Its just a matter of time before the US State Dept. takes credit for this victory and thanks Obama for his leadership.

This victory was a long time coming

I hope that some of the historic sites have not been damaged beyond repair.

I recall, back when we had president Clinton, when the Taliban were threatening to destroy some ancient statues of Buddha in Afghanistan. American college students, showing a level of worldliness and sophistication outdone only by today’s college students, engaged in a letter-writing campaign begging the Taliban to spare the statues. Of course, the Taliban took great glee in destroying the statues and disseminating pictures of the rubble.

I’m not sure if the Taliban morphed into Isis, or if Isis is a completely separate group. Either way, the goal to kill innocents and destroy priceless artifacts is a feature of Islamists. This is why the Islamists must be destroyed.

I saw an article last night about a woman raised as a Muslim, who was mutilated the way they mutilate little girls, and who went on to renounce Islam when she was 30. She said that the only real option for peace with Islam is to utterly destroy it in order to make room for a modern, civilized Islam to take hold. I cannot disagree.

thank you Syria and Russia.

“Syrian and Russian jets were targeting Islamic State fighters as they fled, hitting dozens of vehicles on the roads leading east from the city.”

That’s against the rules! No fair! We let the convoys freely move from town to town, that’s how we have always done it. Its a tradition, we even gave them a fleet of Toyotas for it. That’s it, they aren’t going to be allowed into the USAF effort now.

I wonder if they gave them a leaflet warning to abandon their vehicles before the bumbing like we did with the highway of death.

ISIS is growing increasingly vulnerable to collapse.

From Palmyra, Deir ez Zour is vulnerable, to cut off the Euphrates River rat line. The Kurds are in striking distance to the North of Deir ez Zour.

The Northern supply route to Turkey is only about fifty miles wide, and the regime and the Kurds have a similar tightening from East and West.

When those doors close on ISIS, it will all be over in Syria, except to bleed out.

Things could go faster, but they all seem to be going against ISIS in Syria.
