merican airstrikes against ISIS targets are under way in Syria, according to a Pentagon official.
"I can confirm that U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL [ISIS] terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles," Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said.
"Given that these operations are ongoing, we are not in a position to provide additional details at this time.

We will provide more details later as operationally appropriate."

All this does is further radicalize other elements. That’s all intervention in the Mideast ever does.
Does O want to piss off Putin?
Cant see this ending well.
How is that justification for attacking Syria (obviously I know the terrorists live there)...is there some vital US interest at stake?
