ISIS truck drivers are the "civilians"-----US Pilots Confirm: Obama Admin Blocks 75% of ISIS Strikes

US Pilots Confirm: Obama Admin Blocks 75% of ISIS Strikes
U.S. military pilots who have returned from the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq are confirming that they were blocked from dropping 75 percent of their ordnance on terror targets because they could not get clearance to launch a strike, according to a leading member of Congress.
Strikes against the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) targets are often blocked due to an Obama administration policy to prevent civilian deaths and collateral damage, according to Rep. Ed Royce (R., Calif.), chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
...When asked to address Royce’s statement, a Pentagon official defended the Obama administration’s policy and said that the military is furiously working to prevent civilian casualties.
...However, Obama’s response was, “No, you don’t understand. I want no civilian casualties. Zero,’” Keane continued.
“So that has driven our so-called rules of engagement to a degree we have never had in any previous air campaign from desert storm to the present.”
