Islamic State readying jets in preparation for an air attack

In August, I wrote a pointed article on why the US military was not prepared for how the fight had evolved with ISIL (http://www.blackboxwire.com/2014/08/30/the-next-911-we-are-not-prepared-for-how-isil-will-use-advanced-military-weapons-to-attack-us-targets/) in which I warned specifically about them using captured air assets.  For this specific warning, I received some very dismissive comments from government sources.  However, just this last week, Reuters (re)broke […]

First Stage of Iran War Nearing Completion: Free Syrian Army being used to clear air corridor for attack on Iran

The first stage of a shooting war with Iran is nearing completion.  Over the past year, the US has been covertly using Islamic terrorists to fight a proxy war in Syria.  The jihadists from as far away as the United States, Chechnya, and Libya are being used by the CIA for what they believe is to […]
