Sounds like the UN/Amnesty international are about to bring the full weight of a strongly worded statement down upon the heads of ISIS.

Now:
I just love the Shia militias and Kurdish forces!

Later:
Shia militias and Kurdish forces hate US.

Let’s extract ourselves militarily and monetarily from this latest iteration of a foreign entanglement and see how this plays out without us.

The variants of the “religion of peace” (/sarcasm) have enough manpower and weaponry to defeat those (like ISIS) who have hijacked (/sarcasm) the “religion of peace” (/sarcasm) Let them duke/nuke it out.
