Iraq: Isis Using Yazidis As Human Shields Against U.s. Airstrikes
Breitbart/AINA ^ | 2014-09-16 04:34 GMT

DOHUK, Iraq -- Reports from eyewitnesses here in Northern Iraq spoke to Breitbart News about how the terrorist group the Islamic State is using Yazidi hostages as human shields to protect themselves against U.S. airstrikes -- using the same strategy as Hamas in Gaza.

"ISIS sells the women as slave girls, the way they are doing it, they are using the women as human shields to protect them from U.S. airstrikes," said Hameed, a Yazidi refugee who is seeking safe haven in Northern Iraq. He escaped his village when ISIS invaded and fled to Sinjar Mountain with his family where he stayed for 7 days with limited food and water. ISIS is still holding four of his family members hostage.

Hameed said that his family members that are still being held hostage spoke to him on the phone saying that "ISIS are using the hostages as human shields to protect themselves from the U.S. airstrikes." He said that he has spoken with members of ISIS as well on the phone and they told him that they aren't going to hurt his family members, but the reason they are keeping them hostage is to protect themselves from U.S. airstrikes.

Hameed believes that ISIS will kill his family members eventually. "They enjoy the scene of blood and are happy about it," he explains. "They dance over these bodies."

Why haven’t we nuked Mecca during one of those pilgrimages?

Each and every ISIS combatant who is not killed outright should be shot on the spot even if they surrender. No mercy. That should be made very clear to these subhuman pieces of sh.t at the outset. If we do manage to capture their commanders live, they should be hung, photographed, and the pictures distributed worldwide.

Effing savages. Kill them all. Bury them covered in the entrails of swine.

“Each and every ISIS combatant who is not killed outright should be shot on the spot even if they surrender.”
I agree. These are religious fanatics. They believe the worst atrocity will be forgiven by Allah, and they’ve already demonstrated an almost gleeful willingness to carry out their vow to wipe out everyone on this planet who doesn’t bow to their domination. No amount of jail time will change them. And unlike conventional POW’s, this war NEVER ends for them. You can spend untold millions trying to rehabilitate them, but the day they’re released from incarceration, whether after 5 years or 50, they will return to the jihad.
Someone in Washington better realize that this is not a von Clausewitz “war is politics on a different level” type struggle. This is a war of extinction, either theirs or ours. I don’t like, but our adversary has set the rules of this conflict. If we relent and think showing mercy will sway them, then it will be our extermination facing us. Period.

No. Do not spread the images. Just have them disappear. Thousands just disappear. dump their bodies in the ocean. No glory, no motivation for other idiots.

ISIS Streamers. A helecopter bungie jump over a Mojave Desert solar power plant might make an impression.
