I bet their targeting is going to be more robust than ours.

They probably won’t care if a mosque or wedding party gets hit either.

Nope. So much for this administration’s “Arab Spring” projects.

According to Fox News Channel, a Russian Lt. General went to the US embassy in some ME country and warned the US not to fly in Syria.

Obama will be upset... the Soviet Union will destroy everything he has worked so hard to build.

Some one correct me if I am wrong. It wasn't great, but wasn't Assad 'somewhat' protecting Christians in Syria, much moreso than they see under ISIS?
And, also, weren't a good portion of those Christians some variety of Orthodox....not Russian Orthodox...but orthodox?

0bama thought about going to Congress for authorization to bomb in Syria, but only when he wanted to bomb Assad on behalf of ISIS.

General to fly-boys:
“If you don’t find your target, just go to Raqqa and unload your weapons anywhere in town. It’s their H.Q.”

Now Fox is saying the Russians aren't bombing who they claim they are. Ralph Peters says Russia is not bombing the Islamic state like he's saying but others opposed to Assad. Peters said Putin is propping up the Shia in the ME that hate the U.S. And side with Russia.

I wonder if Syria can deal with ISIS if the other elements are out of the way. Could be a better use of Russian resources, who knows.
