What about the Twin Towers? Did they not really fall?
What about the bombings at the Boston Marathon, where they faked as well?
What about the dude that lopped off the head of and American in the US recently? Was that a fake?
What about Mohammad himself that lopped off the heads of hundreds of his adversaries? Was this faked as well?
What about the beheadings in Saudi Arabia that happen pretty much every day? Are they faked?
I don't believe any of it was faked. But I was hoping to understand from Metal Brain who seems to believe that beheadings were faked why this danger too isn't faked.

Turkey (an ally of the USA) has always seen the Kurds as a threat. Is Obama allowing that threat to be eliminated?
Obama is all for the Jihadists, which means he is against the Kurds. This is why he allowed US built tanks to fall into their hands and has done nothing to destroy those tanks.

I don't think they do have American made tanks. I think journalists are manipulating headlines to make us think so. When I investigate the only tanks ISIS appear to have are Russian T55s.

They have American made Humvees.
No matter what tanks they have, we should be able to destroy them easy enough.

I am sure they did get weapons from the US indirectly and Saudi Arabia too. Somebody with deep pockets had to have armed them for them to take as much territory as they did. I am willing to consider the possibility that the USA is fine with what IS is doing and helping certain factions of IS more than others.
The Obama plan might be to let IS advance and then claim they need US ground troops to stop the advance when it is really to occupy and hold it. It does seems ridiculous that the air strikes can't take out most of those tanks.
It is obvious to me that US ground troops are part of the plan no matter how much Obama denies it.
You are right. Everyone in the area is anti Kurd, except when they are looking for an ally against another neighbor. The Kurds therefor don't trust anyone, least of all the US.
