| [Haaretz] The new United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... envoy to Syria is calling for an urgent international response to the 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group's assault on a Kurdish town by the Turkish border, saying the global community can't sustain another city falling to the myrmidon group. Staffan de Mistura issued the demand for "concrete action," after Turkey's president declared that Kobani is on the brink of being captured. De Mistura's statement says: "The world, all of us, will regret deeply if ISIS is able to take over a city which has defended itself with courage but is close to not being able to do so. We need to act now." The attack has forced more than 200,000 people to flee, one of the largest single exoduses of the three-year Syrian conflict. |
