Air Strikes on Syria.

Just watching the news and it says that the USA and other countries are involved in Air strikes in Syria.
Pentagon: US, partners begin airstrikes in Syria
The U.S. and partner nations began launching airstrikes against Islamic State group targets in Syria for the first time Monday night, expanding a military campaign against the militants with a mix of fighter jets, bombers and Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from ships in the region.
The strikes were part of the expanded military campaign that President Barack Obama's authorized nearly two weeks ago in order to disrupt and destroy the Islamic State militants, who have slaughtered thousands of people, beheaded Westerners, including two American journalists, and captured a large swath of territory stretching from within Syria to land across northern and western Iraq.
Because the military operation was ongoing, no details could be provided yet, said Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon's press secretary. He said the decision to strike was made earlier Monday by the military. He did not name the partner nations participating in the operation; however U.S. officials have said the U.S. would not launch this mission alone and some Arab nations had been expected to participate.
Some of the airstrikes of airstrikes were against Islamic State group targets in Raqqa. Military officials have said the U.S. would target militants' command and control centers, re-supply facilities, training camps and other key logistical sites.
"We will be prepared to strike ISIL targets in Syria that degrade ISIL's capabilities," Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told senators last week, using one of the acronyms for the Islamic State group. "This won't look like a shock-and-awe campaign, because that's simply not how ISIL is organized, but it will be a persistent and sustainable campaign.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that the plan "includes targeted actions against ISIL safe havens in Syria, including its command and control logistics capabilities and infrastructure." He said he and Dempsey approved the plan.
The U.S. has also been increasing its surveillance flights over Syria, getting better intelligent on potential targets and militant movements.
Military leaders have said about two-thirds of the estimated 31,000 Islamic State militants were in Syria.
In a speech Sept. 10, Obama vowed to go after the Islamic State militants wherever they may be. And his military and defense leaders told Congress last week that airstrikes within Syria are meant to disrupt the group's momentum and provide time for the U.S. and allies to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels.

And so it begins once more... ::)
New York recently mobilized the National Guard for undisclosed and vague "security" reasons. Obama's going to be in New York tomorrow. Air strikes in Syria happening now. Expect something big and equally nefarious to go down in NY tomorrow.
Harvest time is near.
And Winter is Coming.

Fighting words: Is this a war?
Prime Minister Tony Abbott is not calling the latest intervention in Iraq a 'war' but international leaders are increasingly using the term. See who is saying what.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-16/is-iraq-conflict-war/5745060
Watch this video then ask yourself...who are we REALLY bombing over there?

Israel military shoots down Syrian aircraft
AP 5 hr ago | By IAN DEITCH of Associated Press
JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military shot down a Syrian fighter jet that infiltrated its airspace over the Golan Heights on Tuesday morning — the first such downing in decades, heightening tensions in the volatile plateau.
The military said a "Syrian aircraft infiltrated into Israeli air space" in the morning hours and that the military "intercepted the aircraft in mid-flight, using the Patriot air defense system."
The military would not say what type of aircraft was downed and said the circumstances of the incident were "unclear."
A defense official identified the downed aircraft as a Sukhoi Su-24 Russian fighter plane. Perviously, it was reported to have been a MiG aircraft. He said the Syrian jet penetrated 800 meters (2,600 feet) into Israeli air space and tried to return to Syria after the Patriot missile was fired.
The crew managed to abandon the plane in time and landed in Syrian territory, the Israeli official said.
It was the first such incident since the war with Lebanon in 1982, the official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Israel has largely stayed on the sidelines of Syria's civil war raging across the border. But Israeli leaders appear increasingly nervous about the possibility of al-Qaida-linked fighters occupying the Golan's high ground over northern Israel.
Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said the aircraft had crossed into Israel in a "threatening way" and vowed to retaliate to any similar attempts in the future.
"We will not any allow element, whether it is a terror group or a state, to threaten our security and breach our sovereignty," he said. "We are committed first and foremost to ensure the security of the Israel's citizens and we will use all means at our disposal to do so," he said.
Israel has avoided taking sides in the three-year civil war in Syria, though Israeli troops have responded to occasional mortar fire that has landed on the Israeli side of the Golan. Israel says some of the attacks have been accidental spillover, while others have been intentionally aimed at Israeli civilians and soldiers. It has always held Syria responsible for any cross-border fire.
Israel and Syria are bitter enemies who have fought several wars.
Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war and later annexed the strategic area in a move that has never been internationally recognized.
While relations are hostile, the ruling Assad family in Syria has kept the border area with Israel quiet for most of the past 40 years. Israel is concerned that Assad's ouster could push the country into the hands of Islamic State extremists or other al-Qaida linked militants, or plunge the region further into sectarian warfare.
The Syrian government confirmed that Israel shot down one of its planes.
In August, Israel shot down a drone that had entered its side of the Golan Heights from Syria.

