U.S. Now Bombing Syria

September 23rd, 2014

Via: Vox:

Shortly before dawn local time on Tuesday, the US began launching air strikes in Syria against the jihadist group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), as part of President Obama’s effort to “degrade and defeat” the group that has seized vast parts of both countries and beheaded two American journalists.

    NY Times Editorial Board:

    It’s fair to assume that President Bashar al-Assad of Syria was awed, but not shocked, by the barrage of bombs that American planes dropped early Tuesday over insurgent-held areas in northern Syria. It appears, in fact, that he was quite pleased.

    And here’s another gem of a quote that all across the web on various sites — I just picked the South African site randomly:

    In a remarkable sign of shifting Middle Eastern alliances, the attacks took place with no objection — and even signs of tacit approval — from President Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian government, which said Washington had notified it in advance.

    IS ANYBODY ELSE SCRATCHING THEIR HEAD? Is Assad even alive? I mean, really, what the fuck is going on?
