Agreed!
All depends on what the meaning of IS is.
Yes, and if you were to check Google Earth, the most direct route from their territory to Jordan is covered by a massive desert. That’s the desert featured in the movie “Hidalgo”, where they called it the “Ocean of Fire”. I don’t think they will be taking that route if they want to attack Jordan, they would probably have to fight their way south through the western part of Syria instead.
Never say “zero chance” when it comes to these barbarians. With ordinary, civilized folk, you can predict their behavior, but with Muslims you never know what they might do next. These goons declaring a “caliphate” might just be enough to set off a few million jihadis-in-waiting around the planet to overthrow their own governments and join the party.
“But he will drop like a stone if he’s shot, just like the rest of em”
Yup, and that is pretty much the reason their hasn’t been a “caliphate” in centuries. Every time one muslim gets the idea in his head to declare himself caliph, a hundred other muslims think they are more worthy and go about plotting to kill him.
And that's a good thing.
Great idea! Get them all there and obliterate them!
They only need a hand full of mosques to whip up dissent among poor/illiterate muslims in Jordan (95% Sunni) and send them out on the street after Friday prayers. They only need the appearance of a popular movement. ISIS can infiltrate in the ensuing chaos and start assembling death lists and conducting targeted killings.
They aren’t going to attempt to take Shiite strong holds (Baghdad and Southern Iraq), that would be foolish. To much manpower to hold that territory and suppress the Shiite populace. Besides, Shiites are just 15% of the overall Muslim populous worldwide, so take the softer targets and once you amass a lot of power THEN lay waste to the Shiites (Iran, Lebanon, southern Iraq, and Southern Syria).
Hope they all make the trip - especially the one in the white house.
Maybe they could combat that whole dire need problem...by NOT CUTTING OFF PEOPLE’s HEADS. intelligent people don’t go near places like that.
Works for me.
You said it, only a one way ticket. If dual nationals, their western (other) passport/citizenship should be cancelled too; same for those who were born in western (other) countries.
Make it so.
Before ISIS gets a grand victory, they will have to deal with Russian Pilots and now Iranian pilots flying the Su-25 Frogfoot planes.
It is a safe bet that none of Obozo’s ROE’s for our warriors in danger will apply to the Russian and Iranian pilots. Their orders will be simple, kill the Isis serial killers.

Exclusive: Putin’s Pilots Set to Fly Over Iraq
The Daily Beast ^ | 07/01/14 | Josh Rogin
Russia may not have boots on the ground in Iraq—yet. But it will have them in the sky; Russian pilots could be flying over Iraq within days. While the Obama administration struggles to speed up delivery of U.S. military assistance to the government of Iraq, Vladimir Putin has already delivered not only fighter jets but also the pilots needed to fly them, diplomatic sources told The Daily Beast.
On Monday, Russian television trumpeted the arrival of the first five of 12 promised Sukhoi Su-25 combat fighter jets to the Iraqi government, saying it had also sent “trainers” to help the Iraqis use them. Gen. Anwar Hama Ameen, the commander of the Iraqi Air Force, told The New York Times the fighter jets would enter the battle against ISIS within a few days, after which the Russian trainers would leave Iraq. He said Iraq had plenty of pilots with “long experience” flying the Su-25. The Russian ambassador to Iraq also said Russian pilots would not fly missions inside Iraq.
Perhaps. But diplomatic sources told The Daily Beast that Russian pilots will fly the planes due to a lack of Iraqi pilots with the proper training. Neither Russia nor Iraq as explained how the Iraqi air force could possibly have pilots trained and ready to fly the Russian fighters. The Su-25 planes were used in the Iraq-Iran war but have not been employed in Iraq since at least 2002, when Iraq’s military was controlled by the Baathist regime of Saddam Hussein.
The news below, indicates that Iran has deployed its 7 SU 25’s to Iraq.
These planes will be flown by Iranian Pilots and serviced by Iranians

Seven Su-25 Frogfoot attack planes operated by the Iranian Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution have arrived at Baghdad to join the war against ISIS militants.
On Jul. 1, all the seven operational Su-25 Frogfoot attack planes operated by the Pasdaran (informal name of the IRGC – the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution) have completed their deployment to Imam Ali Airbase where they will join the ex-Russian Air Force Su-25s already delivered to Iraq in the air war against ISIS (Al Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant).
