The fate of more than 700 boys and teenage detainees has become central to the siege of a Kurdish-run prison in Syria that was overrun on Friday by jihadists, who are accused of using the boys as human shields. 

As the siege around the Ghwayran prison in the Kurdish-run northern city of Hasakah entered a fifth day, Islamic State prisoners inside moved into a dormitory housing the boys, some of whom are as young as 12, in an attempt to prevent an assault by Kurdish forces stationed outside.

It is al Qaeda. They were wiped out in a region, but so long as you leave a branch office open in Pakistan, Iran, Jordan Iraq or elsewhere, they regenerate.

Hell AL Qaeda is proselytizing in the US on top of online. But big Bubba Clinton said the FBI could not listen to mosque sermons. Bug Bubba Clinton told the NYPD to also not listen. You know 'the muezzin is the most beautiful thing" Obama got Osama in Pakistan, but what about the rest of Al Qaeda in Pakistan. He oleft #2, #3, ,#4, ... alone. Obama is a team player.


Funny,, but the Russians have a larger presence in Syria by troop count and how many ISIS have they killed? Why have not the Russians wiped out ISIS?
