Some of you may have caught the battle with the Kurds and IS at Kobani with CNN news reporting live and with their cams you could see IS far on the ridge line. Question is why weren't we bombing and the answer was no forward spotters. The CNN man reporting said he could spot easily
It wouldn't surprise me if Obama is going hawkish before the election. Geesh, just listen to the crap coming out of Bidens mouth {kill them and send them all to hell speech.} Obama may go right back to being a dove once the election's over.
I don't think anyone wants the mess of taking back the same cities we fought so hard over. The Iraq govt. is still playing games and if anything this will cause further division. If we do go back in, like it or not we have to keep large bases there for decades.

There's got to be some plan where we would use boots without going back into these cities and cause them serious issue or least contain them until someone decides how to take them back.
