Kurds Facing Massacre At Korbani, Syria

ISIS may have feudal thoughts but their building modular refineries is pretty slick

300 to 500 barrels per refinery per day being bombed and droned by us is a start but will not do the trick

Kurds a begging for help as ISIS now the town of Korbani surrounds

Kurds fighting desperately but against tanks and artillery hard to hold one’s ground

400,000 residents and refugees are at massacre risk

Water and power to the city no longer exist

If Obama were a student of history which he is obviously not

He would know air strikes alone will not stop this onslaught

Look only back to Korea where we controlled the sky and bombed the invaders during the day

The North moved during the night and our air forces could not hold them at bay

In Desert Storm we flew over 100,000 sorties and dropped 88,500 tons

Yet many soldiers and tanks were left not until the ground war commenced was it won

As of today just a little over 200 sorties flown mere pricks

No way will that amount of air degrade and destroy these barbarians making humanity sick

Obama has set us up for failure with the blood of thousands of civilians on his hands

Not again another military and humanitarian disaster from a 30 plus jihadist band

Where are the tanks and artillery for the Kurds?

To think ISIS will give us a year to train the Syrian moderates is absurd

5,000 former accountants and tradesman against 30 plus thousand not afraid to die

Is a pipedream that the cold hard facts of reason and history will deny

As the civilian body count and beheadings rise, our President will soon have no choices

He will have to listen to his military voices

Sooner than later one would have to hope

While there are still some Kurds left to rearm and with ISIS cope
