Feel Good Story Of The Day: 10 ISIS Boats Blown Out Of The Water By U.S. Forces
This can be your feel-good story of the day.
The Pentagon says the Islamic State is on the run in east Mosul, and that U.S. airstrikes blasted 10 boats on the Tigris River as Islamic State fighters tried to flee to the western part of the Iraqi city.
“It is a great day to not be a member of the ISIL Navy,” Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said on Monday.
Well, any day is a great day to not be a member of that slithering load of demon scat.
U.S. airstrikes have been a successful tool in beating back ISIS.
Reports state that all five bridges for crossing the Tigris have been destroyed. Boats are the method ISIS has been forced to use, and to date, 143 boats have been targeted and taken out by air strikes.
“Our message to ISIL is this: ‘We will not allow you to get away to the other side of the river, and set up shop there,’ ” Davis said.
The watercraft make an easy target for U.S. warplanes, and the boats’ destruction prevents the Islamic State fighters from escaping and joining the last remnants of the Islamic State who are holed up in the downtown area of the northern Iraqi city.
Iraqi forces seem to have the upper hand over ISIS on the east side, and they’re now pinned down on the west side of the river. The problem with that is that the area is more densely populated, making it more troublesome for liberating forces to operate in that area.
“We will leave it to them [the Iraq forces] to officially declare when it’s liberated, but I will tell you in east Mosul we are well past the tipping point,” Davis said, but he cautioned the fight in western Mosul is going to be tough urban battle.
The risk for civilian casualties is at the forefront of planning for liberating forces, but at least progress is being made.
