BOMBING SYRIA, LIKE THE WAY I FIGURED

US bombs ISIL-controlled oil refinery in Eastern Syria

After reading about the US bombing ISIL-held oil refineries in Ar Raqqah, Syria, I kept asking myself: “If the US can bomb militants away from an Iraqi dam—and not cause risky damage to infrastructure—why can’t bombing work the same way with Syrian oil refineries?

I also kept thinking about something I posted four days ago:

This brings up a question: what kind of bombing does the US want to conduct in Syria? Perhaps the kind of bombing which destroys ISIL targets and concurrently weakens Assad? Just asking. Russia may have similar suspicions since it’s no secret that the US wants to remove Assad…

The US clearly doesn’t want Assad to reclaim those refineries.

Call it a sly approach to bombing in support of regime change without saying so…
