Biden the FOOL - The New War on Terror

CNN - Politics: Reports " U.S. Vice President Joe Biden has apologized to the United Arab Emirates and Turkey for comments he made last week that Middle Eastern allies are partly to blame for the strengthening of ISIS. "

Lets Get Real:

This is why BIDEN is a joke in Washington, while the US has a delicate alliance with its allies in the Middle East the VP goes off on them in the open.   Thus we can take it as a FACT that Biden will not run in 2016, most times his mistakes are  fun or just bad, but these remarks could have caused terrible reaction, the US needs Turkey to take action in Syria and to support the US in its fight with IS.   One could only image the Republican adverts if Biden was the Democratic nomination, start building that nuclear bunker, you get the idea.  The VP should clear his remarks with the White House, or say nothing, even better go on holiday for the next two and half years, thus avoid causing any more damage.  

Apache Helicopters IN to Iraq - The New War on Terror

Telegraph: Reports " US throws Apache helicopter gunships into fight against Isil..America has escalated its air campaign against Isil fighters menacing Baghdad, by using helicopter gunships for the first time "

Lets Get Real:

It has been estimated that it will take three years to destroy IS in Iraq and Syria, that might be to conservative, without that dreaded word, " boots on the ground " this War could take decades, air power alone will not do the trick, if IS is pushed back it needs either Iraqi Forces or Western Forces to hold and keep ground.   At some point the US and its allies will run out of things ot bomb, then what, IS are not fools, they will it can be assume change their ground tactics, less large movemetns, more back to terrorist attacks in Iraq and Syria.   One can assume that President Obama wants to contain the WAR in till 2017 and then handover the problem to his successor, thus the new President will have Afghanistan still going on and a long air war in Iraq and Syria.   Of course will IS allow Obama to handover the problem, if they control the Syrian border they could start attacks on Turkey, a NATO member, thus Obama would have no choice but to defend Turkey with ground troops, all for one. 

Kobani, and the Failure of the West - The New War on Terror

Guardian: Reports " Isis flags raised in Kobani near Turkish-Syrian border...Kurdish commander pleads for help as Isis plant banner on hill overlooking Kobani and on a building in the town "

Lets Get Real:

The fate of Kobani is a symbol of the failure of the Obama Oval and the West to deal with IS, there are Turkish tanks near the Turkish and Syrian border and they are doing nothing, the UK has not bombed Syria, given that Syria is the base for IS, this is a massive political mistake.   It looks like IS will take Kobani and place itself as a threat to Turkey and to others in the region.    This is the time for the West to place Special Forces in Syria, they could back up the Kurds and prevent IS becoming a threat to Turkey and to NATO.  If Kobani falls to IS the Obama legacy will have one association, SYRIA, the thousands killed in its civil war and the growith of IS from that war.   Time for action from the Oval. 

The FALL of Kobane to IS - The War on Terror

BBC News: Reports " The key Syria-Turkey border town of Kobane might fall to Islamic State (IS) fighters soon, an official there has told the BBC. "

Lets Get Real:

It is time for Turkey to ACT, IS is as much of a threat to them as to other Countries in the region, do they really want IS to control most of the Syrian and Turkish border.   As Turkey is a NATO member any attack would be MAD, but then your not dealing with sane people.   The IS terror group is a bunch of murdering cowards, who's ruthless actions place them in the mold of a total new EVIL for the Middle East.   The Obama Oval should consider placing ground troops in Kobane to protect those people still there and also a red line for IS, of course would any one trust the Oval after its failure to enforce its previous red lines in Syria.   The UK Government should order strikes on IS in Syria, there is no time to recall the House of Commons, this could be one of the last times to hold IS back in the region.
