[Art.] I cautioned my fellow Americans against falling for the notion that the so-called “Islamic State” is among the gravest threats, or any considerable threat, to the United States.

Obviously having trouble with concepts like shaheed and juramentado, war of extermination, ICBM, and thermonuclear weapon.

For scale: thermonuclear weapons are to nuclear weapons what California redwoods are to your Christmas tree.

[Art.] Alton Nolten, the murderer who beheaded a woman, stabbed another, and shot a third person before being shot and subdued by his boss, was black. And he was a black American, at that.

Obviously he was oppressed by his white boss. Didn't take long for the truth to come out, did it? </s>

And no, I didn't hear or read that before I read it here first. "How 'bout that?" </off Snake Doctor>

First, at long last, we would have jettisoned the Politically Correct labels—“Islamo-Fascism,” “Islamo-Nazism,” “Islamism,” “radical Islam,” “Islamic extremism,” etc.—that we invariably assign to Islamic terrorists in favor of a signifier that does not imply that Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the like are deviations from true Islam. I suggested that we resurrect the term, “Mohammedanism,” that was once used by Westerners as a matter of course as a designator for Muslims. Muhammad, after all, established the precedent for Islamic violence generally, and beheadings specifically, when he delivered Islam its first victory over his opponents by decapitating, en masse, 700 of them.

Hear, hear! Even supposed realists like Bolton and Cheney persist in using that fake formulation, "radical Islam". They do so to avoid "offending" our supposed allies in the Muslim world. As long as that is more important than being honest with the American people, I don't trust any of them to defeat the enemy.

The “alliance” is phony, the “war” is phony and ISIS will not be destroyed. It will grow and become more powerful unless the “alliance” puts motivated, well led infantry on the ground. The Saudis do have an army, don’t they?

In nearly all of the strike cams, look at the structures moments before the strike.......

Do you see any vehicles parked around the buildings????

ISIL is all bugged out and set up in residential neighborhoods. How are going to dig them out of there?
