News coming out of Kobani is silent. I feel sick thanking about what that actually means.

More tragic waste of brave human's lives under Obama.

0bama doesn’t give a hoot. The ONLY reason we’re even bombing is to give him political cover.
No one or no country should count on us while his regime is in power.

Western States are only interested in their own domestic affairs. They mostly think that if they help the Islamists take over the Middle East, the Muslims will go home and leave them alone.

In that neck of he woods? A little genocide of mass proportions every hundred years is becoming a tradition.

May God have mercy on those poor souls. The Psalms were written for times like these.

The UN is calling for a conference on the matter in Bermuda some time next month.

Turkey is NOT a friend of America or Americans. It is led by an ardent Islamist who I’m sure wants to return Turkey to the “glory days” of its time as leader of the Islamic Caliphate.

There is NO Muslim that is Truly a friend of the Western world. And I do mean not a single true Muslim.

This is all because Obama is hellbent on overthrowing Assad, and keeping Turkey, a NATO member, who has been helping I.S., appeased. Disgusting!

Erdogon in Turkey himself says the PKK (the Kurds militia) are no better than ISIS. Turkey has no problem seeing the Kurds massacred.

Typical M-E game of letting one’s opponents kill each other.

They are fighting with normal weapons, whereas the ISIS has got tanks and mortars,” Staffan de Mistura, the UN’s special envoy for Syria, said.

AFAIK, Obama never allowed any meaningful arming of the Kurds, staying with the idiotic notion that all arms to what was once Iraq had to go through that 'dependable' government in Baghdad.

The thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of displaced persons largely due to Obama's stupidity and incompetence continue to add up, with no end in sight.

Turkey is watching ISIS slaughter Kurds across the border and in Kobani as a way for Turkey to have a “”solution” to the Kurdish “problem” in an innocent hands off manner. Once the Kurds are eliminated, Turkey will act against the 21st Century savages

“... With limited resources, the Kurds have had to improvise. Boras recalled on one occasion packing a truck tire with explosives and then rolling it down the hill toward Islamic State fighters, destroying a machine gun post.”

why are the people who have managed to fight off two super powers suddenly helpless against a few morons with pickup trucks?

We shall not worry about ISIS until we see their black flag flying over the white hut.

Erdogan and the Kurds at Kobani is just like Stalin and the Polish Home Army before Warsaw.

This is happening as Obama wants. He could have just declared a free-fire zone for any and all tanks, artillery or other military equipment in the ISIS area, especially US equipment. Instead, he bombed a few refineries and other things that might have an impact in a year or two.

Had ISIS been limited to hand held weapons, the Kurds would have stood a chance. Neither Obama nor the Turks wanted the Kurds to win.
