ISIS terrorists, adherents of the so-called Islam religion of peace, have begun stationing children outside of their bomb-making factories in order to keep U.S. airstrikes at bay.
Col. Ryan Dillon told the Washington Free Beacon that his mission has seen video of terrorists ordering the nation’s youngest to stand guard outside the facilities around Raqqa.
Using children to dodge bombing campaigns seems hardly religion-of-peacey, does it?
More, from the Free Beacon:
Dillon said while this has prevented coalition forces from directly striking the factories, American-led troops are able to take out many of the bomb-ridden vehicles before they reach crowds of civilians or Syrian Democratic Forces.
“We know of a particular factory where anything that drives out of there we’ll strike as soon as it’s clear and free from places where we think they’re going to have civilian casualties,” he said over the phone from Baghdad.
“We’ve also tried to crater main roads throughout the city so that these vehicle-born IEDs can’t just spring down a road at 50 miles-per-hour—they have to go around potholes and other things strewn across the streets.”
Dillon said a key reason the United States issued arms and antitank weapons to both Arab and Kurdish factions of the SDF is to enable local forces facing an eminent threat to blow-up vehicle-borne IEDs when American troops are unable attack in time.
Since coalition operations to retake Raqqa began in June, ISIS has taken advantage of the closely spaced buildings and tight streets of the city to plant large IEDs in an attempt to slow SDF advances. More than 80 percent of the ISIS assaults against SDF forces over the past two months have been carried out using IEDs, according to Dillon.
“We have seen a higher increase in the use of IEDs in Raqqa compared to what we saw in Mosul,” he said, referring to ISIS’s former de facto capitol in Iraq. He said there’s also been an uptick in vehicles rigged with explosives parked along busy streets.
The SDF currently controls 45 percent of Raqqa. Military officials said while the offensive gained significant ground early on, it has since slowed down. Dillon rejected the characterization of a stalemate and said SDF troop were continuing to progress daily.

Bomb them nevertheless. The guilt for doing so rests NOT on the shoulders of the US forces but totally and exclusively on terroristic regime. BOMB, BOMB, BOMB! If that “tactics” (of using human shields) will no longer work, it will no longer be used by them and multitude of other children can be saved in the future. But hesitancy and moral uncertainty will certainly cost lives, now and in the future!
There were no qualms about destroying the children of Nagasaki and Hiroshima to hasten the end of ww2. The precedent has been set. The allied fire bombing of Dresden is another fine example of how children as well as everyone else are removed to weaken an enemy.
America gave Japan 72 hours notice before bombing any city, in order to allow civilians to vacate the area.
That they chose not to do so was not America’s responsibility. How many innocent Chinese citizens did you lovely Japanese bayonet and murder? (Hint: The Rape of Nanjing) Then there is the lovely matter of the Korean Comfort Women you abused. If the horrors were so great, why did Japan not surrender after Hiroshima? Even after Nagasaki, it took a massive firebombing of Tokyo itself before Japan came to its collective senses.
The figure was 12 million, murdered by bayonets and shovels the comfort women issue was dismissed by MS as “ancient history” recently despite those women still being alive. I believe the fire bombing preceded the atom bomb attacks, they saved half a million allied casualties and even more Japs. Their “Greater Asian co – prosperity zone” lasted about 10 years I believe.
Do lets compare the comfort women issue, which is one of Japan’s war crimes, with the contemporary british practice of under age minor girls being whored around by muslims, with the complete support of every level of british society. rotherham being a nice text book example. What did the british learn about sex slavery from the Japanese? What do the british practice pertaining to islamic sex slavery today. Rather stupid race, are the british, they take the worst of islam, then “anglicize” it. The history of islam is not lost on the british, they absorb and relish every bit of muslim perversion they can get.
Read your history books, the Japanese response was in Japanese, which was not interpreted properly, the usual trigger happy cowboy went off. Japan should never have started ww2, it paid a high price for its stupidity, in the case of Japan, lessons were learned. In the instance of western europe, they weren’t.
Maybe Imperial Japan was waiting for the allies to surrender to them.
Very likely not, most likely they were trying to understand the mindset and the message, it is fairly important to understand that not everyone has a western outlook. Look at western europe, they stupidly think they can persuade islam to adapt and submit to atheistic socialism. How’s that working out for them?
I was joking, sorry.
No problem, lost it in translation. Happens all the time.

The children are the only truly innocent people in war MS as I’m sure you would agree, unfortunately the leaders of Japan at the time sowed a wind and reaped the whirlwind thinking they would never be held to account for their crimes. You can take Blair to court for his war crimes with my blessing..
The reality of the situation is what requires being dealt with today, as the lessons of the past are not learned, especially by the western europeans, who will thankfully be bred out of existence in a generation or two, replaced by a middle eastern and far eastern hybrid.
Yup I heard around 2050! Did you ever hear that? They were saying how they are outbreeding us. All of us! They pay no attention to their footprint they will leave on the world. Lol Just ask Al Gore. He’s the biggest offender of all. Such a lying hypocrite!
But in this case the f’ing muslums are deliberately placing children in proximity to military targets for no other reason than to prevent those military assets from being destroyed. The f’ing muslums put these children at risk, no one else. Perhaps this is why JP and Nazi Germany didn’t put playgrounds and children’s schools next to military bases, airfields, naval stations etc.
Your right about that! The children are being raised to be terrorists and anyone with half a brain knows that. They are the future generation! Not very comforting is it. But it will go on and on and on and never stop. Not until Islam is the only religion. They have a plan and they’re putting it into action as we speak. We know it but most of the people drink the kool aid and believe that religion of peace BS! Wonder how it’s all going to end? Hope you’re doing great Mahou!
I agree. Bomb them. This is another fine example of our dysfunctional military leadership.
Ok to be PC, destroy their war machinery as it leaves the factories. But of course far enough away from the children. ISIS will need new drivers.
Use gas to drive away the civilians.
How on earth can you win a game when the two side play by different rules? muslims have no problem killing children and no problems teaching those children how to throw grenades, shoot and knife. Why is the name of God are we so hesitant to kill them? If THEY place children in front of buildings that they know are military targets and those buildings are bomber then THEY killed the children!
Using children as shields is an old tactic. The Muslims couldn’t give a damm about their own children. It just goes to show you what COWARDS these SAVAGES are!!
I like those homemade armored vehicles. I wonder how they would stand up to .50 caliber machine gun fire? Or hellfire missiles.
