Time to stop. No sense in helping Muslims. NONE.

If they happen to be enemies of Western civilization I am not particularly concerned about their concerns.

Smoke and mirrors. At least this news indicates and some of Assad-bound bombs fell on Al-Qaeda instead.

Not to worry rebels. Dear Leader feels your pain and he’s send more arms, ammo, and money to ease your grief. Feel better now? I thought so. Remember, he’s in this jihad with you.

The bottom line is that any Muslim with a gun would kill as many Americans as he could. For the US to arm “moderate” Muslims is lunacy.

Not to worry, brave Arab Spring rebels, Obama has your back, and only your best interests at heart.

As if I give a damn. When we blow up Islamic terrorists, the world becomes a safer place.

I originally called this one wrong. I thought Obama would target Assad (assets).

The have been no reports of anything striking near Assad that I am aware of.

However there are several reports that Obama communicated all the targets and trajectories to the Syrian and Iranian ambassadors. Also, Putin demanded Obama ask Assad's permission to deploy ordinance in Syria, and Assad stated that he endorsed and supported the targeting of terrorists in Syria by the international community.

This add up to Obama asking permission, off the record, and Obama supplying Syria and Russia with the target list.

Both Assad and Putin checkmated Obama in advance of the operation, just like the last time. That's why no Assad targets were hit.

Two of the buildings shown in the BDA looked like no one was home. There didn’t seem to be any cars around. If our so called “allies” had any knowledge of US targets..you can be sure that they received a warning to clear out.
With so many fractions involved this is sure to be a fustercluck.

Collateral damage is hard to avoid when it is buildings, not convoy’s on the move.

I agree. There should be air strikes for both Khorasan and Assad’s forces. Neither side should feel left out.

From studying 13 centuries of Muslim history, the only Muslims we can live with are dictators who are not religious fanatics.

Shah of Iran, Mubarak, Saddam, Assad, King of Jordan, etc kept the fanatics in check. Now ewe are paying the price for ignoring history.

Removing Assad will open Syria up for Muslim Brotherhood. Very dumb policy.

Bashar Assad was referred to as a “reformer” by Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton before the “Arab Spring” uprisings against secularist military governments in Egypt, Libya and Syria, encouraged by Obama and Europe. How well did that turn out in Egypt and Libya for the Coptic Christians and the US Ambassador?
As far as I can see, the secular Assad regime had lived in peace with Syrian minority Alawites, Shiites, Kurds, and Christians - only becoming brutal toward those who had risen up to overthrow Assad. Wouldn’t any nation, “kill its own people” if they rise up in armed opposition to the government? Didn’t Ukraine kill Ukranian civilians in shelling Donetsk?
Islamic radical terrorists, seeking a global Caliphate, massacre, rape and enslave peaceful “infidels” and are more of a threat to the West and freedom than Bashar Assad.

I think the Community Organizer in Chief should back off on the hardline “Assad Must Go” rhetoric and urge negotiations with Assad for the fight against ISIS, a truce with his secular opposition, stopping actions against civilians, and reducing the Assad regime support for Hezbollah and Iran.

And leaving him in will help Iran. So we should be fair, and help both sides to destroy each other.

New world order had to sacrifice some of it’s workerbees to make the world believe that the “rebels” and “ISIL” fighters are not backed by new world order.

“There, see, America bombed them, so they can’t be trained and supplied by the West”

It’s not so much a bombing campaign as a PR campaign.

And it puts Republicans in the position of having to support the attacks, because, er, well, Republicans are supposed to support all US attacks on anything.

Certainly Democrats don’t care and will vote Democrat always, so the attacks aren’t relevant to them.

Of course, as the “rebels” are wounded in action and need hospital care, they get sent to Israel for medical care - since they work for the West.

Someone apparently forgot to make an enormous PR campaign of Israel getting front-page New York Times coverage all year about being fearful that ISIL is going to destroy Israel. I mean, they do want the “caliphate” and all, and they do “say” they want to “destroy Israel”. Should not Israel be working 24x7 with their intel services, their military, diplomatically, etc., to get “ISIL” stomped out and destroyed long before now ???

NWO has a complete dismantling/reshuffling of the Middle East scheduled over the coming decades to keep the sheeple of American scared of terror and taxed to death (of course, ultimately disarmed immoral eunuchs), the oil and drugs flowing in the east and eventually the new world order-ization of the sheeple of the Mideast.
