US-led airstrikes against the Islamic State terrorist group (IS or ISIS) in Syria continue Saturday night, but are failing to slow the jihadis’ advance on the Kurdish border town of Kobane. […]
But though US airstrikes—which President Barack Obama pledged would “degrade and destroy” ISIS—have extended from Iraq to Syria to aid the defense of Kobane, local sources say the strikes have been largely ineffective.
“They struck empty buildings,” YPG’s chief of defense for Kobane, Ismat Sheikh Hassan, told The Independent. “ISIS fighters used to be there, but they left; so they haven’t helped us. If anything, they are now fighting harder to push forward before there are more strikes.” …

Obama is likely terrified that he will hit civilians; his base routed Bush by loudly decrying every civilian hit. If Obama starts killing human shields his base is gone from him forever.
The hot air strikes have stopped the Disapproval Terrorists from crossing the Middle Thirties into the Lower Thirties, and so far the Mid Terms have not been lost. Mom Jeans is on the Seventh Hole honoring himself on a beautiful Saturday fall day Allah made just for Him.
Chris Baker had Ryan Mauro on yesterday; I caught it briefly on my way to work. Mauro was saying that the US needs to help the Kurds out IMMEDIATELY because Muslims interpret success as Allah’s blessing and failure as the opposite. The reason so many are rallying behind ISIS is because they see success there, and as long as we allow ISIS to parade their successes they will continue to grow. They have to be utterly humiliated and their defeat paraded before the world, in order to stop the growth of ISIS.
Unfortunately, Obama seems unwilling to ever do that. I hope and pray that SOMEBODY in the free world will see the need and just do it. These Kurds seem like the real deal to me, as far as I know. They seem to know what they’re up against and seem willing to do what it takes. But they are so outnumbered because the Muslim-in-chief is working against them. Who was it who said that under Obama America has switched sides in the war on terror? Not the American people, but the supposedly “American” regime.
Obama actually hits lots of civilians, with the drone attacks. That’s why a lot of our allies aren’t willing to be allies any more; he hits the wrong people with drone strikes. That is, unless he intended to hit our anti-terror allies...
His base says they give him a pass because he qualifies as a “Black”.
I’ve read that ISIS shifted their techniques once they knew there were airstrikes coming. They’ve dispersed. But that doesn’t explain why Obama won’t hit them when they’re obviously congregated to attack this Kurdish city; seems like anyplace they gather enough fighters to overtake a city it should be like wearing a target on their backs....
But not with this Muslim-in-chief as supposed commander-in-chief.
“And why are they striking empty buildings?”
My guess is that Obama knows they are empty and wants to appear to fight ISIS without actually doing them any harm.
If true—it means we need to launch MORE strikes! Drop larger bombs! 24/7 Only stop to re-fuel and reload—use every rocket we have until they are forced to live underground—then drop bunker busters.
All part of the plan.
0bama doesn’t want to actually kill his Brothers. Just wants to be seen as ‘doing something’.
As a bonus, the ISIS gets to use it as a recruiting tool; “See Allah protects us! The mightiest military on earth can do no more than pinpricks against us. Join the Global Caliphate now.”
And his Pet Perfumed Princes in the Pentagon fly cover for him, figuratively and literally. There a few rebels left with stars on their shoulders or collars there that occasionally tell the truth, but soon after they do, they will be targeted for ousting or assimilation.
“...They struck empty buildings...” that’s why they strike at night - everyone has gone home and no one gets hurt. The first thing I noticed in the AF photo releases was that even the parking lots are empty.
Recall the Balkan war when the Serbs built plywood and cardboard tanks and artillery so that the US bombers at 35,000 feet didn’t know. Lotsa money down the tubes for few results.

The Kabuki war continues apace.
The Obama admin is not serious about fighting the Saudi backed ISIS.
The only reason they want to train Syrian “rebels in Saudi Arabia is to get rid of Assad.
That is about it.

It’s pretty clear to me that the Muslim Barry is approving only targets that will have minimal impact on ISIS and its fighters. It might (hopefully) get to the point that his military advisors will pressure (through leaks, etc.) the “reluctant warrior” Obama to approve strikes that will actually have an impact on ISIS and help our Kurdish friends.
We must never forget that Obama and his Muslim Brotherhood connected advisors will do WHATEVER they can get away with to advance Islamic interests.
Somebody needs to very vocally express it point-blank: that America suspects that Obama is actually our enemy and only sometimes acts like he’s on our side for the sake of “optics”, while actually wasting our money on things he knows will only actually advance the Islamist cause.
Somebody needs to come right out and say the emperor is naked - let him know these fig leaves are not covering his naked arse.
Thus the reason obumbles demanded he personally approve all Syrian targets. One has to wonder how many were suggested but turned down by him. WSe’ll never know.
