They (ISIS) have much more money, so they should be able to hire some excellent photo-shop experts to create some sensational graphics and videos.

They might even afford to pay real actors, rather than using G.I.Joe type toy dolls.

Anti-War Left:

It’s OK, they were killed by a DEMOCRAT during a “Humanitarian Bombing”, during “Kinetic Military Action”, so it’s all good.

Scary thoughts Odds ... Scary thoughts. May it never be to that point of saving Civilization by having to bomb western Civilization but with the course being taken one could see your point becoming reality as once again History repeats.

I personally don’t think we should be doing anything there.

But, if anyone thinks this is going to end without a lot of necks being cut, I don’t think they are paying attention.

Their kids are programmed for death as infants...then throughout their tender years....in reality when one of these children die from war it's a blessing for them for they will never experience the hatred, death and abuse they will be otherwise exposed to....they are safe with the Lord.

Code Pink did stage protests in Senate chambers. I have to give their activists a solid B+ for consistency.

However, most of the crowds they attracted a decade ago were Democrat loyalists. And the MSM was eager to cover the protests. These guys get a F for consistency, and it’s only that good because there isn’t a negative score in a letter grading system.

Only one half smile and that was in the first picture of the first child pictured. Pictures and a thousand words.

It’s like cutting out a cancer. It is hard to do it without destroying good cells. I do feel sorry for those civilians but doing nothing is even worse for them.

Had Obama acted months ago when they were marching through the desert it would have been much easier.

Saddens me greatly to see what they do to their children....the ‘Shities’ (LOL) actually cut them...I can’t post the photos, but what’s so damnable is the parents ‘smiling’ as they take a knife to the head of their own kid!

Now if these twisted parents can do that ‘to their own kid’, and with their minds so twisted in the fact they can do that with joy....what makes anyone even imagine these people can ever be right in the head.

‘Everything’ they do and practice goes against the “natural” way God has designed us. It’s truly diabolical.

yes, islam is that and so much more. I would encourage the posting of the pictures but since am not a moderator, I haven't a clue as to how the moderators would react. Might want to clear any pictures of that sort where the parent is cutting on their own child with a moderator but in my deep down heart of hearts, I know the pictures should be placed here for Americans to gain a sense of what Civilization is up against. So few understand what islam is.

Obama is doing precisely what ISIL wants.

Sure, ISIL is brutal, and that their behavior is outrageous. It is a bunch of medieval religious zealots acting out on a genuine expression of orthodox Sunni Islam with relatively modern weaponry. However, that’s par for the course in that part of the world. Israel, Hamas and other Palestinian organizations, Hezbollah, the Assad family, the Hussein family, the Hashemite kings, the Ayatollahs, the Sykes-Picot imperial powers, Turkey, and the US/Saudi alliance have all engaged in outrageous actions in the region that should properly be classified as either crimes against humanity or war crimes. All of them. The only thing that is peculiar about ISIL is that it deliberately advertised its crimes to provoke the US in particular, knowing full-well that the US would respond as reliably as Pavlov’s dogs. ISIL did this in the hope that the US will intervene militarily, which proves their point that the existing state structure in the region is not genuinely Islamic, that it is a corruption of Sunni Islam that will ally with atheists, crusaders, infidels, and Shi’ites to oppose the genuine, orthodox Sunni model offered by ISIL. The logical conclusion of that is that true Sunni Islam faces an existential threat from the US crusaders and its puppet states in the region, and that it is the responsibility of all Muslims to mount a resistance. This is a strong argument to Muslims everywhere who hold the Wahhabi worldview, which to some extent is held by all observant Sunnis. The strategy is to get the enemy, the US in particular and the West in general, to kill itself like the USSR did. The tactic is terrorism, but it is a wholly new strategy of terrorism that hopes to inspire Sunnis everywhere (not all Sunnis, but a critical minority of Sunnis) to jihad. The US is playing its role in fulfilling this strategy.

Question: Muslims are killing Muslims in an ancient, insanely complex feud. Why should Americans get in the middle of it? Sure, ISIL is awfully brutal, and it’s a shame that American civilians cannot be safe in war zones. What’s so bad about the enemy killing the my friend’s enemy, or my friend’s enemy killing my enemy’s friend? I am sure that there are even more complicated constructions that apply to Middle East, but the notion of the US having real friends in the Middle East is nonsense. People have friends; states have interests. The best possible response would be to lose interest in the Middle East, though the US probably ought to arm up the Kurds and diplomatically support their secession from Iraq (the only good idea Crazy Joe ever had.)

It’s a war and civilians die in them. This has been a fact for thousands of years.

I support arming the Kurds but joe biden has never had a good idea. biden is a loon, just as obama is a loon. Israel is a beachhead in a hostile land. At one point America was Israel’s best friend till obama came along. Israel has had to be brutal to survive. Personally, if I ran Israel I would have been more brutal. No matter the sect of islam, all of islam has one goal and that goal is to destroy the ones islam names as the big satan and little satan aka America and Israel. yep, obama is doing exactly as islam wants. That fact is very well documented in writings and pictures of obama and his current crowd and prior crowd within the administration. To fight an enemy such as islam one must understand islam. obama understands islam but obama is of islam. obama and his end game are not part and parcel of the goal of maintaining Civilization, instead the goals of islam and the goals of obama are one and the same.

The technique worked so well with Hamas...why shouldn't ISIS try their hand at the human shield / grisly collateral damage / media sympathy technique?

Really.

But until we hit a "Baby Milk Factory" by mistake, we'll be OK...

Yeah, that Obama talks a good game, but ... he’s a real war pig, killing civilians, mmmm mmmm mmmm. He’s a stone cold killer.
And he won a Nobel Peace prize? And the Democrats who support him—warmongers killing the innocent, peace-loving Syrian people.

Why don't we just get it over with and chip everybody with a device capable of killing them. That way, innocents would never die, right?

Do I really need a sarc tag?
