The Obama administration says the airstrikes are not focused on stopping ISIS from gaining more ground in Iraq-Syria.

The ISIS flag was raised in eastern Kobani this week.

CNN reporter Erin Burnett said the Obama Administration says the airstrikes are not aimed at stopping ISIS from gaining more ground such as Kobani.

CNN reported that ISIS was in control of 13 Iraqi cities before the airstrikes and today are in control of 14 Iraqi cities. In Syria ISIS still controls 10 cities and is about to take the key city of Kobani.

Finally Obama admits the truth - sort of.

Obama doesn’t want to kill muslims - he just wants to kill criticism at home until the election is over.

No, the airstrikes are an excuse to deplete our store of arms and missiles so American power will be impotent.

(title):"The Obama administration says the airstrikes are not focused on stopping ISIS from gaining more ground in Iraq-Syria."

That is why we bomb unoccupied offices at night when no one is there.
The purpose of the US presence is to be "looking good " to the people back in the US , like we are actually doing something
but doing no harm to the establishment of the Caliphate .

Yep, that’s right - and at the same time as “cover” to make it look like he’s opposing the global Islamic caliphate.

The purpose of ISIS is to create a situation where Obama can take out resources from Assad - therefore, no killing of ISIS.

We really did a job — on their headquarters building — after hours — late in the night — with apologies to the janitors who happened to be doing their jobs.

The mission of the airstrikes is to give the left wing media (CNN, MSNBC, Big 3, et al.) something to gush over, and to shore up sagging poll numbers. Nothing else is a priority.
