[AlAhram] French warplanes carried out a second wave of strikes overnight on Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... targets in Syria, Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Friday. "Two Rafale jets dropped bombs on an IS training camp. The objectives were accomplished," he told Europe 1 radio, adding that further air strikes would follow. Le Drian said "80 to 90 percent" of Russian strikes in Syria were aimed at propping up  Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Despoiler of Deraa... , Moscow's long-term ally. "The Russian military action in Syria over the past 10 days does not target Daesh, their main aim is (to ensure) the security of Bashir al-Assad," he said. French President Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... said this week that failure to act in Syria risks stoking a "total war" in the Middle East. La Belle France carried out it first air strikes in Syria on September 27. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-10-10 |
