Since their weapon of choice for terror is FIRE, then let them REAP what they have sewn.

just drop a a decent bomb on the area that turns the people to vapor and the infrastructure is left intact. deal with them quick and swiftly now, not later on at the doorstep of the people in America.

And to understand properly read the Hadiths and Sunnahs which chronicle the life and sayings of Mo, these are Talibari, Muslim, Isaq and Bukhari.

The Islamic State awaits the army of “Rome,” whose defeat at Dabiq, Syria, will initiate the countdown to the apocalypse.

Perhaps the Mahdi, Gog and Magog, Masih ad-Dajjal, Jeanne Dixon's antichrist, the Dragon Reborn, and the Kwisatz Haderach will soon descend on Dabiq.

Exactly, the map is misleading because the areas in between the spiderweb are uninhabited deserts. For all intents and purposes, they have control over about 2 1/2 countries at this point.

They might as well color that in dark gray as well, as ISIS could freely travel there as well, but have no reason at all to do so.

Apparently, they are only 350 miles away from US troops. Another aspect of this, not being discussed in the msm, is the nuclear build up in Iran. If ISIS gets their hands on that, we're all doomed.

I don’t care about understanding them. Destroy them.

No, I do not want to *understand* ISIS.

It’s enough for me to know that they want to kill us and that I don’t want them to.

Therefore they need to be dealt with in a way that they understand, which means pounding them into oblivion so that they CANNOT come back for another try.

I predict a visit by the spelling police. Look busy, start sewing.

NO! KILL THEM!

I'll leave it to the bleeding heart liberals to psycho-analyze the animals.


And this is why United States failed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sun Tzu put it IMHO best:

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

There is no need to analyze ISIS. One need only read the Koran.
