I started a joke, that started the whole world laughing, but I didn’t see,
THAT THE JOKE WAS ON ME!!!!!
Obama signing off?? Good riddence. Don’t let the door hit you in the A$$.
And, show a little more class than the Clintons. Leave the dishes and silverware.
I wonder how much fore warning obozo gave his brothers so that some could get out.
Gerry-
Yeah, i agree.
And i DISagree with the entire premise of the article, which is supposed to be a puff-piece “We are Winners” propaganda ploy. Hell, the Russians kill many more ISIS people EVERY DAY than this one dump-and-thump op.
Most people are aware that agents of the USG funded, trained, armed, and gave vehicles to ISIS people in an attempt to topple Bashar’s regime. In addition, the Russians just released a HUGE amount of info proving that ISIS agents are selling and transporting oil to Turkey and European nations(with the US implicated), and have shown their major transportation routes(which the Russians plan to target) – while the US, OTOH, dropped leaflets WARNING ISIS people that bombing of these runs was soon to begin.
And yep, this kind of Treason – ’cause that’s EXACTLY what it is – started right with the Current Occupant, the Fraud, Con-man and Traitor currently impersonating the president of the United States.
This was done much to Obama’s dismay. In spite of Obama’s stalling, protecting his friends
hit those god damn mooslems back to the dark ages . they are all a bunch of lying bastards, back stabbing thugs and thieves!! and they call that a religion!!! what a pack of worthless bums . and those Saudi bastards and there shira law are not any better. we had better pick better allies, other than where ben lauden came from!!!!
As to the comments about the drill instructors at Lackland AFB, this happened as a result of Onama’s purging of officers who would not do things his way. I live near the base and go on base with my best friend who is a retired drill instructor for the Air Force. It is deplorable to see the new recruits and their behavior. They do not chant or sing with gusto like they used to when in drills. They are lazy in their presentations and look like they would rather be playing video games! Out of 100 recruits, you might have 10 that truly want to be there. Bringing back the draft won’t help. Only thing that will help is to bring back true patriotism and a desire to be the best military in the world again.
Why isn’t the news reporting this? I was happy to see that we are doing something about this. I’ve spoken to a few people and no one knew about this. Makes me wonder if this is real news.
I just read another news story about this attack and the US is denying it. What’s up with this?
That’s all fine and dandy! What about the 34 ISIS training camps in our midst???? Why are they still there? We need to focus on HOME first!
Don’t jump to conclusions. If you recall plenty of young men went to Canada to avoid the draft in VN. P Ford then granted them amnesty. Patriotism seems to be a bad word now out of DC and surely is not taught as part of any core curriculum studies. But Mo being a jolly good fellow and other islamic ideas are allowed. I am skeptical that the recruits are abused. They may just be claiming their “rights”?
hooah!!!!
THIS POTUS WE NOW HAVE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. I BELIEVE AMERICA IS IN THE 11TH HOUR AND THIS ANTI-AMERICAN, ANTI-CHRISTIAN, MUSLIM SUPPORTER WHO CAN’T CALL TERRORIST WHAT THEY ARE, ISN’T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IN FACT, ITS IN HIS AGENDA TO HAVE THEM HELP HIM FINISH THE JOB BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR. YOU SEE, HE AND HIS FAMILY, HIS GOONS AND SEVERAL OF HIS LEFT-WING SUPPORTERS WILL BE PROTECTED AND CONTINUE TO LIFE WEALTHY LIVES WHILE THE REST OF US WILL BE SUBJECTS OF THE GOVERNMENT! HE WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW ILLEGALS, MANY OF WHOM WILL BE FROM ISLAMIC TERRORIST GROUPS, INTO OUR COUNTRY! SO HE MUST BE STOPPED ASAP! SOMEBODY BESIDES THE DO-NOTHING CONGRESS AND THE LEFT WING DEMOCRATS AND MEDIA WILL HAVE TO DO SO, OR WE WILL BEFORE LONG BE IN THE HISTORY BOOKS. ON TOP OF THAT, HILLARY CLINTON, LIAR AND CRIMINAL, MUST NOT BE THE DEM. NOMINATION OR WIN THE NEXT ELECTION OR WE’LL GET NOTHING BUT MORE OF THE SAME FROM THE PRESENT POTUS. SHE HAS EVEN STATED THAT IF ELECTED, SHE WOULD KEEP SOME OF OSCUMBO’S POLICIES AND THINGS HE’S PUT INTO LAW ILLEGALLY AND WILL CONTINUED THEN! I FOR ONE COULD NOT BEAR TO HAVE MORE OF WHAT WE’VE SEEN AND WHAT COULD BE IF SHE IS ELECTED!!! GOD FORBID!!
