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



    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:

    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
