I am amazed that this interview is not getting the attention it deserves. Here we have ground troops on the northern Eastern front on the war against Isis. They have been begging for supplies, ammo, weapons, support for years, and they get ignored by Washington. We know that most of the supplies being sent to the Iraqi is going to the Iraqi gov't forces to the south and for what! Once they see isis they drop the weapons they got and run. The Kurds had shown the world that they can fight stand there ground and retake areas occupied by Isis. Maybe now France, and Russia could assist him. It's time that Mosel be liberated!

On the ground in Syria, yes, I think they can be vaporized relatively easily, once we quit worrying about collateral damage.

All of the Fifth Columnists who have spread out around the globe, not so much.

Obama is THE Moslem who armed al Qaeda and created
ISIS, and released their Generals.

... and he hates the Kurds, since America is now sided
with Turkey, N. Korea and Iran.

The remedy for your amazement is in this sentence of yours.

They have been begging for supplies, ammo, weapons, support for years, and they get ignored by Washington.

This news would hurt Democrats and globalists and this is why it is not getting attention. In other words, the media is burying it.

ISIS has declared themselves to be a nation/state, a start of the Caliphate, or some such description.

They control big parts of Syria and Iraq. They consider themselves to be an independent country.

Accordingly, can’t we declare war on ISIS, declare war on the ISIS nation/state, declare war on the governmental entity, ISIS, which controls that territory???

We are told so often that the “war on terror” is different than other wars because the terrorists are not in a particular country, and don’t represent a particular country.

But ISIS has set themselves up as a country. They are the government in big parts of Syria and Iraq, they are a de facto governmental unit.

Just a thought. ISIS conducts acts of war against the civilized world from this base of operations. Let’s go to war against that specific country.

Obama doesn’t want to defeat ISIS. He wants to leave that job up to his comrade Vladimir Putin. This way the Russians can set up a permanent position in the Middle East, to add to their retaking of their former Soviet states. Obama and Putin basically share the same new world vision: weak US, strong Russia. Obama, and many close to him, was a loyal supporter of the Soviet Union. Putin is exploiting the hell out of this useful idiot, despite his basically being on the same team. He’s given Putin damn near everything he wanted in missile defense and nuke deals.

Including the Mooslime Brudderhood that have infiltrated the White Mosque.

Notice the silence from the Entertainment and Sports community when it comes to the Paris attacks upon them.

They may be speaking out against our enemies but nobody is reporting it; (quite possible), or they are silenced by their fear.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE OVER ATTACKS ON THE MUSIC INDUSTRY?

They killed metal fans too. Nothing from the metal-heads?

Kinda spooky really.

Yes and no. They are a Toyota army with no armor, air recon or air force.

But they are organic, and can easily fade back into a supportive population to rise another day.

I know there’s many fronts in this war. I’m just focusing on the northern Eastern front right now. The world governments that truly wants to win and retake ISIS control occupied territories have an opportunity right now to retake one of the biggest city Isis controls.
Mosul.
Russia and France are doing their best in the Western front .
We need to listen to this Kurd leader, because he’s knows. I believe what he says and believes.

Mao said that the guerrilla is able to hide in the population like a fish hides in the sea. That’s true, but does not prevent parts of the sea being boiled off, fish and all.

The extinction of jihadism is about 1,400 years overdue.

We worry about collateral damage that would kill 100s and and maybe even 1,000s, when the end result is that allowing ISIS to continue results in the deaths of 10s and even 100s of thousands. Which is the more humane? Churchill, Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower were leaders who made the decisions that saved more lives than they lost, all the while knowing that it cost lives to save lives. Unlike the milquetoast we have as so-called leadership these days.

It seems that the battle to retake Mosul is getting closer, but they need support.
