"We are reaching a really terrifying conclusion for the whole world: That the White House is defending Islamic State

U.S.-led coalition air strikes killed dozens of Syrian soldiers on Saturday, Russia and a monitoring group said, putting a U.S.-Russian brokered ceasefire in jeopardy and prompting an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting.

 

The United States military said the coalition stopped the attacks against what it had believed to be Islamic State positions in northeast Syria after Russia informed it that Syrian military personnel and vehicles may have been hit.

 

A U.S. military official said he was "pretty sure" targets mistakenly hit in the strikes were Syrian forces.

 

Russia called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council after the incident, and diplomats said the 15-member body was due to meet behind closed doors at 7:30 p.m. ET.

 

Moscow cited the strikes, which allowed Islamic State fighters to briefly overrun a Syrian army position near Deir al-Zor airport, as evidence that the United States was helping the jihadist militants.

 

"We are reaching a really terrifying conclusion for the whole world: That the White House is defending Islamic State. Now there can be no doubts about that," the RIA Novosti news agency quoted Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying.

 

She said the strikes threatened to undermine the ceasefire in Syria brokered by Russia, which has been aiding Syria's President Bashar al-Assad in the civil war, and the United States, which has backed some rebel groups.

 

The Russian Defence Ministry said U.S. jets had killed more than 60 Syrian soldiers in four air strikes by two F-16s and two A-10s coming from the direction of Iraq.

 

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based monitoring group with contacts across Syria, cited a military source at Deir al-Zor airport as saying at least 80 Syrian soldiers had been killed.

 

The ceasefire, which took effect on Monday, is the most significant peacemaking effort in Syria for months, but has been undermined by repeated accusations of violations on both sides and by a failure to bring humanitarian aid to besieged areas.

World War 3?

Shameful that we are now overtly backing Terroroism, lets see, we make a "mistake", and kill 70 syrians, it's sorry. If the russians do it, it's a war crime, putins fault, and Obama wont stop bitching about it.

 

We need Trump right now.

Our Muslim President has been defending Islam for the last 8 years. 

The Muslim call to prayer, he believes, is the most beautiful sound in the world.

Every time there has been an attack by a Muslim, our President immediately hits the air waves to tell America that it must not blame Islam.  The attack and the dead Americans are not his main concern - the most important thing to him is to blame anything other than Islamic terrorism.

 

I don't know how we ever voted in a bunch of socialist - but we are following Europe down the road to Hell.  Add in a Muslim sympathizing President that insists that we cripple our energy producers - and we have put the final straw on the camel that was carrying us across the desert.

And still half the country votes Democratic no matter how Un-American the Democrats have become.  If Obama and Hillary can just get a few million more refugees here to vote for them, America is history.  These leaders of ours don't care if these immigrants hate America or have a percentage of terrorists in their midst - they are certain to vote Democratic.  And, that is more important to them than protecting America. 

We need to get rid of professional politicians.  The first step is to elect a president that is not bought and paid for by special interest.

You can sit there and bitch all you want but it's because of your buddy George W Bush that we're in this position today. The idiot let 9/11 happen and then invaded the wrong country lol. I didn't see another 9/11 happen under Obama's watch. Oh and Obama is Catholic so nice try.
