Shouldn't it be "Arab-led air strikes, assisted by America". Since five Sunni Arab nations with far
more on the line than trembling America half a world away, I think I am right.
They are doing more missions, and they have fighter groups with female commanders, that is more than just a bit of human interest news.
And the Arab nations are not afraid of ISIS, they are not shitting their pants over a beheading.
Meanwhile in trembling, terrorized America the major media turns up the terror machine knob to Full Fear Factor and folks are being told to hide under their beds.
The major media have become allies of the terrorists, both are spreading fear as far and wide as they can.
It is obvious, it is disgusting and irrational....the major media are doing it on purpose, the major media campaign for one more hit of the old war crack pipe that the entire nation is addicted to, shaking like a junkie missing its fix.
You can almost feel the rush of relief when the first bombs were dropped and those glorious clips of
America's glorious and gloriously expensive air war machines were like balm to a festering wound.
America, modern plutocratic, divided AMERICA, is the greatest threat to America in history, not a bunch of pickup riding religious zealots with a modern video editing studio 10,000 miles and an ocean away.
Land of the brave?
Prove it.
.....................
Edit: Seems the very notion of America not doing the majority of the killing in a war campaign, in combination with the notion of being led by, gasp, Arabs and Muslims, is beyond the capacity of some folks to handle.
Why am I not totally surprised? OK, maybe America can be the Sheriff and the Arab fighter pilots from five nations near the conflict can be America's Local Deputies, all better now?

Your list is only a short list. And a couple of them have a history themselves that they apparently would like to repeat so are tagging along with the LATEST Empire obviously feeling a bit nostolagic for the old brutal Colonial days, which are not that far back. See Apartheid, Northern Ireland, Algeria and much of Africa and the ME and then ask the people there who suffered under these old Colonialists for CENTURIES, how they feel about their jumping on board AGAIN to try to recolonize the world.
But to get to a few of the more recent Brutal Dictators we are in bed with.
Let's start with the 'five Arab Allies' in this latest foray into yet another war.
Know anything about the Bahrain Dictatorship?
How about the Saudis?
Qator? Whose 'boots' are now our proxy armies, in Libya, another spectacular disaster for the unfortunate people who live there.
Italy you mentioned? Know anything about Italy and Libya eg?
So we have a new 'Coalition of Dictators' helping us now in Syria and Iraq.
But that's just the beginning of the list of Brutal Dictatorships we are in bed with.
Here's a great example. Uzbekistan. We pay the genocidal maniac, Karamov, who runs that tragic place, MILLIONS to let us keep a base there, making it possible for him to continue his reign of terror against his own people. Genocide, of protesters. Torture, burning people in oil.
THAT is who we support, while claiming we are opposed to 'dictators'. Just one or our decades long support of dictators.
Iraq was a spectacular failure. Al Queda IS ISIS. And do you know who created AQ in the first place?
If only they taught history in schools here, Americans would not be so susceptible to propaganda, they would know their own government's decades long associations with some of the recent world's worst thugs and torturers and dictators.
But maybe that is why they don't teach that history.
See South America, eg, another one of our allies, Pinochet, who was protected from prosecution when he was finally about to be brought to justice in his own country. Yes, the UK protected that particular criminal.
But I know, we are the 'good guys' and we only want to 'help create democracies all over the place'.
