What is the West doing? Dropping a $500,000 missile on a $10, 000 pick up truck? The Kurds will be slaughtered en mass. The Turks may be happy but the rest of the world watches in horror.
An unconfirmed report in the Hill has it that the US has been flying sorties, single aircraft hunt and kill attacks, over the Kurdish city of Khobani, Syria. Khobani has been the scene of desperate fighting as undergunned and outnumbered Kurds have resorted to desperate acts of bravery in their fight to stay out of the hands of IsiS headsmen and slavers.
Briefly quoting The Hill report linked above:
The U.S. and coalition nations have conducted more than 95 airstrikes in Syria, but only about nine near Kobani, according to U.S. Central Command statistics released before the new strikes.The UK-based anti-government group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Tuesday’s airstrikes, and said that ISIS forces pulled back after overnight clashes.
Nine sorties – against an enemy of civilization and of most of the Islamic world that numbers more than 31,000; as well supplied as any modern army on earth.
I would say more but the steam coming out my ears is fogging my glasses.
