U.S. strategy in tatters as ISIL marches on

The battle for Kobani: Kurds fighting desperately against ISIL

"World View: American-led air attacks are failing. Jihadis are close to taking Kobani, in Syria – and in Iraq western Baghdad is now under serious threat"

Kurd machine-gunner holds ISIL squads in temporary abeyance

Folks, what we're seeing over in Iraq and Syria is a decisive shift in ISIL's combat momentum. What seems to be happening is that ISIL is capturing territory, logistics, and materiel like crazy. The balance of power is shifting and it doesn't look good for the Iraqis. Soon enough ISIL will be at the gates of Baghdad and there won't be a Holy Roman Empire and a Holy League to ride in with a Polish cavalry and save the day. The slaughter will be horrendous; a foreshadowing of what could occur elsewhere if a true leader of the West, with an authentic winning strategy doesn't appear, and soon.

Islamofascists murdering captured Iraqis

Capturing and subjugating Iraq and eventually a large part of Syria will embolden jihadists world-wide and soon enough lead to direct attacks on civilian populations in America and in the rest of the West.
"Unfortunately for the US, Kobani isn't the only place air strikes are failing to stop Isis. In an offensive in Iraq launched on 2 October but little reported in the outside world, Isis has captured almost all the cities and towns it did not already hold in Anbar province, a vast area in western Iraq that makes up a quarter of the country. It has captured Hit, Kubaisa and Ramadi, the provincial capital, which it had long fought for. Other cities, towns and bases on or close to the Euphrates River west of Baghdad fell in a few days, often after little resistance by the Iraqi Army which showed itself to be as dysfunctional as in the past, even when backed by US air strikes."

I'm not betting on the regime in the emerald city on the Potomac to be able to handle this whole cluster f**k correctly or decisively. What is more likely is that Baghdad falls, Iraq falls, and direct 4GW attacks on the West by ISIL and Islamist allies ramp up potentially contributing to (among other causes) an economic collapse with consequent crackdown by governments on their populations in the West. You do have a plan don't you? We three percenters hope your plan involves cooperation with other patriots when things go kinetic. Do you understand?
