Starting...
The U.S.-led coalition fighting ISIS militants in Syria and Iraq has caused a "staggering loss of civilian life" with airstrikes around the Islamic extremists' remaining stronghold in the Syrian city of Raqqa, a top United Nations human rights official.
U.S. military officials insist there has been no change in the rules of engagement for American forces operating in those two countries against ISIS, and say higher civilian casualties were always expected as the militants are increasingly squeezed into shrinking territory.
Also on Wednesday, the Human Rights Watch group accused the U.S.-led coalition of endangering civilians in and around Raqqa by using artillery-delivered white phosphorous, after reports that such weapons were used in the Syrian city.
The northern Iraqi city of Mosul and the northern Syrian city of Raqqa, the extremist group's de facto capital, have been under attack by different groups. The U.S. military says it uses white phosphorous in a lawful way.
By the time Raqqa falls, the real war begins between everybody else. Just a thought. Just a thought.

Loss...*
Eric Cantor's primary defeat [2014] sent shockwaves and rattled the nerves of other Republican facing Tea Party challenges. Cantor lost to college professor, a political novice Dave Brat, who ran a Spartan effort in Virginia with tea party support. . He would step down as House majority leader.[Spending was 25 -1].
Shocked critics and analysts said he neglected his base at home. Taking conservative positions but wasn't enough. A successful primary challenge to a leadership candidate never happened before.
Talk, talk, talk and more talk may be the reason
Cantor opposed all what Obama did or took action about. All is bad and against the American people in his view. Ending the war in Iraq, Not starting a war in Libya and Syria, Obama Care, Tax reform, Immigration, Social Security, Carbon cap. No common ground what so ever. So where is the work to be done for the American people?
Wait for the next Republican administration? ... And here he comes, a complete rejections of Politicians in favor of a any body else, a Business man Trump, just two years later. With that, it seems that the politicians are on their own discredited path of filling the air with talk.

Just an [after] thought.
