ISIS have received heavy bombardment in Palmyra for the second day in a row, a group monitoring the war has said.
The Islamic State-held city of Palmyra was bombed on Friday as Syrian army jets carried out at least 25 air strikes. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it was one of the most sustained government bombardments of Palmyra.
The air strikes killed at least 26 people, including 12 Islamic State fighters, the British-based Observatory said.
On Thursday, Syrian jets had carried out at least 12 air strikes on Raqqa, Islamic State's de facto capital in the north. Elsewhere airstrikes killed 17 people in Idlib, the Observatory said.
The city of Idlib is the base of an alliance of jihadist and Islamist groups calling itself the Army of Conquest.
Syrian forces had started using new types of "very accurate" air and ground weapons supplied by its ally Russia, a source told Reuters.
The possibility of greater military involvement by Russia has alarmed the United States, which is leading a coalition that has been bombing Islamic State strongholds in both Syria and Iraq.
The US government rejects the idea, advocated by Moscow, of cooperating with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to fight Islamic State, and has warned Syria not to interfere in its air campaign.

Sure is a mixed-up world. If anyone can beat ISIS, it now looks like it will be Assad, backed by Putin.
Meanwhile, America spends millions to train five anti-ISIS guys. That's not five divisions, or even five platoons. That's five guys.

So Assad and Putin are the ones defeating ISIS. And, by proxy, Obama...who created them.

That’s probably more air strikes than Obama did
in his whole campaign against ISIL or S or what ever.

US is clearly on the side of the ISIS terrorists,helping them depose the Syrian government led by Assad.
Russia is increasingly in the mix, supporting the Syrian government, and fighting back against the ISIS terrorists.
Obama is terribly upset by this.

The scary thing is our muslim loving leader, as cowardly as he is, might do battle with Russia to protect his caliphate.
I could be Very Wrong. Hope I am.

And wait until one of Putin’s flyboys gets shot down and burned alive by ISIS on YouTube. Vlad will lead the Russki paratroops after that.
To: SeekAndFind
LOL. The phrase “five guys” rang a bell with me, aside from Obama’s crack anti-ISIS team. I just couldn't place it. Thanks for solving that little mystery!

So why are we helping the enemy of ISIS, Iran ( a friend of the Assad government ) ease their path towards:
1) Receiving over $100 Billion
2) Developing nukes
