Kurds beat back ISIS in Syria
Peshmerga fighters in Syria have taken back several towns in the northeast of Syria, traditionally Kurdish villages, according to the Associated Press;
The fighting in the mainly-Kurdish Hassakeh province came as diplomats at a Paris conference tried to agree on a global strategy to fight the extremist group, which has captured large tracts of territory in Iraq and Syria.
Kurdish fighters have been repelling the advances of the Islamic State militants for more than a year in northern Syria. The battle-hardened Kurdish force, known by its acronym YPK, has been the most successful at fighting the Islamic State group….
While diplomats blustered and slapped each other on the back in Paris, the Kurds are actually doing something. Makes you wonder why we are only now giving the arms and ammunition that they need, doesn’t it?

Time to quit fucking around and give them their due.
Kurdistan!
Agreed. I got to spend a lot of time in Northern Iraq and Southern Turkey and I love the Kurds. They are great people and very honest and hard working.
AND, I say this realizing that they are Mooslums.
Good for them.
So what I’m getting is this: The way to fight ISIx is to shoot them? That seems fairly simple. I wonder when the diplomats in Paris will figure this out.
Most likely NEVER, it seems that they all have terminal Kerryheaduptheassistis!!
In Paris, the politicians talk.
In Syria and on the battlefield, the Kurds talk too. Only, they mean what they say.
So, the Kurds are the most successful at fighting ISIS so far? I think that might be because they are THE ONLY ONES ACTUALLY FIGHTING THEM!!!
The pResident thinks that dropping bombs will win the war. It didn’t win the war for Japan in Hawaii, for Germany in England, or for America in Germany.
Going to have to agree. Syrian military and Kurds are the only ones that have actually fought ISIS. Neither has actually gained ground, but instead held a defense.
Roger that.
Like the old saying says…
First, we hang all the diplomats.
Q: What’s blsck and yellow and makes you smile?
A: A bus full of Diplomats going off a cliff with NO EMPTY SEATS!!
We better gear up in America. We are next. But I think America will fight back WITH OR WITHOUT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF!
