Funny part is that Americans bombed Nusra positions in Idlib and Aleppo (which opposes IS), but did not bomb IS which attack Kurds in Kobani.
I dont know what are these strikes about but surely not about protection of civilians from IS.

there you go New US-led airstrikes hit Syrian territory – monitor — RT News
anyways, Israel have many times intervened on behalf of their beloved Nusra terrorists, yesterday they shot down a Syrian jet that was bombing AQ .... and yet Israel claims they fear AQ spread while they are supporting it.... btw these US strikes in Syria are a joke, they have a bigger plan in their mind, they want an excuse for ground troops....
in your dreams!!
first ever "mission" by the saudi air force and you're saying they going to invade Syria.. what are you going to say tomorrow they invaded Iraq, Iran and the whole Middle east??and for those idiots who think that attacks were against Syrian army, could they provide source.... the us published videos and etc regarding I$I$ attacks, but nothing regarding Syria army and etc???
so one jet was chasing 50+ jets
, NICE LOGIC!!and you must be an idiot if you think the jets passed over Syria first, they went through Iraq... from their they entered Alraqqa and part of Aleppo... unless you have the actual radar track or route... for now that seems the best option since Americans control most of GCC countries, it would be easier to go through Iraq first.... so tell us what Syrian military postilions were bombed?

they've looted a shit ton of heavy weapons and armor, tanks, APCs, artillery etc and now with former Saddam's army people in their ranks they operate pretty much like a regular army. Plenty of targets for the US.Care to 'explain' Slumdog?!

Nasrallah rejects US strikes on Daesh
‘Lebanon does not need to be part of coalition as it can fight terrorism on its own’
Even if his presentation was utterly confused, Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil affirmed to a group of expatriates in Los Angeles several days ago, that Lebanon was a political participant in the coalition fighting Daesh, because “we are in heart of the battle.” He clarified that “Lebanon takes and does not give, because we do not own weapons or jets to contribute with in the attacks on Daesh.”
On Tuesday evening, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah rejected his ally’s affirmation, declaring: “We are against American military intervention and against the international coalition, whether the target is the (Syrian) regime or Daesh.” He continued: “Our principled stance does not change from one arena to another and we don’t accept that Lebanon becomes a member of this coalition,” though he said nothing about Iranian interventions in Iraq and Syria.
Although Nasrallah explained his position in classic Hezbollah terminology:“We are against the coalition because America is the mother and source of terrorism and because it is the ultimate supporter of Zionist state terrorism”—it was clear that he made a link between the latest military attacks in Syria and the Damascus regime, as he further disagreed with Beirut’s dissociation policy, which he perceived as posing “threats to Lebanon.” Adding insult to injury, Nasrallah overlooked that Hezbollah accepted the 2012 disassociation policy, which was approved by the Najib Miqati government.
At a time when his own militia was heavily involved in the Syrian Civil War, and in light of bloody confrontations in such spots as Arsal and other cities, Nasrallah asserted that Lebanon “does not need” to be part of the coalition against Daesh, because it can easily fight terrorism as it has in the past “through the army, security forces and perseverance.”
The reference to the Lebnese army was especially painful given that three soldiers were beheaded by Daesh and/or Jabhat Al Nusra terrorists after they were abducted on August 2, 2014, while at least 22 men in uniform were still held as hostages. Nasrallah denied accusations that his militia was preventing the government from negotiating with militants to secure the release of all abductees. On the contrary, he declared that it was “normal to engage in negotiations” and gave the example of the talks with Israel over captives and the bodies of martyrs. Still, he warned that Beirut ought to negotiate through intermediaries from a position of strength and that mediators as well as the kidnappers “must be informed of Lebanon’s cards of strength” without defining what those might well be though he amplified his ideas by recommending the government to say “we won’t negotiate under the pressure of killing and slaughter.” The Secretary-General lamented that Lebanon “suffered political humiliation for weeks due to some political practices,” and called on rival factions to keep their powder dry, even if Sunni clerics ensured the release of 7 abductees to date.
Ironically, and for all his calls to join hands and fight in unison against foes, parliament failed to ensure a quorum yesterday to elect a president of the republic, postponing for the 13th time its constitutionally mandated duty to October 9.

Iran minister hails ‘new chapter’ in Saudi ties
It was the first foreign minister-level meeting since Rouhani’s election
Iran and Saudi Arabia held their first foreign minister-level meeting since the 2013 election of President Hassan Rouhani, official Iranian media reported, signalling a possible thaw in chilly ties between the rival Gulf powers.
Iran and Saudi Arabia have been engaged in a bitter contest for influence in the region, evident in political and military struggles in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Bahrain and Yemen.
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif suggested after his meeting in New York with his Saudi counterpart, Prince Saud Al Faisal, that the talks could lead to an improvement in relations.
“Both my Saudi counterpart and I believe that this meeting will be the first page of a new chapter in our two countries’ relations,” Iran’s official Irna news agency quoted Zarif as saying.
“We hope that this new chapter will be effective in establishing regional and global peace and security and will safeguard the interests of Muslim nations across the world.”
Irna reported that Prince Saud, in a reference to the advance of Isil militants in Iraq and Syria, said he was aware of the sensitivity of the situation.
“We are aware of the importance and sensitivity of this crisis and the opportunity we have ahead of us. We believe that by using this precious opportunity and avoid the mistakes of the past, we can deal with this crisis successfully,” he said.
“These two countries are influential in the region and cooperation between them will have clear effects on the establishment of regional and global security.”

Perhaps then you should educate yourself and research for yourself? That is also an option you know.

It's interesting to see Arab countries joining America in such an open and brazen manner. But what effect does it have on their indigenous, conservative population? My guess is that the Islamic State will have plenty of new recruits in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Jordan.

a bunch of kuffars and murtadines dictators, they claim to fight khawarij but target AQ mujahedines knowing full well their Enmity
Do they think SC or Kurdish murtadines can fill the gap if ISIS r defeated ? they would be dumb to bet on the "moderates". bc when ISIS falls, AQ n IF r going to take over Syria .
Anyways, if they lose to the young teethed khawarij it's gonna be the end of all of them dictators
