It has been three weeks since we first stated “all you will ever need to know about President Obama’s real commitment to defeating ISIS you will learn in Kobane”.  

Actions speak louder than words.

President Obama has made the ruse, his ruse, within Syria, transparent in the extreme.
We called this “Operation Decisive Ambivalence” as administration officials said losing Kobane “was not a big concern” to them.   The administration has done nothing to support the Syrian Kurds fighting ISIS near the northern border city of Kobane.   The Kurdish people are the “moderates” within the region that President Obama has specifically stated need support.  Yet he does nothing. 
Kurdish fighters, including women and grandparents, are fighting and dying – for them, failure is not an option.  If Kobane falls to ISIS somewhere around 10,000 Syrian Kurds will have been killed.  Yet Obama’s plan is to arm and train 5,000 “moderate” Syrian’s within a year.  Think about the insufferable fallacy within the logic.
There should be NO DOUBT -in the minds of U.S. observers- what is actually taking place in Syria.   Both President Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, are ideologically aligned with ISIS, even though they may express public disapproval of the methods.  Erdogan and Obama support the creation of a Sunni Islamic state, a “caliphate” within the region compromised of radical islamists within the various factional forces of the Muslim Brotherhood…     (more…)

The Kurdish forces trapped and fighting for Kobane (Kobani) will not surrender, will not relent, and will go to their deaths fighting the Islamic slime that is ISIS. Meanwhile President Obama and Prime Minister Erdogan willingly watch the slaughter. 

In 2011 Obama took us to war in Libya over his doctrine “The Responsibility To Protect”.  Even the usually insufferable United Nations is requesting an intervention.

From Bastogne To Kobane – What a Distance We’ve Traveled !

SURUC, Turkey (AFP) — Islamic State jihadists captured the headquarters Friday of Kurdish fighters defending the Syrian border town of Kobani, with a UN envoy warning thousands would likely be massacred if it falls to them.

Outgunned Kurdish militia were struggling to prevent the jihadists closing off the last escape route for civilians still in the area, prompting an appeal for urgent military assistance.
US-led warplanes have intensified air strikes against IS, which has been attacking Kobani for three weeks, but the Pentagon has warned that, without a ground force to work with, there are limits to what can be done.
Neighboring Turkey has so far refrained from any action against the jihadists on its doorstep, despite four straight nights of protests among its own large Kurdish minority that have left 31 people dead. (more…)

Gee, ya think? Unfortunately, once you get on the jihadi bus – you dress in beekeeper outfits – and you don’t get off until the rides over….

SYRIA – The teenage girls who abandoned their families in Austria to become jihadis for ISIS feel they’ve made a terrible mistake by joining the barbaric lifestyle and they want to come home.

Samra Kesinovic, 17, and Sabina Selimovic, 15, are believed to be married, pregnant and living in the Islamic State-controlled city of Raqqa in northern Syria, Central European News reports.
Dubbed by Austrian media as the poster girls for jihad, the young friends now believe their lives have been turned upside down by their new lifestyles. (more…)

Charles Krauthammer pens analysis about the fraud that is Obama and Erdogan’s Sunni Syria / Iraq  strategy.   Both Islamic leaders willing to allow Sunni ISIS full control of Syria and Iraq in the grand hopes to resurrect the Ottoman empire with Erdogan at the head of the table…..   

(NRO) During the 1944 Warsaw uprising, Stalin ordered the advancing Red Army to stop at the outskirts of the city while the Nazis, for 63 days, annihilated the non-Communist Polish partisans. Only then did Stalin take Warsaw.

No one can match Stalin for merciless cynicism, but President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey is offering a determined echo by ordering Turkish tanks massed on the Syrian border, within sight of the besieged Syrian town of Kobani, to sit and do nothing.
For almost a month, Kobani Kurds have been trying to hold off Islamic State fighters. Outgunned, outmanned, and surrounded on three sides, the defending Kurds have begged Turkey to allow weapons and reinforcements through the border. Erdogan has refused even that, let alone intervening directly. Infuriated Kurds have launched demonstrations throughout Turkey protesting Erdogan’s deadly callousness. At least 21 demonstrators have been killed. (more…)

Last week Vice-President Joe Biden told a Harvard audience the Obama administration was aware Qatar was financing Sunni jihadists in Syria 2012 and 2013.  However, the same administration sent the GITMO terrorists to Qatar in 2014? 

