We will know when Russia is winning, because ISIS will be demanding a truce/cease fire.

Islamists typically do that when they need time to rearm and get reinforcements.

Putin seems to be using real weapons, while Obama was just having our military do fly-overs.

Well for starters, to give them an excuse to go into Syria in order to secure the right of way for the Qatar/Saudi gas lines to Europe.

As much as we should not believe everything the Russians say, I think there is more truth here than anything the obama administration is saying. I think that obama has been lenient with ISIS because it is Iran’s para-military arm to destabilize the entire middle east. While Russia is a business partner with Iran, it also has long tern business and strategic relationship with Syria.

We could have done this but it would have been you know disproportional...

We used the fear of "Collateral Damage" excuse.-Tom

It will be very embarrassing for the US (not, unfortunately, only an embarrassment to the idiot with the woman’s hand up his butt) if Russia wipes them out in a week or two. Someone else may be holding “the worlds’ only superpower” crown in the eyes of the world by the end of the month, true or not. Pooty-poot really thought this out well, and it’s only going to cost him the price of a large military exercise.

If this is true then it goes to show Obama never tried to do anything to harm ISIS. Which wouldn’t surprise me.

“We will know when Russia is winning, because ISIS will be demanding a truce/cease fire.”

They probably won’t bother, Russia knows that one too.

You mean the purpose of the military is not to kill people and break things? The Russians need to get with the times. The enemy just needs jobs (Harf Harf Harf).

If ISIS’s destruction can be substantiated then everyone can be certain once and for all who’s team Obama plays for.

When they say that Russia is bombing CIA back rebels 95% of the time it's because 95% of ISIS members were trained by the CIA, armed by the CIA, and used by Obama to establish his muslim caliphate.

Wake up America! Obama is a muslim radical and the people with old money and those with new big money don't think of themselves as Americans first. A billionaire in New York has more in common with a Saudi sheik than he does with his neighbors down the street and he probably visits London and Paris than he does Denver or Seattle.

Obama loves and has killed for his country also..just not the USA

Being POTUS is only a job to him, a means to an end, and his heart lies with the Caliphate.

If the CIA created ISIS, what was the purpose.

My theory is it is inline with the west's (and Saudi's) desire for a pipeland from M.E. oil fields to Europe. It's in Russia's interest to block it and maintain control of Europe's energy supplies.

As for you president and Iran, I think it has more to do with an unsettling, deep hatred for America and all Christain believers.

How did we manage to hit a hospital? I thought our officials said that Russia was using dumb bombs.

“If the CIA created ISIS, what was the purpose. I haven’t found the answer to this question.”

The Qatar/Saudi pipeline to Europe.
That is what Syria is ALL about. And Ukraine is part of it.

ISIS was created to help overthrow an already unstable Syria.

All you have to know is what happened in Libya, to know that the Obamunists tried it again in Syria.

Agree to a point. It's obvious that our guys were held back though - no doubt in my mind about that.

More from the article:

"Now obviously one must consider the source here, but Kremlin spin tactics aside, one cannot help but be amazed with the pace at which this is apparently unfolding. If any of the above is even close to accurate, it means that Russia is on schedule to declare victory over ISIS (and everyone else it looks like) in a matter of weeks, which would not only be extremely embarrassing for Washington, but would also effectively prove that the US has never truly embarked on an honest effort to rid Syria of the extremist groups the Western media claims are the scourge of humanity."
