#1 This is a job for Milo Minderbender. I see no reason the syndicate cannot both coordinate air strikes with Syria and also bomb the crap out of them.

Note: this is yet another example of how free market capitalism can make War better. For everyone.

#2 "We will certainly want to deconflict to make certain that they're not about to do something that they might regret even more seriously, but we're not going to coordinate," he added.

How can target deconfliction not entail some degree of coordination? Someone please help me here.

#4 I feel like I'm watching an old Looney Tune where the fat guy keeps hitting himself on the head with a mallet and twiddling his mouth going blah-di-di-blah-di-blah.

#6 I was thinking "1964" myself.

#7 '64? yeah, I remember it well. That could very well have been the beginning.

#8 The jury is still out on whether the Bammer's anti-ISIS strategy in Syria is wholly or partly also about getting rid of Baby Assad.

What I want to find out is iff Globalist Obama = pro-OWG Co-Superpower(s) Obama is giving Vlad = SCO-CSTO El Supremo Russia an opportunity to finally militarily engage the ISIS + other in Syria alongside Assad + Iran???

#9 Be funny as heck if Vlad offered to send a combat force to Iraq. Heads would explode.

But he won't because it would give Barry a way to get unstuck from his tarbaby.

#10 I've read somewhere Russian pilots are already in Iraq flying fighters. I'll have to try and find the story.

#11 As per MSM-Net, Jaawhn appears to be giving waffling or conflicting messages ... ...

To wit,

* WASHINGTON FREE BEACON > IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER
MOCKS OBAMA'S ISIL STRATEGY, CLAIMS KERRY ASKED
[i.e. SSSSHHHH ... PCCCCC "demanded"] IRAN TO HELP FIGHT ISIL.

* CNN AM > BARZANI: IRAN, US SHOULD UNITE AGZ ISIS.

* TOPIX > ABC News] US HAVING A HARD TIME BETWEEN "COMMUNICATING" + "COORDINATING" WID IRAN.

versus

* TOPIX > HEZBOLLAH VOWS TO DESTROY ISLAMIC STATE IN SYRIA.

But they still promise to hate the Bammer = USA afterward.

Well there ya go ... ...
