This post is a work in progress. Check back for updates because they are forthcoming!The news this morning, broke my heart. My husband read to me as I prepped food in the kitchen and he said “The US is bombing Syria” and I said “No!” Hightailed it towards the computer and there were the reports. I knew it was coming... But the knowing didn’t lessen my sadness and disgustAs I wrote for readers here, Saturday September 20/14 in this post
"Boots on the ground" pour into Syria- PKK appeals for Kurds to fight with ISIS in Syria
‘To conclude- The ISIS mercs, PKK terrorists and the Peshmerga are the boots on the ground for the impending airstrikes on Syria- And they are moving into place! Which is highly suggestive airstrikes are coming sooner rather then later.....’
And none of my readers said anything about this statement? I wondered, why? Was it too obvious that this was the case? And no one wanted to believe how ‘in your face’ this stuff is?I don’t know what others think, but, I really did wonder if that post had been deemed to ‘controversial’ for regulars?

Israel- terror state Syria is reporting the US notified Damascus before strikingSyria says Washington informed it before strikes
The Syrian foreign ministry said on Tuesday that the United States informed Damascus' envoy to the United Nations before launching airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Syria.
The ministry issued a brief statement, carried by Syrian state media, saying that "the American side informed Syria's permanent envoy to the U.N. that strikes will be launched against the Daesh terrorist organization in Raqqa."The ministry statement was Damascus' first official reaction after the U.S. and five Arab countries launched airstrikes

Airstrikes must be agreed with Syria or will fuel tension: Russia
MOSCOW: The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday any airstrikes against Islamic State's positions on Syrian territory must be agreed with Damascus and otherwise will fuel tension in the region. "Any such action can be carried out only in accordance with international law. That implies not a formal, one-sided 'notification' of airstrikes but the presence of explicit consent from the government of Syria or the approval of a corresponding UN Security Council decision," it said in a statement.
The airstrikes have expanded already! From Raqqa to Aleppo
Even as it launched sweeping new airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Syria, the U.S. military said Tuesday that it had expanded the campaign to the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, targeting an offshoot of Al Qaeda said to be plotting "imminent" attacks against American and Western targets.A total of eight U.S. air attacks carried out in Syria’s largest city were aimed at the "Khorasan Group," described in a U.S. Central Command statement as an organization of Al Qaeda veterans.The Aleppo campaign marked an expansion of the bombing effort launched initially against strongholds of Islamic State in eastern Syria, conducted by U.S. planes, drones and ships with the help of five Arab nations.The strikes indicate that the U.S. air campaign in Syria has broader objectives than going after the Islamic State, the target of the attacks in eastern Syria.

Oh and btw- the new terror group- Khorasan?
- Greater Khorasan, a historic region which lies mainly in modern-day Iran. It was previously known as Parthia; later, during the Sassanid era, it was changed to Khorasan.
Oops I mean Khorasan, yeah, yeah, Khorasan
Why are they called Khorasan?Khorasan was an ancient province of eastern Persia, which the group aims to recreate. The territory encompasses present-day Afghanistan, eastern Iran, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. According to jihadists, this the place where they will defeat their enemies.Why are they a threat to the United States?
Because the US always needs an enemy to justify it's war making?
Which nation is next on the NATO/US/Israel hit list ? You already know it! Iran.Khorasan connects us neatly to Iran. How is that for pre-selling the next war?UPDATE # 1 - TURKISH ARMY TO BE AUTHORIZED IN IRAQ AND SYRIA IN NECESSITY, DAVUTOĞLU SAYS
