Alexei Pushkov, the head of the Russian parliament’s international affairs committee, created a firestorm today when he took to Twitter and said Barack Obama is not bombing ISIS.
Obama admitted in a press conference in the past. Check youtube.
WH walked it back.
“Correct. The French pilots among other “coaltion” partners have stated that the U.S. has not been bombing ISIS. ISIS is Obama’s blood ally. “
What’s so funny is, on a Trump thread last night, the Trump haters were all convinced that Putin wasn’t bombing ISIS either. They didn’t like Trump supporting Putin’s campaign. To be fair, they questioned Putin’s motives but who the hell cares? Putin and Russia are the ones killing ISIS,,not the US and not the Obama administration.
Not that one US journalist will ask about it all.
Interesting times.
We don’t have leadership when the pansy-ass goal was to “degrade and eventually defeat” ISIS. Gen George Patton is spinning in his grave.
“To: cripplecreek
Assad is too secular and perpetuates income inequality too much for Hussein to tolerate. He wants to see the devout “ISIL” redistribute goods and services according to the needs and abilities of the populace.”
Not an Assad supporter by any means here but Syrians should determine what happens in Syria. Syria under Assad was a relatively stable and non-hostile to the West country. Obama Inc foments instability. It’s what they do best. They really don’t care about the outcome because chances are they are accepting payoffs from every side.
A hospital?
The idea of democratic muslim nations is foolhardy at best.
Assad is a bastard but he is a whole lot better than what will replace him.
This is false. Why are you a carrying water for fascist Russia & Death to America Iran on a conservative website?
Oh.
So Soros is trying to make some money again.
Who on Earth thought we were?
That’s why the administration is howling in protest over Russia’s actions. Putin has exposed Obama’s little farce. According to news reports, the Russians have bombed ISIS (yes, ISIS) arms stores, convoys, and command facilities. Why hasn’t the US done that, if they were fighting ISIS? Why?
Instead we get reports of frustrated American and Canadian pilots returning from their missions with their bomb bays all full of bombs they weren’t allowed to drop.
So - it’s the dog that didn’t bark and the bombs that didn’t drop.
Good thread, this can’t be repeated enough.
To be fair, why are you using the NYT hate America and Cover for lying dem socialists as a reliable source on a conservative website?
“The Pentagon has admitted it “helped build ISIS” and armed the group with weapons transferred from Benghazi, Libya.”
While I believe this is what happened, I have not seen the Pentagon admit it.

Why the h is the US supporting Al-Qaeda? The same Al-Qaeda that caused 9-11 (mong other things)?
That is, the Pentagon admits it militarily supports the al-Nusra Islamists, which are an affiliate of Al-Qaeda.
No one has ever asked about this??
If we would have had a Republican president that did his job, we wouldn’t have had an Indonesian even on the ballot in the first place!
That's not the problem. Journalism has always been biased and partisan, and always will be. "Objective" journalism is a lie or a delusion made up by the left who fancy that their own subjective view of things is objective reality. The problem is that instead of a fully adversarial press with newspapers with names like The Waterbury Republican calling out Democrat policy failures, digging up dirt on Democrats, and otherwise trying to make life a living workers paradise for the left, while papers with names like The Press Democrat did the same to the GOP, we have "objective" journalism.
That would be Loretta Fuddy. They claim she's dead. But I don't believe hardly anything outta that punk ass ID thief in chief!
I doubt much at all . To this day no insider of the clintons has spilled his guts. Dems don’t usually rat each other out . Media / Dems .
It will take Trump to rant about this for a week before the media is forced to address it.
Why? Because Bashar Assad is a thug who protects Christians (and doesn’t kow-tow to the Saudi monarchy), and Al-Qaeda is fighting him.
You might notice that hostility toward Christians is a theme with this administration (and hostility toward Eastern Orthodox Christians in particular has strong bipartisan support thanks to John McCain) — from the contraceptive mandate which serves no purpose other than shoving a pointy stick in the eye of the Latin church from which its author Kathleen Sibelius is a latæ sententiæ excommunicated apostate, to the refusal to accept Christian refugees asylum claims, to the public pronouncements on the Oregon shooting which (unlike one issued by the Kremlin) do not mention the murder of Christians for being Christians.
