Fox News<\/a> reports that France has launched it’s first airstrike against ISIS in Syria and the opening blow flattened an ISIS training camp. President Hollande says that they chose the target as a response to operations that ISIS sponsored against the French people;<\/p>\n

“The camp was totally destroyed,” Hollande said Sunday after arriving at the United Nations, before the start of a major development summit and the U.N. General Assembly bringing together world leaders.<\/p>\n

“We’re sure there were no casualties” among civilians, he added.<\/p>\n

The French president’s office announced the strikes, without details, in a statement hours earlier.<\/p>\n

“Our nation will strike each time our national security is at stake,” the statement said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My question is “How can there be a training camp left in Syria?” The US has been conducting airstrikes in the country for months, and it seems to me that our folks knew the camp was there, so how did it last long enough for the French to knock it out?<\/p>\n

Hollande announced on Sept. 7 France’s intention to start airstrikes, days after the photo of a dead 3-year-old Syrian boy galvanized public concern about Syrian refugees fleeing to save their lives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whatever. Good for the French, good for ISIS, but I still don’t see any strategy. All I see a bunch of emotional reaction to stuff.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to the Associated Press<\/a>, in eastern Afghanistan, ISIS adherents attacked Afghan police checkpoints – the first time ISIS has engaged with Afghan government forces deviating from their regular gun fights with the Taliban. Three Afghans were killed in the engagements. The Afghan government launched air strikes in response and they claim that the ISIS members they killed were all Pakistanis. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
