Alwaght- The United States has d r o pped over 23,000 bombs on six Muslim countries in 2015, a new report has revealed.
New York based Council of Foreign Relations recently tallied up how many bombs the United States has d r o pped on other countries and concluded that since Jan. 1, 2015, the U.S. has d r o pped around 23,144 bombs on Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia, all countries that are majority Muslim.
The sources for his data were the Combined Forces Air Component Commander 2010-2015 Airpower Statistics; information requested from the CJTF-Operation Inherent Resolve Public Affairs Office; the New America Foundation; the Long War Journal; and The Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
The US carries out the bomb attacks on Muslims countries to allegedly combat terrorism but that does not appear to be working . Despite the fact that the U.S d r o pped 947 bombs in Afghanistan in 2015, a recent analysis in Foreign Policy magazine found that the Taliban control more territory in Afghanistan than at any point since 2001. The U.S. has entered its 16th year of war in Afghanistan despite several promises by the Obama administration to withdraw. In October of last year, President Obama reversed his position and decided to keep American troops in Afghanistan until the end of 2017.
In October, 30 civilians died after the U.S. bombed a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. The incident is still being investigated, but it has already been revealed that many elements of the original story were either false or deliberately misleading.
The report also notes that US bombardments in Iraq and Syria failed to weaken ISIS terrorists or decrease the number of their members.
According to the report, the last four U.S. presidents have bombed Iraq, and that includes the current one since airstrikes were launched on Aug. 7, 2014. The war against ISIS was originally framed as a “limited,” “humanitarian“ intervention, however former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta insisits it will be a “30-year war” and the White House has spoken vaguely of a “long-term effort” in both Iraq and Syria.
