Seems like I'm doing too many Kobani titled posts, or the info gets buried (understandable) by other threads..... And I'm not sure peeps are necessarily interested and don't want to crowd the board if not... So for those interested, I'm going to use this thread primarily to report the info my road dogs are emailing, texting or calling about.... etc etc.. I'll try to use judgment in limiting new threads to only major developments..... First on the menu appears to be CentCom's letter to the world (okay news folk) that they are indeed doing Air Strikes on Kobani.... In case you don

The battle of Kobane has been continuing for the past month. The attacks started on the 15th of September, and according to initial plans, firstly the surrounding the villages and then the town centre was to all by the 20th of September.

The ISIS Has Been Forced To Fall Back Near Kobani, You Won’t Believe Who Is Standing In Their Way The ISIS is now clearly a number one terror threat in size. Their barbaric acts have become all too apparent, and shockingly, they seem to continue their march into civilian regions, slaughtering men, women, and children with complete disregard to human life. Though America and Australia have begun aerial attacks, the ISIS fighters seemed to be gaining ground near Kobani, a relatively isolated enclave in Kurdistan. However, against all odds, a relatively puny force has positioned itself between

Long, but pretty much addresses the emergent questions as to what's really going on over there and if nothing else ...is a fairly concise framework with which to make sense out of why we are not doing what we said we were... Another humanitarian catastrophe may be just hours away at Kobani. The latter is the Syrian Kurdish town on the border with Turkey that is now surrounded by ISIS tanks and is being pounded day after day by ISIS heavy artillery.
