The “wiretapping” mystery continues ..
Judge Napolitano Vindicated? British Intelligence Was Used By Obama Administration to Obtain FISA Warrants On Trump Team…
On March 14th Judge Andrew Napolitano said: “Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command. He didn’t use the NSA. He didn’t use the CIA. …
I’m still waiting for liberals to denounce Barack Obama, our Nobel Peace Prize winning so called “anti-war” liberal, as a war criminal.

“There were ten times more air strikes in the covert war on terror during President Barack Obama’s presidency than under his predecessor, George W. Bush.”
Obama’s covert drone war in numbers: ten times more strikes than Bush — The Bureau of Investigative Journalism
The use of drones aligned with Obama’s ambition to keep up the war against al Qaeda while extricating the US military from intractable ground wars, but the programme has drawn much criticism.
“The U.S. dropped an average of 72 bombs every day — the equivalent of three an hour — in 2016, according to an analysis of American strikes around the world.”
“The report from the Council of Foreign Relations comes as Barack Obama finishes up his presidency — one that began with promises to withdraw from international conflicts.”
“In Afghanistan, between when Obama entered office in January 2009 and the end of last year, 24,848 bombs had killed 1,214 civilians, or one civilian per 21 bombs dropped.”

“In President Obama’s last year in office, the United States dropped 26,172 bombs in seven countries. This estimate is undoubtedly low, considering reliable data is only available for airstrikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and Libya, and a single “strike,” according to the Pentagon’s definition, can involve multiple bombs or munitions. In 2016, the United States dropped 3,028 more bombs—and in one more country, Libya—than in 2015.”

Hah! That’s it? At a cost of $16 million per MOAB, we just spent $444,444 on each dead ISIS fighter. Well done!

“Afghan officials said 36 militants were killed in the strike in Nangarhar province, near the Pakistan border. The US military previously estimated ISIS had 600 to 800 fighters operating in the area.”
36 ISIS fighters killed by US ‘mother of all bombs’: Afghan official
US and Afghan military officials are assessing the impact of a colossal US bomb dropped on ISIS tunnels in a remote part of Afghanistan, the most powerful non-nuclear weapon the US has in its arsenal.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/14/asia/afghanistan-isis-moab-bomb/
“Officials said the target was an ISIS cave and tunnel complex and personnel in the Achin district of the Nangarhar province, a remote area in the country’s east which borders Pakistan.”
“Afghanistan’s ambassador to the US, Hamdullah Mohib, told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin that the bomb was dropped after fighting had intensified over the last week between US Special Forces and Afghan troops against ISIS.”
“The US and Afghan forces were unable to advance because ISIS had mined the area with explosives, so the bomb was dropped to clear the tunnels, Mohib said.”
“”This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive against ISIS-K,” Nicholson added.”
“”US forces took every precaution to avoid civilian casualties with this strike. US Forces will continue offensive operations until ISIS-K is destroyed in Afghanistan,” read the statement from US Forces Afghanistan.”
“The extent of the damage and whether anyone was killed is not yet clear. The military is currently conducting an assessment.”
“The Achin district is the primary center of ISIS activity in Afghanistan. A US Army Special Forces soldier was killed fighting the terror group there Saturday.”

OPCW only visited 21 of 23 declared chemical weapons production facilities in Syria because the 2 remaining sites were in rebel held territory (controlled by anti-Assad forces) and inaccessible for inspection.
—
“The organization in charge of the inspections said Monday that its teams had visited all but two of the 23 chemical-weapons sites declared by Syria, in some cases smashing with hammers the machines used to fill chemical warheads with sarin and other lethal toxins.”
“The two remaining sites, located in areas contested by rebel fighters, are believed to be storage facilities and it is unknown what kind of production equipment, if any, exists there.”
“Despite the inspectors’ inability so far to reach two of Syria’s declared chemical sites, the Syrian government has cooperated with inspection teams, providing access as well as security, the State Department official said.”
