I see they are taking a well-deserved break from begging for Western aid. The only reason these people are still sucking air is because of Western tolerance. If the West unleashed all its firepower on the Muslim world, they would be groveling at our feet, whining at how weak they are. This is their MO: grovel and beg one minute and threaten the next.
If we had any sense, we would take steps to strip these POS organizations of their illusions once and for all--instead, we play diplomatic footsie. Is it any wonder they act like they do?
It would be a wonder if they didn't. I agree 100%. They are shoring up support from their people now by talking tough. Soon they will be talking "moderation" and the millions will begin flowing again into their personal Swiss bank accounts.
I cannot understand why we think paying protection money to these thugs will get us anywhere.
