U.S. reports 25 air strikes against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria
2015-09-27
[AlAhram] The United States and its allies conducted 25 air strikes against 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
snuffies in Iraq and Syria on Friday, a U.S. military statement said.

Twenty-four air raids were carried out against targets near 10 cities in Iraq, including djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
and Ramadi, it said. In Syria, an Islamic State vehicle was destroyed in an air attack near Al Hawl, the statement added.

#6   The United States really has no comprehensive directed Strategic Policy concerning ISIS, The United States therefore has no apparent GOAL ( because it has no consistent POLICY)

Actually the administration does have a goal, and a policy. They, however, don't involve fighting the Islamic State.

#5  What's more to the point is that they remembered to ask Putin "mother may I".

#4  If there aren't chains of secondary explosions, you're not hitting the right targets.

#3  The United States really has no comprehensive directed Strategic Policy concerning ISIS, The United States therefore has no apparent GOAL ( because it has no consistent POLICY).

It has no Policy because it has no PRINCIPLES. The US is REACTIVE ( that means it has lost the initiative to the Enemy ) because it has no Goals or Principles. It has neither of these qualities BECAUSE it has no WILL. ( also sometimes called "balls").

It has no balls because it has no Leadership. The Pentagon is playing whackamole and there is simply no one in Charge who is anything but a show me help me what to do ( please ) hack.
Obama is an incompetent. ( let's just be honest about it ). The United States elected an opportunistic suit who doesn't have a damn clue.

We HAVE no Strategy because we have no Goal. We have no Goal because we have no Principles. We have no Principles because we have no Leaders. We can NOT win without a Strategy backed by Will and Principles.

I have a good Idea...let's all DIE for nothing and believe in gibbering Hope and Change.
An entire Nation of flatulent effete direction-less five star suckers.
