"ISIS fights like a state... It fields more than 25,000 fighters, including a hard core of ex-Baathist professionals and Qaeda veterans. It has a hierarchical unit organisation and rank structure, populated by former regular officers of Saddam Hussein's military," added Kilcullen in the Australian Quarterly Essay.

The Islamic State already has the foundations of a state..............Obama disagrees...

It’s safe to say that terrorists are no longer an army without a state.

“O” basically handed them their ‘state’ and NOW he will force the rest of the world to deal with them AS IF they are the equivalent of other ‘states’ and, as if THEIR leadership is the equivalent of other duly elected leaders in the world.

I am sure it won’t be long before “O” demands that ISIS is represented in the UN.

That is certainly a crime of universal magnitude and at the very LEAST, it’s a crime against humanity, for which “O” will NEVER be charged or prosecuted.

Our ‘President’ is a heartless, blundering, unprincipled animal who has NO business at the head of the most powerful national entity on earth. There are generations of ME inhabitants who will suffer and die before the situation is rectified in any way ... Generations will live (and die) to regret that “O” was EVER our ‘President’.

And all because NO ONE will challenge the American ‘President’ who made it happen!

Everyone is ignoring the 800 lb gorilla in the room and it is getting frustrating.

This is the Iraq/Iran war redux. The goal of both is the Caliphate. If Iran thinks that Hezbollah can hold the North against ISIS attacking Syria, they are sadly mistaken. Especially since even though Hezbollah is in Syria and Lebanon, Assad threw in with Hussein.

And now with Iran losing in Yemen to the Sunnis, they will need to do something radical. Iran’s sphere of influence in the ME is quickly contracting.

So, Obama is giving Iran access to a bomb? I don’t think this is for anti-Israel operations so much as a counter to Sunni domination.

And where is ValJar from?
