US Bombed ‘Empty Buildings’ in Raqqa in Airstrike on ISIL in Syria
21st Century Wire
The US fanfare surrounding Washington’s bombing raid over Syria was immense. WIth all the hype, you’d have thought that it was a new Pearl Harbor.
With a risk of popping President Obama and the US State Department’s bubble, we need to ask: did the US bomb a load of empty buildings in Syria on Tuesday?
According CNN Middle East correspondent Arwa Damon (photo, above), resident from the town of Raqqa, in northeastern Syria had “mixed reactions to US strikes”. The reason given was a real shocker:
Damon revealed on air that early Wednesday that ISIL terrorists who were held up in the town may have been tipped off weeks in advance to the US airstrikes on Tuesday. According to Damon:
“15-20 days before the airstrikes, (ISIL) buildings were evacuated, and fighters then mixed in with the local population”.
This surprising admission by CNN would mean that the US military may have only destroyed empty buildings in Raqqa, and that Washington’s inflated claims of dead ISIL fighters are probably exaggerated. In other words, it was all a big show, and ISIL’s capabilities were not degraded at all by Obama’s celebrated US blitzkrieg in Syria.
EMPTY BUILDINGS: CNN’s report suggest a hollow victory by US on Tuesday.
CENTCOM Has a Leak
If ISIS/ISIL operatives did indeed have advanced warning of US airstrikes in Syria – as this CNN report definitely suggests, then we also have to ask, where was the leak? The most likely source of a leak would be from US CENTCOM located in Doha, Qatar.
The other possibility is that ISIS/ISIL financial sponsors in Saudi Arabia and Qatar had received word of the coming US operation and were instructed to vacate any potential targets.
Many military experts have questioned the US airstrikes as ‘ineffective’ because targeting static venues will not deter ISIS/ISIL, and these latest revelations will only reinforce that skepticism.
As far as gathering and verifying intelligence goes, how can we know if US operatives knew who was where? and a better question is how much can the public trust US reports of its own bombing campaigns. It can’t be easy, even for the intelligence analysts with political busy bodies and State Department PR hack breathing down spooks’ shirts. As a result, assessments are often conflicting, and patchy, depending on which wing of the CIA is making the announcement.
Given that Washington has no track record of being anything other than highly politicized when it comes to ‘intelligence’, it’s hard to believe anything coming out of Washington these days.
At the end of the day, they tell us what they want us to hear.

A friend of mine lives in Syria and he told me they were warned before hand of what buildings are going to be targeted and at what time so that they could evacuate.
He said Obama is protecting Islam people and did not want to kill any Islamic people. At least, that’s the word!
All I can do is laugh! I was noticing that there wasn’t any traffic or auto’s near any of the buildings bombed. How long would it take for this to get out? What a farce. Bomb specifically empty areas and buildings , ha ha ahha Sheeple wake up!!! How can you not seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee??????????
Glad someone is pointing this out. When I watched the video I said “There are no vehicles parked there. No people walking around. That building is most likely empty. Why are we putting on this show, wasting tax payer dollars to bomb empty buildings for show?” This is insane. What a joke. They can’t even conduct a fake war in a way that looks believable. Thats how brazen they have become.
Oh, and lets bomb SYRIAN oil refineries because “ISIS controls them” and we have to frustrate their efforts. But those refineries are SYRIAN infrastructure. Why don’t you take out all the bridges in Syria because ISIS could use them to move around. Take out all the Syrian dams because ISIS needs water to drink and blow up all the power plants in the country because ISIS needs power to plan their terrorism at night…. They are just using ISIS as the scapegoat to take out Syrian infrastructure. PERIOD. This is undeclared war against Syria… which is what Obama wanted a year ago. How easily the American population and military are duped. They just changed the script. Lets overthrow Syria to stop the terrorists instead of fighting along with them to overthrow Assad.
