Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

100 al-Qaeda jihadis killed in U.S. airstrikes in Syria

Jan 20, 2017 1:57 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Just as Obama got ready to leave office, he authorized a groundbreaking strike against an al-Qaeda training camp in Syria, killing 100 jihadists, perhaps in a last ditch effort to salvage some of his legacy.

The strikes came on the heels of stealth bombings blasting two Islamic State training camps in Libya yesterday, killing some 85 jihadists.

“100 Al Qaeda militants die in US-led airstrikes in Syria”, Indian Express,  January 20, 2017:

DAMASCUS: At least 100 militants of the Al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front were killed by US-led airstrikes in Syria’s Aleppo province on Friday.

The anti-terror coalition targeted a training camp in the town of Dar Izzeh, Xinhua news agency reported.

The Nusra Front was amassing forces to make attacks in Syria after the upcoming talks in Astana, from which it was excluded due to being designated as a terrorist group by the UN….

    This attack was extraordinary. I bet it had everything to do with salvaging Obama’s legacy.

    It would not surprise me that some of his terrorist allies might have been getting just a little out of hand. I read another report that said the strike was made by B2 Bombers out of Missouri. If true, that’s a long way to go and a lot of hi-tech firepower to take out 85 Jihadis. I suspect that the camps had something more target worthy. Perhaps some seriously bad weapons (i.e. Stinger missiles?) which are easily traceable back to the USA blundering (Obama, Clinton, Kerry et al) were the real target.

    Seeing US weapons show up in Jihad mass murders around the globe would make Obama’s legacy building more difficult, even with the mainstream media covering and propagandizing for him 24/7 as they always do.

    Obama just making a last minute strike to take out jihadis on the ground while freeing as many from Gitmo makes no sense whatsoever. Something bigger had to be involved.

        I would imagine it’s all part and parcel of his continued determination to pretend that al-qaeda has nothing to do with ‘true Islam’.

        Thank God he’s gone.

        But I will bet this succubus will continue to try to interfere; I just hope President Trump has his measure.

        Rank and File Jiihadis are expendable bomb fodder to lay smoke for Obama, while the freedom of the Gitmo worst of the worst hardcore is necessary for world wide Jihad. Obama just trying to cover his tracks.

        He releases his buddies out of gitmo. Why kill them in syria, you piece of traitorous crap?

      It seems that the Saudi “royal” family are behind the terrorists – ever since Osama. Of course, they are also great friends of Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton. Or it looks that way, what with all the money they have given to Mrs. Clinton at least.

        What was Obama’s net worth when he became Pres.? And before, when he was a Senator? (I am aware that the figures are given in wide ranges).

        But, after 8 years- at a salary of what (base-not counting freebies)- $200,000 or so?

        Was he able to buy a house in the millions in DC, and I had read or heard an apartment in one of President Trump’s condo buildings. (The condo-or possibly a co-op in NY-almost the same thing) also most likely in the 7 digits (no change-just dollars).

      Bill, well said. Good cynicism on your behalf! Yes, almost certainly there was something in that al Qaeda camp that Obama wanted destroyed in order to conceal his treacherous complicity with the Islamic enemy.

      I’m delighted that Trump won and is now president, but am concerned that he is too conciliatory toward the treacherous opponents that Obama and Hillary Clinton have been – just because they’ve shown signs of being gracious following his victory. In fact Obama made a number of decisions – not least those that affect Israel – that were anything but friendly, and no doubt Hillary Clinton is afraid of being investigated over her e-mails, Benghazi and other matters.

    About. Damn. Time. Now keep it up, every day. Just let our armed forces off the leash – they’ll get ‘er done.

    It was interesting we flew nuclear capable stealth bombers to kill 85 terrorists. Obama used weapons terribly cost ineffectively. While leaving ISIS as an operating state with bridges and utilities.

    Obama did it hoping that America would come under more terror attacks.

        @Dave Flang, Very effective intelligence gathering until Hollywood and the Left-Media attacked Senator Joseph McCarthy trying to prevent what we just narrowly escaped from under with the Rogue Revolutionary Obama/Soros Administration. Next Senator Frank Church in the 1970’s, attacked the Counter Intelligence Program limiting our Intelligence gathering thus clearing the road for the Communist Revolution USA in Solidarity with the MB.

    It defies rational explanation why this strike took place in the very last days of his Reich of Ruin. I’m not at all prone to conspiracy theories, but I can’t help but suspect the boy-king took one last swipe at the hornets nest in order to incur their wrath directed at a new administration. Yes, he is that vindictive.

    I wonder, out of those 100, how many were willingly released from prison by Assad and how many were foreigners who entered via the Turkish border, under the wilfully blind eyes of Turkish authorities?…

    Didn’t Obama give $500 million to Al Nursa a couple of years ago? Thank God he is gone.

    Ackbar Obama the moody narcissist kills innocent victims of Islãm.

    Strange behaviour.

    Obama was very free with our money when it came to Muslim regimes and terrorists. He never understood it wasn’t his money. During his time in office he wasted $100 million on vacations for himself and his family. That was our hard-earned money confiscated from us by the IRS.

    The epicentre of tertorism in the world is .. Pakistan .. the blue eyed boy of Hossain Obama ..

    Hossain Obama gave billions of dollars to Porkistan , in the pretext of searching for Osama bin Laden & fighting Al Qaida in Afghanistan ..

    Ex Armymen from Pakistan are the ones who are traing the ISIS fighters to make IEDs & to handle the modern weapons supplied by Obama regime ..
