Yo ! dimwit Feinstein!! it was NEVER an OPTION to fight against these satanic murderers!

It was only an “option” when it was politically convenient to you when Bush was president!

How stupid!

An army without a country? Really?

In the real world, that translates to criminals, soldiers of fortune, stateless murderers, groups with NO proper chain of command, groups conducting mindless, opportunistic and irresponsible violence, groups that can ONLY exist, arm themselves, eat, deploy or otherwise sustain themselves by theft or other illegal means, etc.!!

“Feinstein” and “head of the Senate Intelligence Committee” just don’t go together well or should NOT be together at all. The Republicans need to take back the Senate.

Possibly the only option left for ‘di fi’ to hold any further semblance of credibility is to call for obama’s and holder’s impeachment and removal. She is on the ‘senate intelligence committee’ and has security clearance to information not given out to the public, as all know. What she is not saying and what she is not doing in the face of this threat tells anyone looking at her comments ‘di fi’ is not serious and she continues to support obama, holder, and isis. Her credibility took last train out of D.C. for a vacation and ‘di fi’ left on an airplane. ‘di fi’ is aloft. Her credibility is committing suicide for her three heroes.

Okay. Fine. They are not a terrorist “group”

They are a terrorist army.

How does that change what we need to do about them?

DiFi needs to inform Obama that drones are not an army.

Have no doubt ... ‘di fi’ is not offering shelter from the storm, ‘di fi’ is instead bringing on the storm. No wonder her credibility committed suicide.

>She also appropriately called them what they are: an army.<

.
BS. Does that mean that their actions so far are justified under the Geneva convention?

Call’m what they are: muzzie terrorists.

According to the article she said IS is an army 'earlier this month'. Some people said the same about IS several weeks ago.

Later, Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani also said "We are not facing a terrorist organization, but a well-armed terrorist state that is against every human principle,” Barzani warned." http://rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/100820141

The differentiation between a terrorist group/organization and an army may be nebulous. But a few points can be made. A terrorist group usually fights in pockets, against a specific regime or government, and usually consists mostly of a certain ethnic group or nationality.

IS is fighting indiscriminately to convert anyone who does not subscribe to their specific beliefs and ideology. Moreover, when it started in Syria and subsequently moved to Iraq, it moved like a well planned and organized army, with a military strategy, wanting to take terrain/land.

In terms of being a state, although no country currently recognizes IS as a "nation state", IS does and that's their initial aim is an Islamic State stretching across Iraq and the Levant (greater Syria), and has a Caliph. Of course it uses brutal tactics (terror included) in carrying out its objectives.

As you know, Geneva Convention has a set of protocols during war, which include humanitarian ones to which IS does not adhere. So, IS's actions are not justified under Geneva Convention. Also, IS doesn't care about Geneva Convention and will not should it be successful in establishing itself as a formal "Nation State" that is recognized by at least one other country.

Anyway, that's my take on this.

She meant ISIS is an Army and not just a group

It is an army that uses terror to grow it’s ranks.
It’s the army of Satan.
Muhammad is Satan.
Allah is the moon that replaced the real G-d in Islam.
It is a Terrorist Army.

People are so confused because this is it.
