Just don’t call it a crusade. All hell would break loose.

Go get 'em boys!

Seriously, nothing will get your attention like having those devils just across the sea threatening to come after you.

The UN doesn't give a damn. Most members are very sympathetic to radical Muslims and some even like the cruelty.

The truth is all Italy could muster was 5000 troops. They cut their military by 40% and they are broke.

ISIS is threatening them.

seriously?? really?? The last time Italy ventured militarily into north Africa, they couldn’t organize a one truck convoy and the German Afrika Corp had to be created to come help them. Only problem is, this time the German Army is no better than Italy’s.

There are about 5 different factions fighting for control of Libya. As far as I can determine, the Libya Parliament in exile in Tobruk is the “legitimate” government of that hellhole.

Quick question:

If ISIS is operating freely in Libya...and Egypt is making air strikes in Libya...and Italy is preparing too...

Doesn’t Libya lack sovereignty in every way? IOW it is a failed state. Touted as one of Barry’s great success stories...just forget the small details.

Isn’t Italy a NATO nation? If so, Obama may be pushed into the ring, whether he wants to fight or not.

If things come to battle would it be the 3rd or 4th carthegenic war?

Starting to fell like—I don;t know—July, 1914 or so.

ISIS is skillfully drawing the moths to a flame.

WE better be thinking two or three steps ahead and be prepared to unleash hell on ISIS.

But with Dempsey and Obama, that would be wishful thinking.

Obama has been aiding and abetting ISIS and AL Qaeda since day one of his Presidency.

The picture is just coming into focus now.

History- nothing new-
Turko-Italian war=
“On October 23, 1911 nearly 500 Italian soldiers were slaughtered with cruelty at Sciara Sciatt in the outskirt of Tripoli [LIBYA} by Turkish troops.[29] As a consequence in the next day—during the 1911 Tripoli massacre—Italian troops systematically murdered hundreds of civilians by moving through the local homes and gardens one by one, including setting fire in the fighting to a mosque with one hundred refugees inside.[30] Although Italian authorities attempted to keep then news of the massacre from getting out, the incident soon became internationally known.[30] and successively started to show photos of the massacred Italian soldiers at Sciara Sciat in order to justify their revenge.
I saw (in Sciara Sciat) in one mosque seventeen Italian crucifixed with their bodies reduced to the status of bloody rags and bones, but whose faces still retain traces of hellish agony. It has passed through the neck of these wretched a long barrel and arms resting on this rod. They were then nailed to the wall and died for a slow fire between untold suffering. It is impossible for us to paint the picture of these hideous rotted meat hanging pitifully on the bloody wall. In a corner another body is crucified, but as an officer he was to have refined his sufferings. The eyes are stitched. All the bodies were mutilated and castrated; so indescribable was the scene and the bodies appeared swollen as shapeless carrion. But that’s not all! In the cemetery of Chui which served as a refuge from the Turks and whence pulled from afar we could see another show. Under the same door in front of the Italian trenches five soldiers had been buried up to their shoulders, their heads emerged from the black sand stained of their blood: heads horrible to see, and there you could read all the tortures of hunger and thirst (Gaston Leroud and the correspondent of Matin-Journal[8])”
