Friends, just in case you don't understand how evil and sick our government is, you should read the article above in full.
Not only do we wage endless war and waste an ungodly amount of money, but our enemy never seems to grow any weaker and in fact launches more and more attacks against the West and the rest of the world. The US Gov's incompetence is staggering.
I've heard tell that a lot of these bombs are being dropped on abandoned towns in the middle of nowhere. Hence why there was at one stage such a huge media circus focussing on "how many bombs we dropped" as being a marker for effectiveness (high fives for everyone in the military industrial complex).
The US needs ISIS to remain a threat in Iraq so they can keep the pimp hand strong with the Iraqi government. The sense of the balance being "if you don't give us what we want then we're going to let those head hackers overrun this place."
It's a sham effort, they're destroying Syria for Israel, and arming mercenaries and useful idiot foreign jihadis (ISIS) to fight the secular Syrian Arab Army.
If the US/Nato really wanted to bomb Isis, there wouldn't be any Isis armored vehicle or truck left within a week or two. Their supply roads would be toast in 48hrs. Instead of bombing them, they are actually supplying them, and bombing random targets in Syrian cities, while also arming other sides like the Kurds to fight them.
Here's a pickup truck that was purchased in Houston, then shipped to southeast Turkey and delivered to Isis:

Now why in hell would anyone pay thousands of dollars to purchase a truck in Texas, in US$, an expensive hard currency by Euro/Turkish standards, and thousands more to have it shipped halfway around the world to supply Isis? It doesn't make economic sense...Follow the money.
