I've Been Thinking:
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, said that US activity in Syria is helping ISIS.
Nasrallah made the statement during a TV presentation.
According to Hassan Nasrallah: "The American air force in some areas prevents the Syrian army and its allies from advancing in areas controlled by Islamic State" ... "The Americans are working to hinder the battle against Islamic State."
This is an exaggeration, it is also a mistake
The US is not helping ISIS. But the US is trying to prevent a massacre in Syria.
The only way to do that is to make certain that Syria does not have free reign to murder innocent civilians who are affiliated with ISIS or, more likely, innocents who live in areas that ISIS controls and are terrorized by ISIS.
That is what the US is doing. Nasrallah knows that. He was looking for a sensational headline - and he found it.
