We are told that our bombing campaign is having less-than-stellar success....That despite the claims that we are "degrading" the ISIS forces, those on the ground report little actual effect.
Further... We were advised a few weeks ago that the defense department had to admit that instead of "hundreds" of US trained fighters being sent to the front lines, there were perhaps 5 or 6.
Further... That the initial group of fighters sent in were ambushed by Al Qaeda forces and captured and all their supplies and ammunition taken. Survivors were apparently later released to join the fight with whatever supplies they could scrounge.
Just now, we are informed that a second group of fighters sent in were likewise waylaid by Al Qaeda and dealt with similarly. (might we assume that Al Qaeda has better intelligence than we?)
No one except sundry Kurds and various indigenous folks seem to have any interest at all in fighting ISIS or wresting any territory from them except perhaps for Assad and the Russians, who don't want to see the rest of the country fall into ISIS hands and thier buddy Assad's head on a pike somewhere.
