Is Obama's red line about to be crossed in the opposite direction?

Of course they're always on alert.

I don't think IS would even get close penetrating Israeli border with all these eyes watching...

A scorecard won’t even help sitting out that mess. Sounds like mad max warfare.

The author sees this as a conspiracy to draw in an intervention:

And once the black flag-waving bogeymen (who at that juncture may begin to realize that they were nothing more than an unfortunate side-effect of failed foreign policy and had been shuffled around like pawns on a chessboard only to be promptly removed from the game once they served their purpose) are driven from the capital by some farce of a “coalition,” they’ll be replaced with someone more sensible

The upshot: Assad out, ISIS out, control of Syria under complaisant Iranian tools contested by Saudi tools, with the remnants of ISIS contesting the whole thing from the outside. It would take monumental arrogance and stupidity for a government to step into that fiasco. And the 0bama administration is quite up to that.

Would that be the ISIS that Obama described as the junior varsity?

Looks like Iran and Russia, despite all of their talk, are losing in Syria to a mob of renegade gremlins. IS has shown some the most extreme ignorance of public affairs tactics usually necessary for winning wars. Many nations have bombed them and left them for dead, while more retarded gremlins run to join them. The area of chaotic operations appears to be a black hole of disposal for an assortment of baddies from various sides.

A guerrilla doing some anti-tank work. Quite a few other links to videos of light anti-tank work on the side of the page—satchel charges, light anti-tank weapons, etc.

Here’s another one with quite a few successful jobs on tanks.

One of the things I was trained to do way back when for our U.S. military, so it was somewhat interesting.

That’s a mine at about 1:13 in the second video.

I thought there were only about 20,000 hard core ISIS fighters, how can they be causing so much chaos. /s

Don’t worry folks. The UN will come in to save the day by somehow blaming Israel for this and impose massive fines and sanctions upon them. /s The UN is a worthless and useless money grabbing group of tyrants with blinders on. The foxes are guarding the henhouse there.

"The world is also now waking up to the very real possibility that ISIS may move to topple the Assad regime and take control of Damascus"

The JV team.

“This message came to me concerning Damascus: ˜Look, Damascus will disappear! It will become a heap of ruins. The cities of Aroer will be deserted. Sheep will graze in the streets and lie down unafraid. There will be no one to chase them away. The fortified cities of Israel will also be destroyed, and the power of Damascus will end. The few left in Aram will share the fate of Israel’s departed glory,’ says the Lord Almighty” (Isaiah 17:1-3, NLT).

Starts with some hits from anti-tank weapons. Looks like some video from the FSA point of view and some from the SAA point of view.

Obama says that ISIS is just a JV outfit. That's all anyone needs to know about this situation. Now back to the golf course!

This is dangerous, but I bet Obama is cheering. (That will show Bibi.)
