New York Times Op-ed: Calm Down. ISIS Isn’t Winning.

Let’s hope for a LONG and BITTER stalemate of ISIS and the world’s shites for a long time...

[DiogenesLamp]

They announced today that they're going to purchase a nuclear weapon from Pakistan. Even allowing for the fact that nobody talks smack like these bearded a-holes, I think that might take the shine off 0bama's victory dance if it turns up going off over Tel Aviv or New York.

I think the Israelis have enough sense to knock it down before it gets close to them. Besides, ISIS sees us as the bigger enemy.

The Target is either New York or Washington DC. New York because it would send American finances/economy into a tailspin and wreak massive monetary damage to the nation.

Washington D.C. because it is the seat of our government, and it would be a symbolic strike, though the stupid F***ers probably don't realize that hitting Washington D.C. would probably improve our efficiency at eradicating them.

Iraqi forces are doing the rope-a- dope. Getting ready to spring the trap. /s

[Steve_Seattle]

Would the Times be encouraging such anti-alarmist views if disturbing events were unfolding under a Republican administration? Hell, no.

Conversely, if bad things were unfolding under a Republican administration, would conservatives be saying there's no problem? Hell, no, they'd be saying, "We need to fix this!"

The left deals only in delusions. That way they can’t lose.
They handle the reality of Isis with a delusion of no problem
And they handle the delusion of AGW with the reality of government regulation and tax growth.

[lormand]

Spot on appropriate.

[Dr. Ursus]

I Can’t my hairs on fire!

[bert]

the correct tense is has won rather than is winning

[Timber Rattler]

So this is where Baghdad Bob ended up, under an assumed name...

[cardinal4]

The Saudis were just attacked by ISIS. Lets see how they respond..

[certrtwngnut]

I thought Palmyra was a bridge to Philly? Now you tell me it’s in Iraq.
That was kerry’s answer to a reporter when asked about the takeover.

[kjam22]

The NYT defines victory as “us not sending in ground troops.” So yeah... from that perspective we’re still winning. We can give them the whole middle east and the NYT would call it a victory as long as we don’t send troops.

[ilovesarah2012]

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

[NormsRevenge]

NYT NEWSFLASH!!

MILLIONS did not die in Russia under a brutalistic regime due to starvation.

History repeats .. Again .. And again..

The Old Gray Lady delivers..

The usual bull.

[Stosh]

In Grey Lady land, ISIS will only be winning when one of two things happens:

1) a Republican adminisstration takes over and assumes control of foreign policy

or

2) New York Times reporters start getting beheaded

(and as long as Obama is president, I’m not sure about (2) )

[NormsRevenge]

Thank goodness for one optomitrist in the group. :-)

[Vince Ferrer]

An event happened that they can’t deny, yet isn’t in the narrative, so they can only trivialize it.

[JennysCool]

[vette6387]

Right Amed, you found the right place to peddle your crap!

[colorado tanker]

Kerry said that? I hadn’t heard that one.