If Obama and all the other Senate Congress, and the multitude of civilians would stop micro managing the war from Thousands of miles away, What is left of our Military would take command and control and get this 15 year old money maker for the wealthy would be over. With the Billions of muslims that there are, at this rate of 63 being killed and a million dollars of bombs being dropped. My GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, Grand children will still be fighting this unauthorized war. And our deficit will be in the 100 of trillions of dollars. I think it is way past time that the American people realize that our president and his administration never want to win this conflict, You can not show much force when the president reduces our Military to near nothing and you cannot win if you send 50 special operation people at a time and tell the enemy that you are sending them and where they are going to be the same with the 250 more that are going, the Obama administration should just paint targets on there backs and chalk there lives up to a victory to ISIS and to the people that can not say RADICAL ISLAMIST. A pissed of Vietnam Veteran.
My DI at Lackland in late 61 was a 5’5″ southern gentleman. He had a 91% record of honor flights and our 63 were no exception. We got along great. He took our Student CO n us 5 element leaders in a meeting n said , u all are bigger then me smarter then me and over 21 if u listen to me and follow orders u will be in that group and we were.
jdp…What only 63 out of thousands bombed and all their rocket launchers , such a small number must be embaressing , this is only reported to polish the tarnished imiage of Obama to aid and bed the enemy by giving leaflets we going to bomvb on “tuesday”, like we getting out of the country on Jan 15th You don’t tell your enemy crap you juyst do it like a black op, but Obama as black as he is does the opposite in a black op.
Oscumbo has been steeling money from the American taxpayers ever since he got in office. Solyendra and Iran even the executive orders appropriating moneys and not able to acct for where it went. Tarp moneys. Moneys for fighting in Iraq . I wonder how many side deals he and kickbacks he made with his party and thru these deals that went to off shore companies. I would keep Oscumbo on a short leash until all investigations are complete. I agree its all a show to cover for doing anything useful for the American people. His skill at deciet will outlive his disaster of a fraud presidency.
A comprehensive plan to obtain Intel locating all threats. Supply lines cut and secured. Careful study to contain them .local forces trained and at the ready those willing to retaliate for families killed and there homes destroyed armed to the teeth. 7 Months of riggerous planing and equip deployed. Modified dune buggys with Rotating 20 mm guns and a box of markers that launch into target areas. And then wait till there asleep. Then when every thing is in place light targets with flares at night on the ground , saturate bomb with rotating B52 s destroying all targets installations munitions, enemy Isis troops communications. By daylight deploy local forces to tighten the grip. Maybe some Russian fancy flying could be of use. Backed with Mobil artillery. Stomp them into a mud puddle. To the victor go the spoils. Provide aide and relief and a safe area families and non combatants can receive food and medical and shelter run by trained local forces. Within 6 days problem solved. Allah can sort out the mess. We must wait our tratior and thief is out of office. No money for Odumbo. Cut him off. This is a job for our new commander and chief Donald Trump.!
Ted Cruz and his wife are the equivilent of another Bill and Hillary tied to global elites cultivated in the media, bush policy 41 and pockets lined with wall street money from Goldman Sachs and Citibank. Portrayed by the media as an outsider when he is really the ultimate insider tied to the elites. Trump gets it right again! Ted is lying and we aren’t buying!
Nothing makes for a happy day like hearing that our military has sent another batch of demons to meet Mohammed.
