Recently, the Kurdish Peshmerga won a major victory against the Islamic State group in northern Syria, taking back a town known as Tal Abyad.
Amazingly, the Obama administration took credit for this hard-fought victory, even though it had next to nothing to do with it.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the Kurdish victory was actually a direct consequence of an earlier military operation that President Obama ordered to break the siege of the Syrian city of Kobani last fall.
This laughable claim was quickly shot down by the Kurds themselves, who stated that they could have taken the town back much more quickly and more efficiently if they had been properly equipped with modern weapons and supplies, instead of the Islamic State group.
What America has given to Iraq in the past, what Iraq borrowed from Russia and U.S., ISIS has, said Peshmerga commander Kemal Kerkuki. They are using many, many mines, C4, TNT, snipers, mortars. They have Humvees, they have tanks, they have different kinds of weapons.
President Barack Obama has sent all aid to Iraq directly to Baghdad, where the Iraqi Army and government procure the best of the lot for themselves, only to abandon it on the battlefields when they flee in the face of approaching Islamic State militants.

THWAP!
Obama, in his White Mosque, abetted by Boehner
and McConnell and McCain,
has ARMED al QAeda, created and armed ISIS,
and has brought incurable diseases and illegals to the
USA while he released all the murderers, rapists and
criminals.
The GOP has in this time attacked TEA Party
and conservatives through McCain and the IRS,
and then protected the IRS.
The Karma is that America now seeks its own destruction
of its Constitution and People.
Sometimes the needed smackdown comes from the most unlikely places...
How does one get to read the article? When I do the link I am confronted by flashing ads with no turnoffs. All I get of the article is the headline.
The conservative tribune is the absolute worst when it comes to the ads. Nothing wrong with the articles but damn.
OF COURSE Obama will not do anything, esp. send our aid to the Kurds directly.
He (more likely, Jarrett et al.) has no intention of fighting IS. The goal he pretended was to ‘contain’ them. Now he couldn’t even be bothered to pretend any more.
Ping
Benghazi gun running and elsewhere armed the Sunni Moslem terrorists with weapons that are illegal for Americans to own [ including rockets that shot down the Jordanian pilot].
He refuses to arm Kurds, Christians , or other non Moslems.
I have some ad blockers (forgot which one or ones I used). It blocked a lot of those you mentioned, but alas, not all.
Also depends on which site I visit, too. Sometimes I simply couldn’t load a page, it just hung there. (For me, it is Townhall)
I hope he’s listening. After all, he didn’t build those weapons or fight that war.

No problem seeing the whole article. No ads or popups at all.
