"Kurdish civilians fleeing IS attack" *


As of right now, I find no additional source verifying the picture to be of what the tweet says it is. While I'm skeptical, where are the guards that prevented those vehicles from passing? for example.
I do think, however, it is still possible that this is authentic.

What do you think?

If it was at night, it must have been even scarier.

In the old days, their God would have sent a sign and then smitten their foe.

Nowadays, He can't be bothered to do so much as to send a parking valet.

I think you need an I'm skeptical tag. Even if they parked right up on the border, where are all the footprints on the other side of the road?

BBC has the same photo. They say satellite photos, are they sure?

At this point, I take everything on advisement.

On the other hand... just because we don't make or southern border respected it doesn't mean it's impossible.

I mean look at that.

People running to safety and yet they stop to go thru some formalities.

They put the bozos protesting in Ferguson to shame in some respects. Don't you think?

Am I out of line?

Have you been reading about the Kurdish women soldiers? Best part, IS soldiers don't get their virgins in paradise if killed by women. They go straight to hell. Maybe we should put women at the controls of all weapons systems.

Not at all.

Kurds in harm's whey, that's out of line.

Not all, but more, it it helps PSYOPS. But I don't want to see this become an argument for Hillary!

@Christy,
Really? Straight to hell? I'd be happy to auto-machine gun down layers of IS scum. Hand me a gun.

Finding female volunteers doesn't appear to be a problem. Hope you're scared, ISIS.
