WASHINGTON -- The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ISIS is increasingly using human shields -- particularly children -- to prevent the U.S.-led coalition from carrying out airstrikes in key areas such as Ramadi, according to a senior Obama administration official who briefed reporters at the White House.Fighters are even using children as escorts while maneuvering in the street in order to exploit U.S. rules of engagement, which are inte adidas campus 80s nded to avoid collateral damage.Despite that the U.S. is able to kill a mid-to-high level ISIS leader every two days or so, but the ISIS shield tactic complicates a U.S. military operation that the Pentagon likes to call the most precise air campaign in the history of war. CBS News senior national security correspondent David Martin has reported that while there is no hard and fast rule governing permissible civilian casualties in U.S. airstrikes and each strike is evaluated individually, he is not aware of any case when a bombing was authorized with knowledge that more than five innocent people were present. By barricading themselves with civilians the terror group has inhibited U.S. airpower in the key Iraqi city of Ramadi, tilting the fight more toward being a street by street battle. That s an ad yeezy vantag asics e because the coalition is reliant on the relatively weak national military in Iraq, and a patchwork of local groups to act as ground forces in Syria.

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama s spokesman said Monday that the White House is concerned by war threats coming from North Korea, as the administration issued sanctions against a North Korean bank and official.The remarks came in response to North Korean state media reports that Pyongyang was cancelling the 60-year-old armistice that ended the Korean War. We are certainly concerned by North Korea s bellicose rhetoric, Obama spokesman Jay Carney told reporters at the White House. And the threats that they have been making follow a pattern designed to raise tension and intimidate others. The DPRK will achieve nothing by threats or provocation, which will only further isolate North Korea and undermine international efforts to ensure peace and stability in northeast Asia.

The Vatican decreed Monday that the Catholic Church cannot bless same-sex unions since God cannot bless sin. The Vatican s orthodoxy office, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, issued a formal response Monday to a question about whether Catholic clergy can bless same-sex unions.The answer, contained i adidas yeezy n a two-page explanation published in seven languages and approved by Pope Francis, was negative. Elton John calls out Vatican s hypocrisy for refusing to bless same-sex unionsThe decree distinguished between the Church s welcoming and blessing of gay people, which it upheld, but not their unions since any such sacr adidas campus 80s amental recognition could be confused with marriage.The Vatican holds that gays must be treated with dignity and respect, but that gay sex is intrinsically disordered. Catholic teaching holds that marriage, a lifelong union between a man and woman, is part of God s plan and is intended for the sake of creating new life.Since same-sex unions are not intended to be part of that plan, they cannot be blessed by the Church, the document said. The presence in such relationships of positive elements, which are in themselves to be valued and appreciated, cannot justify these relationships and render them legitimate objects of an ecclesial blessing, since the positive elements exist within the context of a union not ordered to the Creator s plan, the response said.God does not and cannot bless sin: He blesses sinful man, so that he may recognize hoka schuhe tha Xgja Caeleb Dressel lives up to the hype, sets Olympic record while winning first individual Olympic gold in 100-meter freestyle
