Editor's notes: before reading the following nonsense about Obama's success in Iraq, you should know this: we fly four meaningful bombing runs per day, compared to 800 per day in the Bush War against al Qaeda in Iraq. We have 3,000 troops in that country, none have permission to fight against ISIS. In the Bush War, we had well over 100,000. There is no "60 member coalition." That is a number made up by John Kerry, a week after he and Obama "committed" to fighting ISIS. Bush had 40 member nations, with 27 countries actually on the ground or in the air, in Iraq. And the "10,000" number? That is what Blinken says have been killed . . . . . . in the past 9 months. Extend that out, and you have a 5 year total (the length of the Bush War) of 66,000 or 1,100 per month. There are only 30,000 ISIS soldiers in Iraq and Syria. Somebody is lying their skinny, cowardly buns off.
The Toronto Globe And Mail: More than 10,000 Islamic State fighters have been killed since the international coalition started its campaign against the militant group nine months ago in Iraq and Syria, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday.
Speaking after the coalition met in Paris, he said there had been a great deal of progress in the fight against Islamic State but that the group remained resilient and capable of taking the initiative.
“We have seen a lot of losses within Daesh since the start of this campaign, more than 10,000,” Blinken said on France Inter radio, using a mildly derogatory term for Islamic State. “It will end up having an impact.”
(Make note: "Daesh" is the word officially used by the Administration and its supporters, rather than "ISIS" or "al Qaeda." ~ this blog's editor).
On Tuesday, Western and Arab states carrying out air strikes on Islamic State fighters backed Iraq’s plan for retaking territory after being accused by the Iraqi premier of not doing enough to help Baghdad push back the insurgents. Keep reading
