While American air strikes on the Syrian border town of Kobane play out in front of the world’s media, Isil has made territorial gains in Iraq "
Lets Get Real:
The Kobane section of the WAR is made for TV, the Western reporters can report from Turkey on the air strategy of President Obama, the reporters can not report directly from the war field as they are under threat from ISIS or IS. It can be argued and has been that IS has made Kobane a strategic important target, the West can not afford to lose it, it would hit Western morale that in a direct fight between IS and the West it lost to IS. The fact that IS is gaining ground in Iraq is troubling, the Iraqi Army is not ready, the Syrian Free Army being trained by the US will take months, a period of time that the West does not have, thus the call for Western troops in Syria and Iraq. The New War on Terror 2 is going to be a long WAR, the West just has to take it time, one day there will be Western ground troops, either under President Obama or his successor.
