US forces in Turkey hit ISIS in Syria with rocket fire - envoy

[Origanalist]

Washington has deployed mobile rocket artillery in the south of Turkey in order to target Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) militants in Syria, a special US envoy reported on Saturday.
The US forces hit IS positions close to the Syrian border with Turkey last night, having launched the attack on terrorists with a "newly deployed" High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), the US-led anti-IS coalition's special presidential envoy, Brett McGurk said on Twitter.

The American embassy in Turkey confirmed the HIMARS deployment, calling it "the latest step in US-Turkey cooperation" in fighting the terror group in the region.

Last night:U.S. HIMARS in place and in action. The latest step in U.S.-Turkey cooperation inthe fight against #ISIL.

(finally?.. we should ask why the hegemons couldn't defeat ISIS in Jarablus for 3 years. ANS: corridor for jihaddis/ISIS beheaders. So.. we're supposed to 'cheer' now?... oh.. ok. ***yea,waves flag***)
(This 'action' is simply diplomatic/Biden 'make up sex' btw Washington & Ankara.. apologizing for CIA coup attempt. Good luck w/ that.)

Sure looks like war to me. Where is that Declaration of War from Congress?

All US 'participation' (now) is strictly for 'show'..
trying to pretend some sort of relevance.
US HAS no fodder left to manipulate on the ground.
NOBODY trusts them now.. ALL their intrigue
has become exposed and unraveled..
from Gulen to the Kurds.
The OP is just a 'me too' media stunt.
Obvious, sad and sickening.

After Ukraine, this humiliation makes them DOUBLE DANGEROUS.


====================

All 'conversations' at this level are secreted.
So... this is logic/observation/conjecture,
but..
It attempts to explain where things stand (at the moment) and why:

►Putin and Erdogan Have Agreed on a Road Map in Syria: The Kurds and al-Qaeda Will Be the Main Losers

 

[muh_roads]

US boots on the ground without congressional approval. Color me shocked.

They just do what they want and make up whatever they want.

Not Coincidence

MhmtSlmz: *Turkish military 1st entered Syria a day before VP Biden's visit
Today, the army opened 2nd front a day before Obama-Erdogan meeting @ G20
and
@MhmtSlmz: Aug 26: Erdogan spoke w/ Putin hours after Turkish tanks entered into Syria
Today: the Two leaders met shortly after Turkey opened 2nd front in Syria
