"The US on Sunday launched two waves of air strikes against Islamic State (Isis) militants in northern Iraq, in the most extensive American military operations in the country since the withdrawal of ground troops in 2011.
The strikes helped Kurdish peshmerga fighters to regain control of the strategically important Mosul dam captured by militants two weeks ago. "Mosul Dam was liberated completely," Ali Awni, an official from Iraq's main Kurdish party, told AFP, a statement confirmed by two other Kurdish sources." theguardian ------------------------- "The truth is incontrovertible. malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." -Sir Winston Churchill |

Let's hope they can hold it with US air support.

The Kurds are showing they are fierce fighters and indivuidualists. Our alliances with Turkey and Baghdad (in hind sight maybe we need to choose our friends better) have resulted with us giving them the short end of most bargains. Maybe we can set the record straight. Will we pull a Bush Senior and a Bush W and leave them hanging in the wind? |

A-10s and AC-130s need to get too close, puts crew at risk.
Better to do what we can with stand-off weapons. ------------------------- "The truth is incontrovertible. malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." -Sir Winston Churchill |

You are probably right, but I'd still like to see a highway of death equivalent - with video - for those barbarians. ------------------------- I :heart; Q |

We all would. I want to see burnt twisted ISIS bodies with wild dogs eating their entrails.
Nevermind, I don't want to see it. I just want to read about it from a credible source. I want their leaders kidnapped and treated like the cop in Reservoir Dogs. It's time for total war on these bastards. ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti Edited: 08/19/2014 at 04:43 PM by RustyTruck |
