BEIRUT Russian warplanes have struck targets deep inside the Islamic States heartland province of Raqqa for the first time, Russias Defense Ministry said Friday.
The strikes were carried out against an Islamic State training camp and a command post near the city of Raqqa, expanding the scope of a three-day old air campaign that had previously focused on attacking rebel groups opposed to the rule of President Bashar al-Assad.

I’m sure he’s been on his prayer mat, pleading to his moon god to strike down the infidels that are attacking his fellow Jihadis.

It's a SAD DAY indeed when a Godless Soviet Communist Atheist like Putin ...
Fights to WIN against the Satanic Islamic Hordes ...
while the President of the United States is more interested in "Buggery" with Boy-Toy "Reggie".

The Nobel Prize Winner is angry and should be embarrassed if he has half a brain. I cannot watch him speak, but I saw stills of his gun violence speech yesterday.
I do not believe the anger was because of the murders, after all they were Christians.

If he doesn’t look like the poster child for a “tweeter” I don’t know who does.
( The word: “Tweeter”, to me, sounds like someone light in the loafers.)

Evidence is piling up that ISIS is indeed our creation - or at least a byproduct that serves our (i.e., Saudi) purposes so well that we don’t really want it destroyed until Assad is toppled.

Russian pilots with low flying hours dropping dumb bombs.
They more likely woke up some gerbils in the desert than hit an ISIS tent.
Who knows, they might have landed one within a kilometer of what they were aiming at.

As I said on another thread: Russians doing the job Kenyans refuse to do.
