Stupid.

It's hard for countries that conform to Western norms of warfare to fight irregular forces who don't care about civilians.

Israel conforms to no one.

IS claims suicide bombing on Shiite mosque in Saudi, 4 dead

 

The latest attack and a suicide bombing at a Shiite mosque that killed 21 people last Friday appeared aimed at fanning sectarianism and destabilizing the kingdom. Both attacks took place in the oil-rich east, which has a sizable Shiite community that has long complained of discrimination.

Maybe we need to rename the thread ISIS Stepping On It's Own Dick.

 

Blowing up Mosques instead of cartoon factories and churches seems to be jumping the shark even for the black hooded bastards of Baghdadi.

[arch stanton]

The last one hit a little too close to home for me. Maybe 30 km north of my stomping ground. Fortunately 95% of my time in Saudi is either on a military base or a compound that's guarded like a military base.

You don't think Israel conforms to the normal rules of war or tries to limit civilian casualties?

[Blarg]

I think Israel is far more creative at war than Western Countries that are not in the middle of a terrorist playground. They do not necessarily rely on overwhelming technology to reduce a threat. They also do not concede ground like the Iraqis and Syrians are willing to do.

Iron dome or whatever it is called is pretty technological.  

 

But my point is this.  What ISIS is doing is just scary.  You have to admit, most of the Middle East would like nothing better than seeing Israel wiped out.  Egypt, Libia, Iran, Iraq, probably Turkey, Saudis and so on.  Not the countries, but the people.  But now you have a subset of those people that just went all in with a 27 offsuite.  

 

We would like to think that ISIS is like a beehive.  Destroy the beehive, kill the queen and it's done.  ISIS is more like roaches or probably for that area more appropriately locusts.  You can't kill them all.  You kill some of them, and more come back.  And all they want to do is destroy everything in it's path.  You look at the places they have overrun, and all are just ghosttowns.  

 

It's like WW1 and trench warfare.  ISIS will take house by house.  Doesn't matter if they suffer 1 or 100 casualties.  And you can be assured that when they take that house and if there are any civilians.  They will execute them publicly to get x10 more recruits to replace the losses.  This is different than what Israel has faced so far.  Right now, the terrorists are trying to get rid of Israel by striking at the heart.  What ISIS will try to do is take block by block.  Town by town.  And their strategy so far has been this.  ISIS threatens town.  Country evacuates citizens of that town.  ISIS doesn't care if it kills civilians or military, and attack and takes over.  Country bombs town once no civilians are in play, so does ISIS.  Again, ISIS doesn't care.  Like locusts, they go to the next town.  Rinse and repeat.  

 

I hope I'm wrong.  But this is what I see coming.  This isn't a country vs country war.  This is countries vs ideology war.  And ideaologies are hard to kill because they just don't have rules most of the time.  You can kill all Sunni's, but as a civilized society you can't.  ISIS will kill all non Sunni's though.  That's what makes them dangerous.

I think VegasHalofan is either sending coded messages to his US ISIS cell of terrorists or has simply lost it.
