Fox News: Reports " Islamic State militants battling for control of the Syrian border city of Kobani ramped up their offensive Thursday, re-taking ground west of the city where the U.S. made a crucial supply drop.. "
Lets Get Real:
The Kobani or Kobane front seems like a World War One Trench warfare, two sides in endless fighting, gaining a bit of land, but then having to give it up, at the end US entry in World War One helped break deadlock on the Western Front, it will take US ground troops to break IS in Kobane, the Kurds do not have the men or arms, they are getting air drops, but as the article notes this might not happen again and IS have retaken the land for the drops, also the Turks have been slow in allowing Kurds to cross the border as to fight IS. One has to presume that the US has spotters on the ground, hence boots on the ground, the Kobane front needs US boots on the ground, that is the only way that Kobane can be a net plus for the Oval.
