#5 Silly Rabbits...the surge of reinforcements to Kobani will weaken defense of other targets. Be interesting to see what Turkey's ransom was.

#6 Guess we'll have too hear one of Obumbles rambling ass speeches about how he saved the day.

#7 The battle of Kobani would make a great movie:

You have 'good' defenders facing almost overwhelming odds - everyone feels they are doomed. But somehow, they fight on.

You have a truly evil invaders who are hell bent on raping and killing everyone.

You have the good looking, female, Kurd leader of the defenders.

You have the collation coming in to help - making the U.S. Military look good.

And if they win you have a good ending and if they lose you have a 'last stand - at least they put up an excellent fight' ending.

Unfortunately here's how Hollywood would write it:

Replace ISIS with Christian fundamentalist - and of course depict them as being the majority of Christians.

Replace the Kurds with the Gay and Abortion community.

Replace the beautiful Kurd leader with Abortion Barbie - oh and make her a bisexual transgender.

Replace the collation bombing with U.S. and EPA Attorneys dropping lawsuits and subpoenas on the Christian churches (See Houston Mayor).

#10 Fok'n Champ should have dropped the Ready Brigade of the 82nd Airborne behind their arses and pushed them into the Turks. RIP Rihana.

#14 Observers have discovered ISIS is moving even more reinforcements, as many as 10,000 reinforcements, towards Kobane.

Airstrikes have killed an estimated 1,000 ISIS in an attack on one of the convoys headed toward Kobane.

#15 Kurds are also sending in reinforcements to Kobane. These are YPJ, female Peshmerga moving towards Kobane today.

#16 Per the US DOD, ISIS has now made taking Kobane its main effort. In Iraq, Iraqi forces move to retake Tikrit.

#17 That's where air power can work: interdiction. Basically set up a zone 2k fwd of the FLOT, extend that out 30k, there's your kill box. If it moves in there, kill it.
