They can fulfill Bill Clinton's adolescent fantasy of sending a band of ninja warriors into the stronghold of the jihadis.

That sounds pretty insane, you should ask the moderator to remove it.

The Japanese are a formidable enemy.

The diaperheads should be much more worried about the Russians. Ever see a Russian get beheaded?

"Send in the Ninja"*we're already here.

Japan’s military is greatly curtailed in size and scope due to the unconditional surrender agreement signed in 1945, we all know that. The big question is, given those constraints, what can they do? Send in some candy-ass ‘peace keeping’ mission that will be taken as more hostages?

[skinkinthegrass]

true..the Arabs, tried that in Beirut, Lebanon..the Arabs paid very dearly.

Mothra, ninjas, yakuza, godzilla, speed racer...

Isis is doomed.

You left out the Sumo wrestlers.

I remain puzzled that Russia did not aggressively and decisively take this issue on. Maybe it happened behind the curtain but retribution in this case should have been dynamic and conclusive with few remains left.

“They always vow revenge but it never happens. ISIS always wins.”

The Japanese are the folks who put the ‘rape’ in the Rape Of Nanking”. Along with an “Off With Their Heads” routine that the Mad Queen would have envbied.

Muslims, historically speaking, have a long history of snatching defeat from the jaws of certain victory.

I long for someone who has respect and love for this Country and who will defend it to the end; the dude in the well and those related be damned

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Russia will manipulate the situation for all it is worth.

"This is 9/11 for Japan"

It's getting old seeing bad, but in no way comparable acts, being compared to 9/11.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Uh-oh. ISIS may have opened a can of worms.

[Ellendra]

Does the heart of the Samurai still beat in Japan? It seems ISIS might find out.

[GladesGuru]

“Islam will do what it wants in the US and the fed’s and local gov’t will go along with it. 9/11 to them never happened.”

It is said that a nation’s humor reflects is culture and past, so in that spirit:

A flight is delayed and an American Indian, a Cowboy, and a Muslim are waiting at a table in the airport when the Indian morosely said, “Once we were many, now we are few”.

The Muslim said, “Once we were few, now we are many, soon you will all be converted. What do you think of that?”

That’s when the Cowboy said, “We ain’t played Cowboys and Muslims, yet. But it’s a comin’.”

America is unique in that we are both heavily armed AND we see our leaders as elected servants, not masters.

IMHO, the last election was their last warning.

I’m assuming Japan has access to weapons grade plutonium and yellow cake. Am I incorrect? They had a reactor at Fukushima.

Will soon come the time ... seems though that 0bama is on their side ....
