Update on Russian Air Strikes: Mosque destroyed, Rebel leader killed, Rebels vow mass beheadings

The Liwa Suqour al-Jabal, one of the CIA-backed groups, said it had been hit by 20 missiles in its base in Idlib province.

Among the dead from Wednesday’s strikes was said to be a prominent rebel leader in north Homs province, Captain Iyad al-Deek, a former regime officer who defected early in the uprising.

The rebels have promised to take the fight to the Russians, some in blood-curdling comments online.

“Is it not time for the knight to mount his steed? Is it not time to cut off the heads? What are we waiting for? What remains?” said one man, Mohammad al-Maghaweer, who claimed to be a front-line fighter with Jaish al-Fatah.

Another fighter, Mukhlif Hussein al-Tamer, from Idlib, said: “My message to the Russian bear - no matter how much you gather your force in Syria, do not think we are afraid of your failing forces.”

The rebels also claimed there were a number of civilians among the dead. "The mosque was virtually destroyed, and there was a body under the ruins, and there were eight wounded, among them a child,” said Tareq Abdul-Haq, a media activist who visited Jisr al-Shughour after the Russian bombing.

He said a “poor, civilian” neighbourhood had been hit.

“We've seen many bombings by the Syrian air force, but people told me the whole town shook when the Russians struck, and the damage and the rubble left behind by their weapons was very big. It was out of the ordinary. Syrian air force bombs can't do this.”

Yes they are, and this is whst we are supporting with our tax dollars. The rebels are ISIS and the CIA is helping them.

Gut wrenching sickening. But Obama and McCain like these crumb bums.

It seems Russia doesn’t have flower petal-plucker females running their foreign policy.

On the contrary...

The folks getting bombs are calling for mass be-headings in retaliation...

... meaning the Russian are probably hitting the right targets. Me thinks those CIA ‘advisers’ should un-ass the area.

Everybody over there is. At this point, it all comes down to which set of bad guys we least want to see lose.

The Russians are fighting to win. No BS ROE for them.
They remember muslim savages invading their elementary school ten years ago in Beslan about five years after 9/11/2001, killing over 300 Russians, and almost 200 children.
Just doing the job our president refuses to do.

And with that Putin surpasses all that Obama has accomplished in the W.O.T. in the last six years.

And it’s only day 2.

I am trying to post from western sources. Twitter is all over the place. Muslims screaming bloody murder - mass deaths, etc on twitter so it makes me discount it.

The first priority of Assad and Putin is to end the civil war. It is difficult to fight ISIS if you do not have complete control over the country.

I’m wondering if obummer had anything to do with the creation of the JV team.

He had everything to do with their creation. They were the ones receiving the arms in Jughead's gun running scheme. They may have fooled him by pretending to be "moderates", but the RINO's in congress are the only ones who can't outsmart him.

“Update on Russian Air Strikes: Mosque destroyed”

Russia has destroyed infinitely more mosques than we have since Islam attacked America in 2001.

Guessing the Fraud won’t be able to get to the TV cameras fast enough to condemn this “atrocity”.

With THIS president anything is possible, including what you said.


The President of the United States (on the left) with her dummy.

I have no idea whether or not ObaMao is a Muslim, but I'm reasonably certain that his chief handler is.

“Were there secondary explosions when the “Mosque” was destroyed? Was the “Mosque” being used as a meeting place for terrorists?”

Were you paying attention? The people attacked were NOT terrorists (unless you are an Assad fan). They were anti-Asssd rebels.
