I found this article quite interesting:

10 Civilians Killed in Airstrikes in Syria

At least 10 civilians have been killed in coalition airstrikes against Islamic State forces in eastern and northeastern Syria, according to a monitoring group.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Saturday that the civilians were killed in two regions the eastern Deir al-Zor province and the northeastern province of al-Hassakah.

Seven people were killed in an airstrike on a gas station near Koniko gas factory near the town of al-Khasham in Deir al-Zor province on Friday.

In al-Hasakah province, three civilians including a child under the age of 18 were killed when airstrikes targeted oil fields near Kabiba village, south of the provinces capital. There is no information on whether there were workers in the local oil fields or not, the monitoring group added.

Interesting video on the fundamentals behind ISIS/ISIL....etc



He has several videos on YouTube if you are interested. Several of his new videos cover the crisis in Iraq and Syria.


Groovy

It's funny how most people say "If you were a civilian over there, wouldn't you want help from USA?

My answer would be no. Maybe if we hadn't been the world police for so long and 'helping' every country that needs help, they wouldn't be so dependent on us being there. They would have been more powerful and independent if we never showed up. Most countries over there rely on us to go and help, which is why we're in the situation now and why it'll never end and only bad will come out of it.

Just out of curiosity, are you in the United States? Because I see your ignorant comments everywhere about the US.

He uses words like 'we' and 'us' so I think it's safe to assume that he's from the USA.
As for his comments being ignorant? I think he's right and wrong to a certain extent.
I think that there are instances when certain countries do need help and can't sort out their own problems, but there are also different ways of helping rather than military campaigns and bombing certain factions, which I'm assuming is the type of intervention that he's against.
That ideology might be arguable though, especially in the case of a group like ISIS when the only obvious solution does seem to be violence.

For anyone who watched the great video that Casca had put up, you would notice that the man speaking spoke about the way the US and the world has approached the situation in the middle east; and he is spot on with everything he said. The Islamic State is based upon a violent and medieval ideology that a new caliphate must be created in order to have a state governed by extreme Sharia Law. Is is this type of Ideology that must be attacked otherwise it will continue to spread and others will be drawn into it.

Military action only helps to a certain extent but like Dr. Sebastian Gorka said, we have approached all matters like this and similar since 9/11 in the wrong way. We tend to care more on stopping our enemies taking control rather than think what has led them to do this and why. That is what is important here.

Canadian Soldier Dies After Suspected Islamic Radical's Car Attack

A soldier from Canada has been killed after a road accident suspected to have been caused by an Islamic militant. He was one of two soldiers involved in the attack which is the first of its kind in Canada since it joined the fight against IS.

The identity of the soldier who died on Tuesday has not yet been released, a police spokesman told Reuters. The 25-year-old driver, however, was identified by Canadian media as Martin Couture-Rouleau who was a Quebec resident.

The anonymous soldier had been walking near a Quebec shopping center when he was mowed down in an attack, following a car chase, which police officials say was deliberate. The incident took place in the town of Saint-Jean-sue-Richelieu on Monday. Rouleau was shot dead by police shortly after the attack.

Syrian Air Force Destroys 2 of 3 Jets Seized by ISIS

The Syrian Air Force has destroyed two of three jets seized by the Islamic State (IS) group last week, the information minister in Damascus said. Omran al-Zoubi said on television that Syrian aircraft bombed the jets as they were landing at Jarrah airbase in the eastern countryside of Aleppo province. The militants were able to hide a third jet, which the Syrian Air Force is now searching for, AP quoted the minister as saying.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights had reported that IS militants flew three MiG fighter jets over the air base with the help of former Iraqi air force pilots.