WASHINGTON DC – The Army has completed its investigation into Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s 2009 disappearance from his post in Afghanistan that led to his subsequent capture by the Taliban, according to a news report Thursday.

A report by the investigating officer, Brig. Gen. Kenneth Dahl, is now being reviewed by commanders, but will not be released, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
Army spokesman Wayne Hall said the review process likely would be lengthy, and that “the Army’s priority is ensuring that our process is thorough, factually accurate, impartial, and legally correct,” according to the report.
The Army is looking into whether Bergdahl had deserted his post in Afghanistan or was away without leave before he was captured, which would be violations of, and punishable, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. (more…)

…. and that is Syrian forces on the ground who can fight ISIS !

Whiskey – Tango – Foxtrot !

What the heck are Syrian Kurds if not “Syrian forces on the ground who can fight ISIS” ?
This makes absolutely no sense.
By their own statements – The White House is willing to watch 10,000 Syrian Kurds die fighting ISIS in Kobane as the Pentagon works to train 5,000 Syrians to hopefully fight in April 2015.
Can the broad electorate see that Obama’s actual objective is to allow ISIS to win Syria?

Apparently Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Erdogan is quite open about his support of ISIS now. Anyone trying to cross the Syrian border to assist the sieged city of Kobane (Kobani) will be shot. Anyone who rises in objection to Turkey watching the slaughter in Kobane will also be shot. So far Erdogan has killed 21 Turkish Kurds who have advocated against ISIS in support of Kobane.

Failing to support an Islamic State, a caliphate, will not be tolerated. Erdogan’s position is anyone who does not support ISIS is essentially anti-democracy – and he’ll kill you to prove it.

TURKEY – Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has defended his government on its policies on Syria, as the death toll in the worst street unrest in Turkey’s recent past hit 21.
[…] He also declared calls to hold rallies in support of Kobane to be “against democracy.”
Chief of General Staff Gen. Necdet Özel, deputy prime ministers Bülent Arınç, Ali Babacan and Yalçın Akdoğan, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Interior Minister Efkan Ala, National Defense Minister İsmet Yılmaz were among the senior officials who attended the meeting. (more…)

Last night former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly he believes President Obama totally understands the situation in Syria and Iraq and will make “the right decisions”. A few hours later CNN reports the following headline:

Think about this from a few different perspectives.
First, what message does this approach send to our allies or, even more importantly, to ISIS?
(more…)

Kurdish populations throughout Turkey are visibly angry at Prime Minister Erdogan and President Obama’s decision to stand by and watch their brothers and sisters slaughtered by ISIS in Kobane (Kobani) Syria.   The anger has the possibility of tearing apart a tenuous dynamic within Turkey…

Meanwhile Team Obama actually says: ‘meh, no biggie if 10,000 or so Syrian moderates are killed fighting ISIS, we’ve got a great plan to train and arm 5,000 over the next year’.

Wait, wha… no… huh?…

U.S. officials: Key Syrian border city of Kobani will fall to ISIS, but that's not a major U.S. concern. http://t.co/f67CIzD3yT

U.S. officials: “ISIS will capture Kobani, but it’s not a big concern to us“

TURKEY – […] The likely fall of Kobani may mark an irrevocable breach between Turks and Kurds in Turkey, Syria and Iraq. Many of the 30 million Kurds in the region believe that, if Kobani falls, it will be because Turkey refused to help its defenders as they faced repeated Isis assaults and cut them off from reinforcements and fresh supplies of weapons and ammunition. “We are besieged by Turkey, it is not something new,” said Ismet Sheikh Hassan, the Kurdish Defence Chief for the Kobani region.
