this is a perfect time for someone to hit Raqqa Syria with a small nuke , just really waste them ....
The article mentions that Kurds have also recaptured Sinjar, the main town of the Yazidis.
Also interesting, the Kurds reported that ISIS had been running out of good troops recently in Kobani, and were sending more green recruits and even kids into the guns to be killed. They finally pulled out hastily, abandoning some weapons and supplies. ISIS might be focusing elsewhere, or they could be getting stretched everywhere.
They have been bleeding on several fronts, and it looks like they will have to defend Mosul this Summer from a large deliberate assault. They could be in for a mass casualty exercise there.
Leo: I like the way you think re “to hit Raqqa with a small nuke”. Would certainly get rid of a problem and ISIS’s headquarters.
Maybe we can sing “Rockin’ the Raqqa” (re “Rockin’ the Casbah”) or an even older song (and one of my favorites), Bobby Day’s “Rockin’ Robin”, i.e, “Rockin’ Raqqa”.
Then again, John Lee Hooker had it right too, in his “Boom, Boom, Boom!”
Or, as the Persh Merga said to ISIS at Kobani, “Hit the Road Jack, and Don’t Come Back No More, No More, Hit the Rock Jack, and Don’t Come Back No More!”
Toby Keith was more direct to Sadam Hussein, “we’ll put a boot up your ass”, and did. The last time we were allowed to win anything.
Obama’s favorite songs have the word “YELLOW” in them, as in “Mellow Yellow” and retreating down the “Yellow Brick Road”.
We should paint a Yellow Streak right down the middle of the White House to show the world what Obama really stands for.
I’d call him a “surrender monkey” but I don’t want to insult monkeys who will fight for territory and to protect their women from aggressors.
Hummm! “Surrender Monkey” and “Yellow Bananas” re Obama. I think I’m on to something. Now what could that be?
