    “The United Arab Emirates on Tuesday resumed its participation in airstrikes against ISIS, the country said — its first publicly known foray against the terror group since it reportedly suspended attacks over concerns about pilot safety.
    UAE F-16s stationed in Jordan took part in morning attacks and returned safely to base, the UAE military said without saying where the strikes happened.

    A U.S.-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes against ISIS in Syria and Iraq, where the Sunni Muslim extremist group has captured territory for what it calls its Islamic caliphate. The UAE halted its participation in the strikes in December because leaders were worried there were insufficient plans to save personnel who may be captured, a senior U.S. military official told CNN.

    The safety issue was highlighted by the case of Jordanian military pilot Lt. Moath al-Kasasbeh, whom ISIS captured in December after his jet crashed in Syria. Last week, ISIS released a video showing its fighters burning al-Kasasbeh to death.

    A representative of the UAE government told CNN that no comment would be offered about the airstrike suspension….”

  5. A total disgrace, and a propaganda victory for the Iranian backed Yemeni rebels. It has been alleged that the orders came from the State Dept. Expect more from this feckless and balless administration.

    • We can expect a lot more from the current administration, and all of it will be bad for the US and western europe.
