The Islamic State knows the Americans’ rules of engagement. The terrorists are well aware that U.S. pilots won’t hit anything if there is even a chance of hurting a civilian. So of course the Islamic State positions its fighters and equipment near civilians.

Oh, come on. A couple of A-10s, with their 30mm Gatling gun would turn those tank trucks into a metallic Swiss cheese, and barely ruffle the hair of anyone a hundred yards from the target.
bruce, are you suggesting driving large herds of swine into ISIS forces to disrupt their defensive strategy?
rinardman, that sounds like a plan to me! I'll gladly chip in for a pig. Maybe we could add porky product to the bombs.
Now you're talking R-Man. Let's make some bacon.
