But RUSSIA has blah, blah, blah!! Russia, shut the hell up! Russia you are screwing around in the UKRAINE, blew up that Malaysian Jet CIVILIAN plane, and you want the world to take you seriously?? Sorry RUSSIA, Putin, keep your mouth shut and worry about your OWN country and you already have MUSLIMS fighting you in Chechen Republic etc...so if YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HELP SYRIA fight against ISIS, ISIL, IS what the heck name these Muslim terrorists go under, stay out of the way and do not forget that SYRIA and this whole mess is way closer to Moscow but now these crazy terrorists, thanks to our new GLOBAL ECONOMY etc..these terrorists can attack in Moscow just as easily as in NYC or London or in Tokyo etc...So back to this mess, if PUTIN had any brains, he could be talking to ASSAD etc..and to the USA, NATO and the MUSLIM countries to help fight a COMMON ENEMY, called ISIS, ISIL, IS, the Taliban, AL Qaeda etc...

Oh no, it isn`t. To remind you, a lot of these new Sunni Arab regimes in Obamas "coalition" are the original sponsors of ISIS, and they are only in this to the degree that they worry the ISIS caliphate might usurp their own regimes.

And the big elephant in the room is Turkey. Turkeys huge military could finish ISIS very quickly if Erdogan wanted, but he is more interested in replacing the Alevite Assad regime with a Sunni one. And shelling a Kurdish town is not something that he much against either.

So don´t dream about some fictious "world" vs ISIS situation... that is wishful thinking.

@David Quintero Navarro America will do know deal with Assad.

Well the U.S should be able to take out there canons fast. After all they clam they could destroy all NK canons within 16 hours.

@WilliB I wouldn't be so confident if I was you. America had massive big problems fighting Sunnis in Fallujah "house to house". Turkey doesn't have the best or guide bombs, the best tanks and weapons in the world. Turkey's troops could not even match U.S troops.......Even if they had weapons on par 2 America.

It is not about who has the best bombs. It is about who is willing to see this through, and just as importanly, who is willing this through and stays in the area long-term.

The US sure as hell does not. You can blow up a lot of things and kill a lot of people, but then you go away and leave a bigger mess than before. Will your government never learn?

Haha your funny WilliB. America wanted to stay in Iraq but got forced out? They would of won that war by now. And Yeah, they "Turkey" will blow up every house, killing most civilians to get the job done. Know way will they clean them out, committing mass crimes and killing all male civilians.

You're right, they made a mess, then fixed it, but even got told before they won it that they would win the battle "with the strategy" but their constitution would 100% see a fool. Well already means they would fail unless they changed it. As it turns out, it's 100% the reason this has taken place in Iraq. They had the power to take control of the Gov and the army, that forced the other party to attack them, then let the IS over run Iraq.

Their mistakes and not being able to think ahead, have made a mess. A Bigger mess......... yes. That docent means they can't make it better. Highly unlikely, as they will not Overrun the Iraq gov and put a new constitution in place. Good luck getting them to vote it in. They need to get a brain and do the job properly the first time. The ISIS will lose, and it's only a matter of time before America goes in "I think:. Would be good if America didn't, but i don't think Iraq troops or Turkey troops couldn't do the job. I'm sure Turkey troops would be a lot better then Iraq troops, but house to house fighting then attacks from behind.....Nah. Never know.

Its clear Obama doesn't want blood on his hands. He doesn't want any war to take place. Any other leader would of put boost on the ground 100%.......He must.

NATO needs reliable spotters before they bomb. They can't mistake who's friendly and who's foe when they look similar from the sky.

@lostrune2 its called communication. They now carry these things that tell them where they are, or and use color smoke. Knowing the rebels "for say" they will probably order bombs strikes 2 drop on me..
