Juan goes to the defense of no strategy to fight ISIS. No troops on the ground even though there is over 1000 troops on the ground now.
Pray America is waking
Why not just fire him?
That only works in the real world, and he probably has some type of
contract already in place which , in his industry, probably doesn’t account
for gross negligence, or in simpler terms lying, conduct affecting the reputation of the organization.
It seems more and more Western media are using the derogatory DAESH when they’re talking about the Islamic State in Iraq and as-Shām (commonly known as ISIS).
As nobody seems to have the faintest idea what DAESH stands for, here’s an attempt to explain.
The capitals in the word DAESH point out it is an acronym of some sort. And indeed if we single out the beginning letters of the Arabic name for ISIS :
الدولة الاسلامية في #1575;لعراق و&>1575;لشام
we get the Arabic: داعش
د = Dawlat (Nation)
ا = (al-) Islāmiyya
ع= (fī’l-) ‘Irāq
ش = (wa’s-) Shām (Greater Syria or the Levant)
So, roughly transcribed to the Latin alphabet that leaves us with DAESH. (The E stands for the ‘ayn in ‘Iraq)
At first the name DAESH was merely an acronym indeed. Activists and more moderate rebel coalitions used it as referral to Dawlat al-Islāmiyya fī al-Irāq wa s-Shām. But it didn’t take long before all kinds of interpretations arose.
In se the Arabic word داعش doesn’t even exist. But if we look at the tone of voice within circles (opposing ISIS) ever since they introduced the acronym, we might conclude the acronym has a double meaning.
Most likely ISIS opponents are referring to the Arabic verb دعس, meaning : to thread underfoot, trample down, crush (see The Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic, p. 325 and 326)
Another theory is that the name refers to the Jāhiliyya (pre-Islamic) strife between two Arab tribes on the Arabian peninsula : داحس والغبراء
Dāhis wa’l-Ghabrā’ can be literary translated as ‘felon and dust’ (see http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/داحس_والغبراء ). This referral seems to have a more theological background yet it seems unlikely all sources using this would have in depth knowledge of the Jāhiliyya.
Which ever theory suits best, it is quite clear that the acronym DAESH (داعش) is mostly, if not only, used by opponents of ISIS in Syria.

Ted Cruz on ABC can’t be all bad. Hope he kicks stuffy stephy to the curb.
The first segment on FNS, the interview with the general was definitely worthwhile. He made several important statements especially that:
1)Nobody is in charge/there is no strategy
2)Obama shouldn’t be talking about religion, Islam is an ideology.
3)The airstrikes are token.
Laura Ingrahm and even Rove added some interesting perspective.
Cruz on with Stepinawfulpis, laying it down as expected:
The hack asked him about Hilary’s claim regarding the improving economy and Cruz shot back; Yes, I welcome her to try to make that case and try to run on it. If you want to talk about Obama’s buddies, the millionaires and billionaire (that he’s always knocking) who got richer since Obama took office, but the millions of people out of work are not doint so well. The “income gap” increase under Obama has not widened so much since 1978 (Carter)
Highly recommend first part of FNS and Stepinawfulpis.
The rest.......could be slavish blather.
I expect Netanyahu’s speech before Congress to be similar to his last speech before the UN. That’s what the Democrats and media don’t want to face, an informed leader telling the truth.
He did, of course, and politely. Awfulpis knew he had to cut him off and stated: "It sounds like you have your stump speech all ready."
“Yeah, I wanna hear more. It’s a lot more that the Daesh supporter we have in the White House...”
The Jordanians have done nothing to help the U.S. since 2001.
What you have is a bunch of local tribes that hate each other. Occasionally they unite due to their hatred of the Jews.
Do not forget that the Jordanian Kings were kicked out of Saudi by the British. The British gave them Jordan as a consolation prize. These people do not forget.
I'm pulling our last remaining cable connection, called the company to announce that decision, mentioned this latest "lying scandal" as part of the reason for it...and the nice lady at the company agreed with me and said that she'd been hearing the same thing for days.
(JMHO, this could grow some really great big wheels...and couldn't happen to more deserving slimeballs.)
Trying to get into the contorted mind of Barry Soetoro is a near impossible task as best. What we know is that he has a huge Muslim background was surrounded by communists through much of his life, worshiped at the alter of Rev.Wright who was always wrong and is a huge narcissist. Without a doubt he's gay,hates white people even though he is half white is totally self absorbed as are most narcissists and was probably born in Africa. Anyone that can put that all together and stereotype this clown is better than I.and believe me I have tried.
As far as environmentalists, gays,other blacks, Hispanics women or whatever the voter group I don't think he cares anything about anyone. Only himself. They are all tools to advance whatever current agenda his handlers have for him at the moment.
Left to his own devices what does he do,he walks the beach with Reggie and plays golf.Go figure.
Good article today. Thanks. An important aspect you wrote was the gifts Christianity provided mankind versus any other religious system. I think people forget that, to be kind, or don’t understand what part religion can play in their lives.
“Why just fire Brian Williams when the entire industry is corrupt? “
while the corruption in this area has been great for a very long time, the need to make money, and the existence of new options - Rush, Internet - may yet prove to be a catharsis.
Let us hope that the American public (obviously not Romney’s 49%) start spending their money and viewing habits in a manor conducive to liberty and limited G’ment
Thanks Morgan I appreciate that. Christianity not only plays a huge part in individual lives as almost all addictions, depression, suicide rates are reduced it is critical for social structure. Christian nations are far more productive than non-Christian.
They want a woman in his job no question. Best to look and see who slept with the right guy the most to figure out who will get Williams’ Yob.
Question is will Jeb simply Romney all of our conservative candidates one at a time as they go on a quest for funding. If Jeb sucks up all the big time funders it will be tough for a conservative to get rid of his sorry ass.
