U.S. planes pounded Islamic State positions in Syria for a second day on Wednesday, but the strikes did not halt the fighters' advance in a Kurdish area where fleeing refugees told of villages burnt and captives beheaded.
"Those air strikes are not important. We need soldiers on the ground," said Hamed, a refugee who fled into Turkey from the Islamic State advance.
Mazlum Bergaden, a teacher from Kobani who crossed the border on Wednesday with his family, said two of his brothers had been taken captive by Islamic State fighters.
"The situation is very bad. After they kill people, they are burning the villages.... When they capture any village, they behead one person to make everyone else afraid," he said. "They are trying to eradicate our culture, purge our nation."

Islamic fighters advance in Syria during daylight when you can see them.
Then why bomb them at night?
Cartoonists and Islamic State agree:
0bama’s an IDIOT.

Sounds like there are lots men who could have been fighting ISIS but aren't. Instead of waiting for someone else to come and save them maybe they should get some arms and fight for their own lives and homes.
And the results will be reflected come early this coming November.
Gosh, it sure would be nice to have a President who had some experience with the military. You know, maybe us Americans should vote for someone to be our Commander-In-Chief who has some experience with the military. Let’s see.....Hillary Clinton......no experience with the military.
Bombing not getting desired results? Time for MORE BOMBS! More until all of Syria looks like Verdun in 1917—or Berlin in 1945.
Like Satan is an idiot.
Didn’t y’all get the memo?? There’s nothing islamic about them.
Obama commands all bombing and he plans to bomb them where they’re not
