Syrian army says U.S.-led coalition jets bombed it in support of Islamic State

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syria's army general command said warplanes from the U.S.-led coalition bombed a Syrian army position at Jebel Tharda near Deir al-Zor airport on Saturday, paving the way for Islamic State fighters to overun it.

The air strike killed Syrian soldiers and was "conclusive evidence" that the U.S. and its allies support the jihadist group, the Syrian army said in a statement, noting that the strike was "dangerous and blatant aggression".

The U.S.-led coalition has been conducting air strikes against Islamic State since September 2014. In December Damascus accused the coalition of striking an army camp near Deir al-Zor, but Washington said it was done by Russian jets.

A strike list issued by the U.S. on Saturday said it had carried out a strike at Deir al-Zor against five Islamic State supply routes, as well as strikes near Raqqa and elsewhere in Syria.

Sadly, I’m not surprised. The more Muslim the Muslim, the greater Barry’s support.

The Democrats must figure the only way to save Hillary is to start a war.

Syria has been a Russian ally for 50 years. We don’t belong there.

Barak Hussein makes noises like he is on the side of some putatively US allied jihadists but he is a Moslem Brotherhood honcho and behaves accordingly.

Obama and the rest of the Rats are determined to overthrow Assad and bring the Jihadis to power, even if they get us into a shooting war with Russia. We have made the Syrian civil war much worse and more prolonged because of our support of the rebels/terrorists.

the government of Syria should file an international lawsuit for damages against the USA to compensate the Syrian families for the deaths of their husbands and sons killed by illegal US intervention into Syria

I am just sick of this crap

And an act of treason. This war has been explicitly rejected by the American people, repeatedly, despite regular propaganda push.

Obama should be handed over to Syria for war crimes prosecution. Clinton too, and also McCain.

Unfortunately the scorecard is written in arabic and the teams keep changing sides and names.

“Hmm. Obama starts a aware and declares himself “Commander in Chief for the duration.””

IIRC, didn’t Obama go to congress about a declaration of war a couple of years ago? What happened with that?
