| 2015-11-10 | |
[AnNahar] Russia's air force struck 448 targets throughout Syria over the last three days, the defense ministry said Monday, as Moscow pushed on with its bombing campaign in the war-torn country.
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front. Other targets said to belong to Nusra Front were a command center in Zarbe, a training camp near Kweyris east of Aleppo and a "large munitions stockpile" near Maheen in Homs province. The air force also said it bombed the 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.... group's stronghold Raqa, where two more munition stockpiles were "completely destroyed." Among other targets was a position used by Nusra Front for launching mortar attacks in Latakia and a stockpile of rockets in the mountains near Damascus kept by the Islamic State group, it said. It added that jihadist groups have "changed their tactics" by constantly "changing the arms and munitions delivery routes" and moving at night. The ministry claimed that some of the information on the targets had come from the "Syrian opposition" but did not specify which groups it had worked with. | |

| #7 Either way they are doin more than we are doing. We either need to do it without ROE or gwt the fuck out of the way. Obama is not gonna do it without getting a shitload of our soldiers killed so let putin take the lead. Some ppl on here are atill living in the USSR days and can't accept that our president has dropped us down to second tier world policemen. |

| #5 I'm not really inclined to believe much of what the Russians announce about air strikes. Third party accounts would be more reliable to a degree. Is anyone knowledgeable about the Russian ground troops taking or holding ground? Or Iranians taking and holding ground? |

| #3 And Hitler was so proud of them. He drafted them, you know. Maybe Vlad will do what we will not. |

| #2 our level of commitment to fighting ISIS any where seems to fall somewhere between indifference and a loud yawn. Have you considered "A nod is as good as a wink"? |

| #1 Geez, 448 targets in three days??? I'd say someone has pissed off Vlad big time. Any news on how many special purpose troops he has in Egypt with or without Sisi's approval??? That 448 is what I would have expected from our Air crappers but our level of commitment to fighting ISIS any where seems to fall somewhere between indifference and a loud yawn. |
