[boycott]

Time for one of the administration’s strongly worded statements.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

All talk. Talk talk talk. Truth is we couldn’t do anything about it if we wanted to because the Obama Admen. has gutted our military.

[House Atreides]

Well, Mr. Secretary, do you have any concerns about the Turkish air attacks not only NOT targeting ISIS but actually targeting the folks who are fighting ISIS on the ground (the Kurds)?

Of course you don’t because the Obama regime is not truly interested in defeating ISIS.

[Fido969]

What an idiot.

[dontreadthis]

[SaveFerris]

[we’re concerned obviously if that is not what is happening,” Kerry said]

So much for the O-backed rebels? Not gonna go quite the same as Libya and Egypt?

[Calpublican]

Uh oh, they’re “concerned.”

This is getting serious.

[Patriot Babe]

ROFL ROFL ROFL

[ConorMacNessa]

Oh yeah! That will cause a sudden rush of feces to Vlad's heart!

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

"I'll handle this one..."

[onedoug]

Modality. One of this jerk’s favorite words.

[Mastador1]

But Defense Secretary Ashton Carter questioned that, telling reporters at the Pentagon that it appeared Russian airstrikes had occurred “in areas where there probably was – were not ISIL forces” but where other groups were “present.”

Well Secretary Ashton do you or don't you know who was there? You seem to be doing more waffling then a cook at Waffle House! It sucks for obama that Putin is being decisive, but maybe it's not such a bad thing for the rest of the world...........this time.

The Russian air strikes were in Talbiseh (Talbisa), Homs, far from ISIS forces. The Russians are bombing the Free Syrian Army.

Map of the Situation (including which areas are controlled by which factions)

The obvious reason is that the Russians hope to destroy moderate factions that want a secular government, leaving only radical Islamist factions like ISIS as an excuse to build up the Assad/Iranian side.

It appears that Putin's hope is to stabilize the situation and put it under the control of Iran and Russia before making pacts with other nations to move further south. It appears to be another Russian proxy campaign to take the Mediterranean (to control energy resources, ports, military routes and more) and to take Israel for the Mother Church of Russia (Eastern Orthodox) and similar religious allies. Russia conducted a similar long campaign to build up Arab proxies and prod them to attack Israel before the Six Day War.

Putin is targeting the 2,500 Chechens in Syria, the most dangerous fighters in the opposition to Assad.

Putin said he is going to wipe them out, that there is no negotiating with them.

He said he going to make a safe enclave in Syria for Christians.

All this is completely beyond the US media, who don’t know who the Chechens are

and don’t give a (blank) about the Christians.

[MUDDOG]

Jabhat al-Nusra, or to another rebel group, Ahrar al-Sham

Target anything with an "al-" in it.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I fear the Kurds are going to take it in the shorts once again, THANKS TO US!

@#$%^&*!

Worst. President. Ever. Worst. SOS. Ever. Worst. Congress. Ever. EVER!

[butlerweave]

Kerry still has no idea what happened ,Iran deal already chewing on his butt

[Starstruck]

Of course you don’t because the Obama regime is not truly interested in defeating ISIS.

And neither does Putin and therein lies the rub.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

His son in law is a muz. Wonder if that guy’s father has Kerry’s ear.
