Islamic State Redeploys Fighters Towards Kurdish Areas
2014-09-24
[Ynet] Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
fighters are redeploying from areas hit in US-led air strikes towards Kurdish-controlled territory in Syria, the main Syrian Kurdish gang said on Tuesday.

It also urged air strikes on Islamic State fighters attacking the town of Kobani.

Redur Xelil, speaking to Rooters via the Internet, said the redeployment of Islamic State fighters could put more pressure on the Kurdish fighters defending Kobani, also known as Ayn al-Arab, from an Islamic State offensive that has already forced more than 130,000 Syrian Kurds to flee to Turkey.

#3  When Obama attacks, it's tradition
Not to flee or present opposition.
At Barack Hussein's call,
All will turn to the wall
As they race to assume the position.

#1  Without blocking forces on the ground, what did strategists think they might do when hit from the air ?