Yeah they needed to test some new weapons and clear out old stock :P

The multiple airstrikes launched on militant targets in Syria early Tuesday by the United States and five partner nations in the Middle East included a debut performance: The Air Force's stealthy F-22A Raptor flew its first combat mission, dropping bombs on multiple targets.
Just waiting on the headline...'BRAVE ISLAMIC FIGHTERS SHOOT DOWN THE GREAT SATAN'S NEW TOY'..... ::)

Good one Pimander...hit the delete button...lol
Once upon a time I worked for a defense contractor in 1990 and the company built Avenger trackers...the engineers went to the Gulf War area and were literally jubilant about the fact that the equipment would get tested in real combat. Wonder how many are doing that with new equipment over the past few years? The F-22 in actual combat role (dropping bombs) is actually a support role. Air to air combat with an equal fighter would be the real test.
You won't get rid of the Islam threat because you cannot get rid of an ideology unless you eradicate all the people believing it and then you have genocide. Countries should tighten their borders...let this go on over there because it has been going for hundreds of years. If your country goes to fight with an enemy like this...invalidate their passports and void their citizenship.
I know this sounds harsh but oh well....or like Zorgon said...nuke'em.

It might sound harsh in human terms but what does God have planned for them?

I have a difficult time considering it religion when it is accepting of executing women, children, infants, beheadings... in the "convert or die" context. Not so Godly.
Find the Ten Commandments in the Bible, , ,
"You shall NOT murder."
, , , now read the next two pages.
How many times did it list when to KILL? :P

Leviticus is even worse. SO many reasons to kill in the immutable word of God? ::)
, , , and yet in His WORD there can be forgiveness. ;D
(If they are forgivable.)
NOT in the laws of the world though, , , , :P

So we should nuke a whole part of the world because of a minority? What IS is doing we have done numerous times over and we did far worse! Its like back in the days of the church, the preachers held the power, in this case the Iman's that force their perverted version of the Koran( bible ) upon the Muslims(Christens/sheeple).
Jesus was a herder remember :D
And some fall for it, and some don't. They fall prey to the same forms of manipulation as we do.
Whether you like it or not, chances are IS is a direct/indirect product of our meddling.

Of course it comes from our meddling.
In my opinion, we had nothing directly to do with forming or supporting them. We DID support the FSA, who turned out to be people who would later join ISIS as much as those fighting Assad for decent reasons, but I honestly attribute that to incompetence and idiocy. Not deliberate actions. Policies and actions have been actively degrading American intelligence and military capability now for multiple years. Even if we could have done it in the past, we couldn't manage it successfully right now, in our present condition.
Still, it has everything to do with the instability created by a lack of leadership or finishing a job for how ISIS could ever have formed and grown to 10's of thousands this quickly in the first place. At least in my humble opinion.
We literally obliterated the Iraqi military. What wasn't done in combat was done in storage lots later, as mop-up and housekeeping tasks following the invasion and occupation. So, we left them with only what we specifically chose and deemed them fit to handle. We left them all but defenseless against internal threats, and a joke without humor against anything coming from outside.
Well..... nature absolutely cannot tolerate imbalance from a vacuum. Its true in biology and its true in society at large. We left a vacuum Mr. Hoover of cleaning machine fame would have had a coronary to see. In came someone very highly educated with very deep, very personal reasons to hate us, and with a passion that vibrates from the strength of conviction.
I just hope now, that what has been done can be undone, and before that very intelligent guy leading ISIS manages to push the idea that they have bloodline mandate back to Mohammad for the building of the 3rd Caliphate. Their growth to be a BIG pain in the butt or a power worthy of a world war to remove rests entirely on that one factor and their ability to push the fiction in an area of the world where education is....optional beyond a lower level than we'd ever consider acceptable.
Just my two carrots into the blender.
