The leader of the Kurds in Iraq has pleaded for arms shipments to fend off onslaught from extremist Islamic State (IS) militia, who are accused of burying women and children alive.
United States officials have warned IS is a direct threat to the US, and other western nations, and is more powerful now than Al Qaeda was when it struck the US on September 11, 2001.

By all means, arm the Kurds. Give them some nukes to use on Hillary’s friends. The whole world will be better off for it.

Yeah, IS for Islamic State, I think. Damned confusing. These guys change their name more than a bad used car dealer.
