Mehmud Berxwedan, the YPG Kobanê General in Command, has said: “After a one-month resistance we have launched a step-by-step advance towards victory. In the last week in particular Kobanê has become a graveyard for ISIS.”
YPG Kobanê Commander Mahmut Berxwedan spoke to Ronahi TV. He said that, as watched by the world, Kobanê had resisted for 32 days, adding that they were now close to victory. Berxwedan emphasised that the Kobanê resistance had begun in the villages, where there had been a great resistance from house to house, hamlet to hamlet and from village to village. He added that for 10 to 15 days there had now been resistance on the southern and eastern fronts, adding: “ISIS corpses are in the streets and in every house. We have made a great advance on all three fronts in the last 3 days. Every day we are killing them and seizing their weapons. There is now a clean-up operation going on in Kobanê.”

Berxwedan:
"Kobanê is a place of resistance and victory. It doesn’t matter what anyone says, they should come and see the reality in Kobanê.”
Context would be nice
Hopefully this isn’t mere bravado.
This is why everyone in the world should have the right to bear arms.
Agree. And why we must never surrender them here.
Sorry, I too often assume everyone is as obsessed as I am with those who will fight to achieve/maintain freedom.
I thought about posting the entire article, but it was copyrighted and I did not without asking.
Grab every rifle, sidearm, live round, RPG. I hope they're capturing live ISIS demons, too. I suspect the Kurds "have ways" to extract the intel they need.
Drive on, Kurds!
Is our government so afraid of Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq that we cannot make that happen? The Kurds are:
(a) Not fanatical Muslims, belonging rather to a syncretic sort of sect that is quite tolerant
(b) They are ferocious allies and very good fighters, unlike the feckless Iraquis
(c)They have more than enough oil in the regions they dominate to support themselves
(d) Most unlike the other Worthy Oriental Gentlemen surrounding them, they actually seem to have the talent to rule themselves in an aboveboard manner
(e) They like us.
Iraq is an artificial country invented by the British in 1916, (they called it the "Empty Lot!) ... and then given to a Hashemite King, as was Jordan to his brother, to compensate the family for the loss of Mecca and Medina to the House of Saud. The Ottomans recognized that the various regions could never get along, and ruled them separately until defeated in WWI.
Iraq? There ain't no such thing! The Turks? They have been kicking Obama's ass ever since the Mombasa MF took office. After the billions we have spent on them, they were of absolutely no help in the region and have no plan to do so in the future. Why worry about them? Syria? They would go for the deal in a heartbeat, if Obama would leave Assad the hell alone instead of supporting the jihadi Christian-Killers who want to overthrow him. Iran? Screw'em. Take their Kurdish Korner and drop a really big JDAM into the Holy Well of Qum and let's get to the bottom of this Shiite Bullshiite. Kurdistan. Let's make a new friend, shall we? Think about it.
(Sept. 25, 2013) Today, Secretary of State John Kerry signed the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty on behalf of the Obama administration. The National Rifle Association strongly opposes this treaty, which is a clear violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“The Obama administration is once again demonstrating its contempt for our fundamental, individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms,”
Before you vote in the November election, see how your congressman/senator voted on the United Nations Small Arms Treaty......Keep Kobanê and her people in your prayers, they still need them.
Kurdish equivalent of Stalingrad......
Iraq, SaudiArabia, and Turkey are not going to be able to put that Kurdish independence genie back in the bottle.
Kudos to the Kurds. Its just too bad that Kobane is now a junkyard of a city.
Action around Kobani, Syria Against ISIS
YPG, as I understand it, is the Kurdish "People (civilian) Defense Group" fighting ISIS. Last report ISIS was retreating headed back into Syria.
No matter. It is a crossroads.
If the kurds don't get weapons to occupy and defend the ruins, ISIS/ISIL will be back!
But it is encouraging to see that the allies are not bothering with puny 1000-lb bombs.
Why does the US not support? They are bought by the Saudi's and Turkey.
Kurdistan. Let's make a new friend, shall we? Think about it.
Bring it on, I am all for it. But Obozo and his masters want no part of that.
Kurds appreciate the support of the air strikes. Especially since they have been allowed to help target it.
They have for many weeks been begging anyone who would supply them for simple arms to help them survive. We did not pony up.
Obozo is reluctant to kill his own beast, ISIS(L).
Ditto to everything.
Great to know ordinary informed Americans can figure it all out, and the First American-African criminally incompetent doofus Fist A*****E can't.
I've come round.
Even if it means making a "victim" out of him, I agree, now. Impeach the S.O.B!!
He's finally using B1s in Syria now. Not-so-little, but hopelessly TOO LATE!!
Reid's Senate in unlikely to vote on that signature until AFTER the elections.
We all need to demand NOW how they intend to vote. A non-response can be assumed to be equivalent to a YES vote.
And we can campaign, convince, cajole and persuade our fellow citizens to vote accordingly.
This is also why many of our present-day legislators do NOT want us to have the right to bear arms.
They can be compared to ISIS.
