Islamic State kills 150 captured troops in Syria, say activists:
UN says 43 peacekeepers also detained during fighting in the Golan Heights
Islamic State militants killed more than 150 of the troops captured in recent fighting in north-eastern Syria. It is the latest mass killing attributed to the extremists, activists said, with the violence coming during a 24-hour period. The troops were either shot or slashed with knives.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said many of the soldiers killed were rounded up on Wednesday in the arid countryside near the Tabqa airfield, three days after Islamic State fighters seized the base. The government troops were among a large group of soldiers from the base who were stuck behind the front lines after the airfield fell to the jihadi fighters.
The Observatory said around 120 captive government troops from Tabqa were killed near the base. Islamic State fighters killed at least another 40 soldiers, most of whom had been taken prisoner in recent fighting for other bases in the Hamrat region near Raqqa city, the group's stronghold.
A statement posted online and circulated on Twitter by supporters of the Islamic State group claimed the extremists killed "about 200" government prisoners captured near Tabqa. It also showed photographs of those it said were the prisoners: young men stripped down to their underwear marching in the desert. The photos could not immediately be verified.

“I don’t want to put the cart before the horse"
President Barack Obama seemed to commit the worst of Washington gaffes Thursday when he updated the American people about the ongoing threat from Islamist militants wreaking havoc in Iraq and Syria.
“I don’t want to put the cart before the horse: we don’t have a strategy yet,” Obama said of the effort to combat the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) in its safe haven in Syria.“ I think what I’ve seen in some of the news reports suggest that folks are getting a little further ahead of what we’re at than what we currently are.”
Obama’s comment that “we don’t have a strategy,” delivered to reporters at the White House before the Labor Day holiday weekend, prompted immediate mockery from Republicans — not to mention quick damage control from the White House.

Obama will go golfing and watch reports of a terror attack on America on TV... He will know nothing about it, blame it on Bush, and go back to golfing.

That is true and the horse is on the cart.

Should President Obama Have Said There's No Strategy Yet Against ISIS?
During a news conference Thursday, Obama’s blunt admission that “we don’t have a strategy yet” landed with a thud — particularly after others in his administration have been ratcheting up calls to eradicate the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS, labeling the extremists as a “valueless evil.”
“It’s an OMG day because there (Obama) is, undercutting the entire foundation that his people seemed to be on the same page for,” said Kaufman, who is writing a book about the “perils” of the Obama presidency. “Now we look confused and in disarray.”
Republican lawmakers pounced on the statement as an example of Obama’s perceived indecisiveness:
No matter what Obama meant Thursday, his admission of no clear-cut strategy only serves to embolden the likes of ISIS, Kaufman said.

Sometimes the game plan of the "No Strategy" fits best in to the concept of the protracted war of the muslamic terrorist infighting. However the same thing at occasions can lead to a global war of catastrophe due to ulterior motives.
