ISIS takes credit in downing Russian airliner

[Michael Barwell]

What I don't ken, is how, after a year or so of the 'western' coalition air campaign, in which 22,000 bombs have been dropped, why after 5weeks or so, the Russkis would suddenly be targeted. I gather that western security agencies/companies have been involved in improving the security in/around Sharm el Sheik for c.9months, according to tv msm vagueness. I have this strong suspicion that the west - loosley speaking, are bigging-up ISIL-land as a neat place to go live, for some, utilising the thing as an opportunity, rather than seeing it as problematic. Maybe it's the case that 22,000 bombs they dropped, missed the professed targets but strikes the right PR for domestic consumption; ISIL's territory has increased, and I gather their numbers have too, since the grand strategy of deliberate failure began - deliberate failure 'cos it's boots on the ground that'll trounce 'em, and that does not mean the FSA or the Kurds - or the Iraqi army, for sure. I wonder if what their is of the air campaign, is making the attempt to push ISIL westwards, into Syria, for purpose.

Weren't they saying a yr. ago or so, that there were c.65,000 ISIL types, which, if one bomb hit one loony, would've represented quite a hit to ISIL's numbers... Gotta love these for-profit endeavours. I'm calling these ISIL-types, boogeymen, from now on; it's like bogeymen, but more choreographed.
