Obama’s Up-Side-Down “War on Terrorism”: US Warplanes Strike Iraqi Popular Forces Fighting ISIS
The US fighter jets once again
struck the positions of Iraq’s popular forces during their fierce
clashes with ISIL terrorists near Tikrit, injuring a number of fighters.
The US and coalition forces conducted eight airstrikes near Tikrit, but they hit the popular forces’ positions instead of ISIL.
This is not the first time that the US has struck the popular forces’ positions in different parts of Iraq.
Iraqi military forces, backed
by Shiite and Sunni volunteer fighters, have won control over 90 percent
of Tikrit after inflicting hefty losses on the ISIL.
Some 30,000 Iraqi troops and
thousands of allied Shiite and Sunni militias have been involved in a
month-long operation to recapture Tikrit and other key towns and
villages in the Northern part of Salahuddin province from the ISIL
militants.
