The officials running our military are dangerous and inept. That, or they are islamist.

So... the US breaks the ceasefire agreement... way to diminish our credibility on the world stage.

And the election is still close, between an idiot who was completely complicit in the current mess in the Middle East, and a businessman who thinks the best use of the military is for deterrence. Of course I trust the businessman to pursue peace—war is not good for resort and golf course business.

Liberals only give lip service to peace, but could not care less about it when it gets in the way of their agenda.

Obama & the Pentagon are on a campaign to get every Syrian Christian killed. Their campaign is going well.

"A U.S. military official said he was "pretty sure" targets mistakenly hit in the coalition strikes were Syrian forces."

They can say "oops" afterwords but in the mean time the air-strikes helped the same people the US arms so who believes it was a mistake ?

Notice that this US attack on the Syrian army today is being reported in the UK/French media, but not the US media.

I was thinking the same thing.

Friendly fire or an Obama trick?

"We are reaching a really terrifying conclusion for the whole world: That the White House is defending Islamic State. Now there can be no doubts about that," the RIA Novosti news agency quoted Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying.

And we broke our own cease fire in the process.

I did check Google news, and I see the U.S. outlets have picked up on it.

What it is is treason, and what it is is making the likely election results moot.

Why is it that when U.S. targets ISIS there is extensive analysis and tight ROE??

BS story Pentagon is pushing. Pilgrims, face it, your government and military is on the side of jihadis, once again. Better enjoy the last vestiges of Western Christian civilization while you have it.
