Considering ISIS in Syria is being funded by the US this turn of events and the Crisis named ISIS in Iraq will have our State Dept. in shambles...

Folks what is happening in IRAQ should be the only conversation we are having today.

ISIS is the nastiest Islamic group this world has ever known. Al Qaeda even disavowed them. Now they are the richest and best militarily equipped terrorist group in the history of the Muslim Faith.

So just to be clear.

Assad, who we have been trying to topple with Al Qaeda... will now help Iraq get rid of the Al Qaeda we were fighting just a few years ago.

I would pay good money to watch them try to fly those helicopters they captured, though.

God, that’s be a hoot. Especially if we played “Yakety Yak” on the highlight video.

I entirely agree. I am stunned by how little attention this is receiving.

They’ve already flown them and in fact have used them to attack Mosul and Tikrit.

Considering that BO’s Administration is a de facto ally of this particular jihadist ‘terror’ group, I hate to say that the only long term solution is Russian support at this point.

I have to wonder how much help we gave this ISIS. After all we’re apparently on the same side as them it this point.

New Plan.....

Since we can’t pick a winner or ever seem to be on the right side of any conflict in the world, even when “leading from behind”, we should flood Iraq and Syria with weapons and munitions. We need to get all our troops out of Afghanistan now. Since they are not allowed to fight, they should not remain as targets. FINALLY, We should arm Israel to the teeth and hope they can clean up the mess when the Muslims get really serious about killing each other.

I agree; very important issue.

Can you say “regional war”?

I knew you could.

Let's see: We have Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Iran all ready to jump into this little fray.

I say that it's time for that genius of diplomacy, John Heinz Kerry, to call the parties to the table for some “tough but principled” diplomacy.
