A UN official warned of pending "humanitarian tragedies" and pleaded desperately with the world to intervene on behalf of Kurds trapped in a Syrian city near the Turkish border, as Islamic State fighters stood on the brink of taking it.
Kurds from villages throughout northern Syria have fled to Kobani for a final stand as the terrorist group has marauded across huge swaths of land, leaving a trail of death and destruction. With the city under siege for three weeks, the black-clad fighters have begun to raise their flag over neighborhoods and UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said the city was about to fall.

Because no peace has broken out. They only keep it. When things turn ugly they run like rabbits Iraqi military.

Mainly because a UN peacekeeping force would be less effective than the Iraqi army.

we arent bombing ISIS, we are bombing empty buildings or bombing people who are fighting ISIS
This is intentional, and all the groups that are supposedly opposed to ISIS are opposed to Assad
Obama lied, we are not going against al qaeda

Send in the B-52’s and carpet bomb the whole area. If I were one of those Kurds I would rather take my chances. Better to die in an explosion than suffer beheading.

ISIS slaughters women and children ... this just makes me sick that Turkey stands by and watches the carnage. Meanwhile the Feckless States of America satisfies itself with token pinprick strikes on vacant targets.
Shame.

Why isnt Turkey fighting ISIS if things are so bad? Because ISIS is killing the hated Kurds who are a thorn in the side of Turkey. -Tom
