Stunning Revelation: Obama Whitehouse Picking Targets In Anti-ISIS Air Campaign

BALTIMORE, Maryland October 24, 2014 - So mistrustful of the United States Military Services during the current war against ISIS, President Obama and his Whitehouse Political Functionaries are themselves telling the Pentagon who and what the Air Force can bomb and when they can bomb them, and, also, who and what they are not permitted to bomb. Thus, political appointees without military training are telling Air Force Pilots who they may bomb in the ISIS campaign and when they may bomb them, and these same ultra left political appointees are also instructing the pilots who and what they are not permitted to bomb.

The incredible spectre of this arrangement became clear about ten days ago when military observers on the ground noted how few air sorties were being flown against ISIS during the all out battle for Kobani, a city on the Syrian-Turkish border. Lightly armed but supremely dogged Kurdish Peshmurga militia are fighting a life and death battle to prevent ISIS from overrunning the city, but during the lead up to the battle, when ISIS had to traverse open ground to get near enough to Kobani for their artillery, only a few air strikes were called. This, despite the fact that ISIS forces were extremely vulnerable to such strikes. Only after the battle was well underway has the US stepped up the number of strikes. President Obama was, early on, saying publicly that Kobani was not an important location in the fight against ISIS. Military observers - even in the United States Military - openly disagreed, and the ferocity of the fighting on both sides belied Obama's statements. Finally, the message must have gotten through to whomever was calling the shots in the air campaign because the intensity and volume of airstrikes and other air missions, such as dropping supplies and even weapons to the Peshmerga, have dramatically increased in recent days.

Historically, a President approves a specific military campaign, then allows his trained military commanders to conduct the nuts and bolts of the conflict. But Obama and his ultra far left functionaries refuse to do this and instead are picking targets for the air strikes themselves. Sources have said that the degree of mistrust held by Obama's functionaries, and Obama himself, have led to this situation. Interviewed on Fox News on Friday morning, retired military officer Jack Kean quoted sources at the Pentagon with information about this situation.
