A report that the Islamic State has been forced to cut the pay of its fighters in Iraq and Syria has sparked interest in a possible aid package for the beleaguered infant state.
"It's a simple matter of fairness," UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon observed. "With both Russia and the United States taking military action against them the Islamic State is in deadly peril. Maintaining the necessary fanaticism for those it sends into battle absent adequate financial rewards may be too big of an obstacle for them to overcome. It may be appropriate for us to provide some funding to help level the playing field."

“With both Russia and the United States taking military action against them...
Is the US taking action against them part of the sarcasm?
Russia’s done more in a few months than we have in over a year.
i know what putin is, but in this case, it’s true.
and we ARE aiding ISIS by turning a completely blind eye, and that’s an insult to blind people, to Turkey and its support of ISIS
They should have EBT cards, like the local jihadis.
Thanks for the well needed distraction from the day to day internecine warfare.
Moon needed a little jab.
Seriously man.....you really should take that stuff to the Putin appreciation threads...
you’ve got to read entire posts, i’ve told you a million times.
i said i know what putin is.
reading is fundamental :)
Well OK then!
what a sarcastic post by me. i apologize.
but trust me, he’s an assassin and still KGB. I know that.
and he’s not in Syria to save the west. i know that.
and he bolsters at LEAST a few of our enemies. i know that.
but he is killing a lot of “moderates” as well as ISIS characters and i’d rather have a secular dictator in charge of Syria than these monsters.
again, i apologize.
How come ISIS doesn’t get too chair the U.N. Human Rights instead of Venezuela?
This is a good one John!
LoL :-)
I sometimes wonder if you are actually a prophet and that much of your satire is actually a glimpse of our future. [shudder]
To protect ISIS from the great satan United States kalif Obama has transferred U.S. arms to ISIS and provided hundreds of billions of dollars to support the civilization jihad.
Republicans approved all necessary expenditures and offered any assistance.
Death to America! Death to America! Inshalla. Allah Akbar!
How many journalists or their close family members have died under OUR admin? Sumohadiwidjojo sure acts KGB.
Right after we pay Iran the billions.
RUSSIA = took effective aciton against ISIS and i n a very short time has d estabilized them...
USA = dropped leaflets to warn of coming attacks, recruited, funded, trained and weaponized ISIS and PRETENDED TO FIGHT THEM, while actually stronly supporting them..... TREASON
Not a problem...
It’s difficult sometime to tell the difference and I did not.
I am a 2nd gen Georgian, and the rooskies tend to get me lathered up.
:-)
the “over there” Georgia?!
i dont blame you.
Good job, John. Thanks for the ping.
