The GROWTH of IS, - The New War on Terror

Daily Mail: Reports " The ISIS suicide rampage: Kamikaze attacks on Kobane and across Iraq as West admits airstrikes alone can't turn back terror group "

Lets Get Real:

If IS takes Kobane it will be seen as a victory for IS and its strategy, it will show the limits of air power without a buffer zone and a ground operation, the Turks have a point on the need for a buffer zone, it would allow many Syrians to go back and it would force the US to have active troops on the ground.   Thus we have the famous mission creep, it is going to happen, it is just a matter of time.  The Obama Oval and its political staff have to understand that the enemy is IS not their own military command, the Army has many good officers who still have the scars of Vietnam, they might have to be pushed in to placing troops in Syria, not the other way around.   This is crunch time, the public will not support a WAR with no victory, they will need feel that the WAR is GOOD and has a objective aim and has the support of President Obama, is President Obama ALL IN is the question, one has doubts. 

IS SELLS Women - The New War on Terror

Telegraph: Reports " Thousands of Yazidi women sold as sex slaves 'for theological reasons', says Isil..Article in Islamic State's English-language online magazine Dabiq not only admits selling Yazidi women into sex slavery but justifies it according to the theological rulings of early Islam "

Lets Get Real:

This blog is not normally shocked by World events, the above has shocked this blog, this is why IS has to be destroyed, they are a threat to every secular liberal system, they must be removed and destroyed, there should be NO talks as some have suggested, there can never be a kind of diplomacy with IS cowards and scum, selling women for sex is EVIL, its not a word this blog uses when it comes to current events, but this is EVIL.   The West should try and help these women, if a liberal State walks on by then what is the point of democracy.   One can only hope that the CIA and MI6 can help in some way, track the movements of these poor women, and then send in special forces to rescue them, that is what the West should do, one has doubts that the WEST will act, sad state of the WORLD. 

US Planes USE Turkey Military Bases - The New War on Terror

Guardian: Reports " Also on Sunday, officials confirmed that Turkey agreed to let US and coalition fighter aircraft launch operations against Isis militants in Iraq and Syria from Turkish bases, including Incirlik air base in the south. "

Lets Get Real:

Another good development, the US should bomb IS in Syria and Iraq 24/7, bomb everything that moves and is linked to IS.  The US has to have US Special Forces on the ground as to help the air operation, the PR is that of IS winning, the Allies in Syria and Iraq have to gain a symbolic victory, some town they have saved or people, something that shows that the Allies are causing problems for IS.   The Western voter tires of endless campaigns that go nowhere, they like to see THEIR side winning, its good for the military and a plus net on the political front.   The US and Allies do not have ALL the time in the world. 

Update 

Guardian: Reports " Turkey denies new deal reached to open airbases to US in fight against Isis..Prime minister’s office says talks are continuing on the subject, in comments that run contrary to US defence officials’ statement "

Lets Get Real:

The Oval really needs to get its political spin operation in line with its Allies, the agreement by Turkey to use its NATO bases should have come from Turkey not from the US.    This is another example of a political White House acting without thinking, it shows that the political side of the White House is still in control, the Oval has come under critical attack over the past few days that its air operation was not working, thus the White House wanted to stall the weekend critics with this news without thinking of the long term strategy and allowing the Turkish Government to release the news, typical of the Obama Oval. 

Turkey supports Syrian Rebels - The New War on Terror

BBC News: Reports " Turkey has agreed to allow moderate Syrian rebels to be trained on its soil, the US says, in its bid to combat Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. "

Lets Get Real:

One wonders what the Oval had to give to Turkey to get this concession, more pressure on Assad and his Regime, financial support for the Syrian Refugees in Turkey, help with Turkey getting in to EU.  There is always a price, of course the US will protect Turkey should IS attack Turkey, in that the Oval has no choice, as Turkey is part of NATO.   At least Turkey is doing something, lets see if the actual training actually happens, a, five thousand is not enough,  b, and takes to much time.   Lets look for some good news, its a start, only a start.
