LONDON: Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly sending 150,000 soldiers to Syria to wipe out the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

According to The Daily Star, he is apparently mounting an enormous military mission to take control of the terror group's stronghold of Raqqa.

Raqqa is the self-declared capital of ISIS which is patrolled by as many as 5,000 jihadi members.

Putin is set to mobilise 150,000 reservists whom he conscripted into the military earlier this week.

Yeah, you got a point.

Zero didn’t foment revolution in Syria — Assad did that himself. In a world filled with jihadists, and porous borders, it’s not surprising that the situation Assad created led to a massive escalation he simply couldn’t handle.

Zero did supply it.

Zero did less than nothing when Gaddafy was overthrown;

Not true. CIA supplied Al Qaida affiliates in Libya with weapons to overthrow Ghadaffi long before Benghazi:

A New York Times report from 30th March 2011 reveals that the CIA had been active in Libya “for weeks”, to “gather information for [NATO] airstrikes, and to contact and ‘vet’ the rebels battling “Gaddafi’s forces”. The New York Times report also states that Obama had signed a presidential finding in the weeks previous, which gave authority to the CIA to arm and fund the rebels. Once Ghadaffi was down, Xero's proxies in Libya started supplying weapons to Syrian rebels. So what I am saying is that the goal of taking down Assad may well be part of the same gambit: Liberate ever more destructive weapons for the next larger jihadi group. It's classic cyclical leveraging.

If it moves, kill it.

ISIS well flee back into Iraq where its safe.

If we still had troops in Iraq it could be 1945 all over again.

“Reservists? So he is sending in the B or C team”

It will be interesting to see how that plays out against the JV ISIL team.

I'll believe it when I see it.

The weakness of Obama foreign policy is having its designed effect.

Way to go Valerie.

[TexasFreeper2009]

GO PUTIN!!!!

Wish we could elect Putin president!

How good are Russian conscripts?

"LONDON: Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly sending 150,000 soldiers to Syria to wipe out the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). "

I expect Putin will be picking up quite a bit of slightly used American military hardware along the way. Maybe he can sell it back to obama to augment depleted domestic assets.

Wondering if the whole thing going on with Russia/Syria/Iran is what Obama said he’d have more freedom to discuss “after the election”.

[dragnet2]

No, Obama will simply bring in tens of thousands into our hometowns. He even said he would.☺

When someone tells ya they're going to screw you over, or destroy you, believe them.

[Ben Mugged]

I’ll just bet his troops aren’t operating under restrictive rules.
