ISIS' black flag on a Catholic church in Syria.

Let them kill each other, then mop up the remains afterward.

We’re going to find out, sooner or later,
If Abdul will pray, to a glowing crater.

(He won’t.)

[Vendome]

Have at it.

I hope they kill each other...

[Dallas59]

Nothing wrong with that.

[Zeneta]

[montag813]

Bring it on...

There’s a bit more finesse than that. ISIS has been equipped with new vehicles and weapons, and the blitzkrieg-style effectiveness of their strategy indicates that some military professionals are backing them up.

The first of these are likely former officers of Saddam, whose entire purpose is to take over Iraq again, as a Sunni run nation with a majority that are Shiites. Importantly, Ba’athists are only marginally Muslim; their philosophy is more like that of a communist dictatorship.

While only marginally Muslim, they are Sunni Muslim, which means that Saudi Arabia will support them against Shiites.

This support would likely include funding and logistics, once again the answer to who is providing the vehicles and weapons.

Go after Iran, ISIS ... because Obama sure won’t do it!

"a vast war inside Islam"

Yep.

Ought to keep `em busy for years and years.

When one side is running a little behind we can do some night airdrops of 762x39.

Heck, we could keep the little fellers going for at least a decade...

Perhaps two?

"ISIS' black flag on a Catholic church in Syria."

That's Syria. This is the U.S.A. Here's some background information on what's really happening over there.

Ground to a Halt (Research shows: Suicide-bombers Communists, not Islamists

...

In writing my book on suicide attackers, I had researchers scour Lebanese sources to collect martyr videos, pictures and testimonials and the biographies of the Hezbollah bombers. Of the 41, we identified the names, birth places and other personal data for 38. Shockingly, only eight were Islamic fundamentalists. Twenty-seven were from leftist political groups like the Lebanese Communist Party and the Arab Socialist Union. Three were Christians, including a female high-school teacher with a college degree. All were born in Lebanon.

Iran is also communist, by the way (everything state-owned and much of it doled out to the families of clerics). I posted hundreds of articles on Iran and the need to take care of business there a long time ago, but anti-American, pecuniary, international socialist interests here threw trash in threads at nearly every article. Iran continues to build nuclear weapons.

On the Syrian-Lebanese-Iranian alliance.

Harb pledges to be forceful president [Maronite "ready to fight" Israel, "protect Hezbollah"]

"Beirut: Boutros Harb, long-serving Maronite Lebanese Member of Parliament, is standing for president and reaching out to the Shiite Hezbollah, across the political divide in the country.

[...]

"I have proposed that the Lebanese army and government must be in control of declaring war, and that we should find a way to incorporate Hezbollah's forces into the army. But this has to be on the condition that the Lebanese government and army accept the full duty of being ready to fight and protect Hezbollah if Israel attacks," he said, adding that it was also important that Lebanon had to liberate the occupied territory of the Sheba'a Farms from Israel."

"The ship is sinking and all of us, the Lebanese, should stick together and work together to stop the Israeli aggression," Amin Gemayel, a Maronite Christian who served as president from 1982 to 1988, told the Arabic-language TV station Al-Jazeera . . . Michel Aoun, a one-time commander in Lebanon's 15-year civil war who now serves in parliament, said . . . "I don't think that Israel has the capability to destroy Hezbollah militarily because Hezbollah is not a group of armed men," Aoun said. "Hezbollah is a major part of the Lebanese social fabric."
