Are the Russian troops fighting also?
Obama has consistently sided withe the wrong factions in the Mid East. He wouldn’t do anything now if ISIS retreated back into Syria.
It is a disgrace that all these innocents deaths could have been prevented if the WH had done what it should have done in the first place, make a decision to fight.
I know Obama wants to lead from behind, but I also know cowardice when I see it.
What happened to the apparent administration requirement that every event must be described as for humanitarian purposes? Shouldn’t the story read: “U.S. combat aircraft destroyed four Islamic State Humvees for humanitarian purposes, four armed vehicles for humanitarian purposes, two of which were carrying anti-aircraft artillery, one fighting position for humanitarian purposes, and one command post for humanitarian purposes”?
Under what authority are these unilateral attacks taking place?
Why are we not using sanctions instead?
Has the UN voted to authorise the strikes?
Is there an immenant threat to the US?
I guess the media only makes these points when the pres has an (R) next to his name.
IS Humvees would be courtesy US supply
