Leader of US-backed “Tajamu Alezza” confirms that his group was targeted by Russian airstrikes...

US shouldn’t be there to begin with...their soul purpose is using whatever group will rid the nation of Assad....at this point most fighting there are ‘ALL’ terrorists.....the New Syrian Army has left long ago.....Russia’s simply clearing the deck of this scum there...and needs to.

Comparing a dictatorship under Putin to our Republic under Obama is nonsensical. Big, big differences. Obama is leaving the WH in 15 months. Do you doubt that?

“We are not attacking Assad now with our air strikes. They are being conducted against ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Russia conducted airstrikes today in Syria against non-ISIS enemies of Assad.:

Not true. We are flying in support of FSA, not targeting ISIS.

This is what has Kerry and Obama so upset.....They are not willing to abandon the US presence and withdraw our secret forces that are assisting the assaults on Assad.

Well that’s all about having to explain body bags......keep in mind Russia’s leadership made it clear they were going in...to please pull out our guys.....in the air as well as ground.

There’s nothing in Syria but terrorists now....the New Syrian Army was taken over long ago....

"(at least not Obama's interests)"

That's my point.

Obama has, unilaterally, sided with the Saudi's and Gulf Arab states in the ouster of Assad.

Obama has not sought or received authorization from the US Congress for this policy, nor the means by which to carry it out.

He would not receive such authorization.

“Destroying ISIS” is not a strategy. ISIS is a symptom of America’s failure in the Middle East due to Obama’s incompetence or malfeasance, dependent on one’s view. Either way, money would be better spent securing our borders and denying all Muslims entry to the country.

This sick game of creating humanitarian “crises” to extort the west to accept terrorists is disgusting. This didn’t start with Obama, but it may end when he first city goes up in smoke.

You need to get your facts straight. Operation Inherent Resolve--The president has authorized U.S. Central Command to work with partner nations to conduct targeted airstrikes of Iraq and Syria as part of the comprehensive strategy to degrade and defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL.

“MAke no mistake....Russia is indeed blasting ISIS and other terroists group.....”

Well, the Russians have been saying, PUBLICLY, for two weeks that they were going to go after “Obama’s Terrorists” in Syria.

I must have missed the news flash of the military coup in Russia. They are supposed to have elections just like in this “Republic” you keep referring to.

Are their leaders not elected? Does the UN know about this?

Another difference is that Putin loves his country while Obama does not love the USA.

This is in co-operation with Russia.....the news being spread now is for all leaders to save face....but all are going after terrorists.

There are no sides except ISIS and Terrorists against the Worlds coalitions against them.

He needs to be removed from office and prosecuted for his actions... we can’t afford this “run out the clock” strategy. We may not survive. Plus, it encourages more traitors to pursue their life of political treason.

Those who seek the office of president (or any public office), should be terrified of the penalties for even a hint of incompetence, breach of trust, or political subterfuge.

Right now, they see any government job as a form of the “get out of jail free” card.

“Whether they were trying to keep things on the down low or they were simply trying to avoid delays, the Russians successfully showed the world their ability to quickly and freely mobilize a powerful armada across a long distance, the same way the US deploys its advanced fighters around the world.”

“Interestingly, the entire operation was closely monitored by the Israeli Air Force. Israeli G550 Shavit ELINT (Electronic Intelligence) aircraft and G550 “Nachson-Eitam” CAEW (Conformal Airborne Early Warning) aircraft, which are sort of a mini version of the US surveillance AWACS aircraft, could be seen on Flightradar24, circling off the coast of Lebanon to gather intelligence on the deployment well before the first Russian aircraft lined up for their nice group photo on the tarmac at Latakia.”

"Benghazi worked so well for them they thought they would try it again."

Benghazi was just a casualty in the greater secret war against Syria and Assad.

The European Refugee crisis and ISIS are also both byproducts of that failed policy.

Funny, but US law says only CONGRESS can authorize such action. The Pres does not have the authority.

Very nice of you to point out yet another illegal act by 0bama.

Putin does not love his country. He loves himself. No patriot would rob their country of $50 billion & then build giant palaces for himself as Putin has done.
