Just breaking... More to come.

Good luck finding any. My government tells me ISIS is decimated in Iraq, and are contained.
“Good luck finding any. My government tells me ISIS is decimated in Iraq, and are contained.”
Now that the French are using RUSSIAN INTEL, and not Obama’s, I’ll bet they suddenly find PLENTY of things to bomb.
and Obama is on a World Tour Vacation
The French do a few things right. One is that when they decided to experiment with socialism, they at least chose a socialist who loves their country. We were foolish to try socialism at all, but to try it with a man who hates America is the dumbest decision made by voters in American history.
Article up now:
Hollande orders escalation of anti-IS strikes in Iraq as well as Syria

Obama is going to have a hissy fit.
The US has been “bombing” ISIS in Syria since September of last year.
I don’t know if they hit anything yet
One hospital and 100 broken-down oil tankers parked near the border.
Hollande seems to get it. 0 doesn’t.
Next target Mosul,..
Obama, on the other hand, uses crises as wedges to further divide.
Notice France is also cracking down on BitCoin and "anonymous transfers" today...because of "terrorism." All a smokescreen.
I just can’t find words to properly say, that the French, yes the FRENCH, are coming in to mop up after our sorry asses. It’s bad enough the Russians stepping in, but the French? It is soooooooooooo embarrassing.
When I say sorry asses, I am not demeaning our armed forces, I saying it as a huge put down to our government from the prez, the congress and anyone else responsible for the creation of this mess. It will take decades for this mess to be resolved, if ever.
And to think people like Hitlery, one of the mess creators, stands a chance of being elected.
I seriously considered joining it after my first hitch in the Army. I was quite gung ho.
Now that the French are using RUSSIAN INTEL, and not Obama’s, I’ll bet they suddenly find PLENTY of things to bomb.

I think it’s pretty pathetic watching people like Josh Earnest, when asked why at this point, there is anything left to bomb (all those previous US strikes Omuslim has been bragging about to “contain & degrade” don’t ‘cha know), immediately do a monologue on how the French are using US coordinates, intel, etc. When asked again, if we have the coordinates, why is there anything left for the French to bomb, he was off and running about how “targets develop over time”. Old Josh talks really fast and in such a way as to keep the interviewer(s) from asking more questions, and does his best to run out the clock.
Bottom line, Omuslim has been avoiding bombing his Sunni buddies.
We are hitting things. But the campaign has been lukewarm, at best. I know. But taking out snipers, heavy equipment, and mortar tubes with expensive bombs isn’t a strategic air campaign. Taking out those oil trucks the other day was the type of thing we should have been doing for day one. Going after their command and control, their communications, their logistics, their propaganda sites...these would be targets that’d make a difference. Obama wants to end ISIS without anyone but an ISIS official getting hurt. That’s not going to work.
My, my, how quickly things change!
