In the meantime, Isis is just an hour away from Baghdad - with no sign of Iraq army being able to make a successful counter-attack

Where are the air strikes there?

I guess Force Obama just missed their target!

Iraq and Syria will both fall to ISIS. That’s the plan.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

The number of ways this operation goes well versus the number of ways it goes badly is about 1 in 10, and with this POTUS, about 1 in 20.

How do you tell the difference?

ISIS exists as a vehicle for removing Assad. We need to get rid of Assad, King Hussain of Jordan and at least threaten the Sauds before we can justify the launch of World War 3 in the Middle East. The so-called Free Syrian Army is a phony moderate beard for ISIS. This provides cover for us to remove Assad.

Russia is the wild card. When our proxies ISIS and the FSA get close to Damascus (with our help), what will Putin do?

Of course, there are no moderate rebels. All rebel groups that are supportd by the Sultan in Washington will contribute to ISIS’s cause. All weapons to any Moslem groups, outside of the Kurds for the time being, will go to the Caliphate project and to Islamization of all men.

A great question: Where are the air strikes around Baghdad?

ISIS Fighter Calls US Air Strikes Totally Ineffective
Business Insider ^ | 09/30/2014 | Jeremy Bender

In an exclusive interview with CNN, a Syrian fighter with the group known as the Islamic State or ISIS said they were prepared for US airstrikes within Syria and the damage done against the organization was ineffective.

A Syrian ISIS fighter operating under the pseudonym Abu Tahla told CNN through Skype that the US and coalition airstrikes within Syria were expected.

“We’ve been ready for this for some time,” Abu Talha said. “We know that our bases are known because they’re tracking us with radars and satellites, so we had backup locations.”

The ISIS headquarters that were targeted were emptied out, and ISIS fighters moved their supplies into civilian neighborhoods or buried them underground before the airstrikes came, the fighter said.

Abu Tahla taunted the interviewers about recent US strikes against ISIS oil refineries, noting that ISIS had other avenues of income besides oil sales. Abu Tahla also said that even if the US managed to push ISIS back in Iraq, it managed to advance in Syria.

Concerningly, Abu Tahla’s remarks are echoed by the situation on the ground. Despite airstrikes, ISIS has advanced almost completely to the Turkish border in northern Syria. Only the Kurdish city of Kobane remains defiant to ISIS aggression, although the Kurds defending the city are thoroughly outgunned by the recent jihadist advance.
