I am sure Obama is steamed. This is probably why he hit the links this weekend. To try to forget that he was forced to attack his islamic brotherhood.

I’m actually watching a Kurdish dance right now on youtube. I’ll send him a link :)

God answers prayer....the Kurds needed to put doubt into ISIS so that they aren’t so sure of themselves and as that continues then their losses become more, and then ISIS makes more mistakes and loses more often.
To God be the glory.....
Kobani needed to remain with Kurds.

Thankyou for your prayers. Unfortunately, Erdogan is a stubborn islamist mule, who continues to add fuel to fire with his Ottoman Empire ambitions. Turkey should be kicked out of NATO. And we need to rethink NATO, its members, mission & objectives.

I’d be surprised if there were Americans in Kobane coordinating with the defenders. Kurds have been successfully fighting off stronger Sunni forces than ISIS for a long time. Prior to a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty clear Obama’s pentagon and this joke of a coalition was offering only token air support while they waited for Kobane to be taken and all its occupants massacred while the killers took selfies. It took Leon Panetta blowing the whistle for the air strikes to get serious. Iraq is the only theater the brass cares about.

The Kurds in Kobane are still there and ISIS has not taken it fully so I’m sticking with prayer.

Erdogan is the Turkey Leader and he will get his just desserts soon enough. I understand now the jhadists want Jordan and Lebanon too. That would complete most of the Caliphate in ME, if those nations fail.

I know Christian Lebanese people. Yes, you’re right, they’re after other parts of the M.E., for now. In fact, there were some sporadic clashes between ISIS members, and certain Lebanese groups, including Christians, as far back as June/July this year. Remember, the Kurds warned Obama admin about ISIS as early as January this year, and said so publicly when the fighting started in Iraq in June this year.
