US military aircraft conduct strike on ISIL artillery. Artillery was used against Kurdish forces defending Erbil, near US personnel.
The Muslim Brotherhood owns President Obama, and Hillary Clinton for that matter.
If the Muslim Brotherhood drops a dime on either of those two, it's treason time for both of them
They’ve already theatened, IIRC.
Makes sense.
Screw the artillary. Hit the savages that pull the triggers.
Fell free to ping we with any important updates from CNN. I’m stuck in a cubicle all day with just Internet connection.
“Where did they get training from?”
Deserters and others from various militaries.
Okay.... I bounce between FOX and CNN during these type events. I agree with others.... you gotta listen past the politics on CNN. They’re saying Obammy is preparing to send congress a war powers document.
Already happened.
The Kurds have very old weapons, maybe an old Russian tank or two, and are very low on ammo. ISIS has our weaponry and tons of ammo. I agree blowing ISIS off the face of the earth is what’s needed, but it will also likely take boots on the ground to do so. Let the Kurds be those boots.
What time does the balloon go up?
Sounds more like “We’ve got to do something to protect our phoney-baloney jobs.”
We just buried an assassinated General that was in Afghanistan and now this.
Gee I’m sure glad Obama ended them wars.
A 155 is a pretty big gun (6+ inches). It has a kill radius of 50 yards (50% of everyone within 50 yards of the blast center dies) and a range of about 15 miles. I like 8 inch guns better but I don't think the USA uses 8 inch guns any more. 155 is our biggest artillery piece.
Yes. In many ways, US domestic ‘health’ (generally) is very connected to US foreign policy, actions and results. In turn affecting other nations globally. Hope good eventually comes out this mess.
I enjoy Erin Burnetts reporting on CNN.
About damn time President ZERO stopped voting present and did something. Unfortunately, well after many Christians and peaceful Kurds died.
Probably a bad idea to put that out in the open.

IS Caliphate got 52 of our howitzers with a lot more equipment already mentioned by earlier posts on this thread.
This concept of friending locals to overthrow stable govs and providing mischief to create protests is tearing the world apart. For all of those reasons, let the mideast figure it out. Let change be at the ballot box...and not fiascos like Ukraine, Egypt and Libya after overthrowing a gov.
I suspect that the solution would be Syria, Lebanon, the Kurds and Turkey all have an interest in stability. All four govs protect Christians. But instead we let Saudi Arabia set US foreign policy....for heaven's sake, they provided the 911 terrorists and are not the friends of our Christian-based civilization. How did the US ever get involved in overthrowing stable govs that kept Christians and other minorities safe? It's insane.
