The best news I've been able to access so far (to include NPR, Al Jazeera News, MSNBC, and POTUS (Sirius satellite radio) explains that ISIL has been concentrating its group power largely in the eastern parts of Syria, whereas Putin stumble-bummed his ornery way to the west of Syria where the Syrian rebels operate---Putin is attempting to support the ruthless Assad regime by bombing and attacking the Syrian people. Our response to this aggression will probably have to be covert as well as overt, but Putin cannot be allowed to continue his arrogant abuses.
