"I can confirm that U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL [ISIS] terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles," Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said. "Given that these operations are ongoing, we are not in a position to provide additional details at this time. The decision to conduct theses strikes was made earlier today by the U.S. Central Command commander under authorization granted him by the commander in chief. We will provide more details later as operationally appropriate."

In My Opinion this is just gonna create another ISIS or Al Queda. All bombing people does is create hate, and grow more "Terrorist", because to them America is the Terrorist. Especially when these bombings kill ordinary citizens. The sons, and daughters of those Citizens grow up with hatred for the people who killed their father, mother, brother, grandma, etc. This seems to be an endless cycle that just keeps the War going, and the only one that this helps is the people who make money creating and selling military gear to the Military. I understand that the government has to do something, but they better be precise, they better just kill the bad guys, or they are just growing more of them.

That argument is old and worn out, this time the region is under total control of the enemy, any people alive there have sworn allegiance to the Caliphate or they are already dead with their heads on pikes or buried alive in the sand somewhere.
Bombs away

It is odd how quickly we can forget the past when we decide to take down an enemy that is politically more convenient...

I agree with you.
Have you seen the numbers for refugees being driven out by ISIS? We may alienate some, but we're far more likely to be welcomed by the majority. This ISIS scum seems a lot more hated by the locals than Al-Qaeda was.
