So what is everyone's thoughts on Obama's plan for ISIS?

[Jay]

Out of all the very important (sarcasm) allies we have with us, where is our supposed most important ally in the region?

What the hell is Israel doing while we are attacking IS?

 

I think all our allies are Sunni so Israel might not fit in.

Yeah, I'm sure we would get any of the Arab nations to go along with us with Israel at our side.

so if Bush was a warmonger... what do we label Obama?

just curious

 

He's just trying to clean up the mess he inherited from Bush.

The President of Peace.

Which is why the whole thing in the middle east is F'd up, everything. The times that we need a MIDDLE EAST coalition and our biggest ally in the middle east can't participate because they won't play nice with Arabs and Arabs won't play nice with them. What are we doing people?

[mtangelsfan]

Wake up Sheeple!!!!

[TobiasFunke]

I wasn't that extreme in my post. Give me a little credit.

[mtangelsfan]

No, I was just joking.  You weren't extreme, I just find the sheeple thing funny and try to find any lame reason to fit into a post I can.

[TobiasFunke]

It was fitting. I ain't even mad.

Australian teenager shot dead by police after stabbing two officers.

He was a known terror suspect who voluntarily met with police, then stabbed the two officers.

Defeating ISIS in Iraq will take time, in part because the Iraqi military needs to be reconstituted, and because it will take time to arrange the kind of local support like the Sunni Awakening years ago, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says. 

U.S. airstrikes aren't designed to defeat ISIS by themselves, he said. "You and others should not be looking for some massive retreat in the next week or two," he tells CNN's Christiane Amanpour.

The fight against ISIS not only will include ongoing strikes, but also foreign fighters, cutting off financing, and a major effort to "reclaim Islam by Muslims," he says.

 

 

Lol.  Good thing we stuck around all these years "training" the Iraqi military.  They aren't even ready to fight a war within their own borders.

[TobiasFunke]

I'm so glad we're wasting resources, money, and soldiers in order to reclaim Islam for Muslims

I'm sure we will be seeing all the anti-war protesters out any day now.

[TobiasFunke]

The new IPhone6 came out tho!!!

[Adam]

Lets all accumulate more stuff!

Serious.  The Anti War protesters are all preoccupied by the fact that their skinny jeans are bending their new iPhone.

[fan_since79]

It's happened again. An Algerian group linked to ISIS has beheaded a French hostage.

 

This is going to get worse before it gets better. These savages are in many countries.

[nate]

I must have missed the French President's speech about bombing ISIS.  Can someone link me to it?

[fan_since79]

I can't imagine why the idea of a world-wide caliphate with millions of people decapitated along the way is not attractive.

As long as "world-wide" doesn't include continental U.S. Alaska and Hawaii, we're safe.

[Hollyw00d]

I forgot we sent John Kerry over there.

Whew! I'm relieved now. Everything is going to be alright

[Adam]

ISIS would need a lot more than a knife to get Kerry's dome off of this body

[Blarg]

I posted this in a FB thread a while ago. Wouldn't it be cool if every human being had a death tracker digitized over his/her head, which displayed the number of deaths they were directly involved in?

Are we talking potential people? If so Tdawg has wasted over a billion since the Kate Upton photos were released.

[Blarg]

The French confirmed another beheading by ISIS . Maybe they should kidnap a few Ayatollahs and drop the guillotine on their necks just to show who is really the world Wide leader in beheading.

Islamic fighters advance in Syria despite U.S. strikes
