Nameless
PJ Media ^ | 10-21-14 | Richard Fernandez

Spengler (David Goldman) observes that the Muslim world is experiencing a “social unraveling on a scale not seen in the region since the Mongol invasion”. It’s at 18 million refugees and counting. “There are millions of young men in the Muslim world sitting in refugee camps with nothing to do, nowhere to go back to, and nothing to look forward to. And there are tens of millions more watching their misery with outrage. Never has an extremist movement had so many frustrated and footloose young men in its prospective recruitment pool.”

Actually it’s worse than that. Spengler’s table omits Mali, Nigeria and Africa in general. Most of the fighting is Green on Green, as the saying goes.

To get a daily overview of this as yet unnamed war the best source is the Long War Journal. In the LWJ universe the players are not Chelsea Clinton and Lena Dunham. They are the Haqqanis, the Basij, al Nusrah, ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Badr, AQAP, the Houthis, AQIS, Hezbollah, Hamas and many, many more. It’s like a parallel reality that has everything but a name. What will it be?

One reason why it may lack a name is because the administration is still looking for a side. You can sympathize with John Kerry as ABC News writes “US Still Searching for Credible Allies in Syria”. “Despite years of diplomacy and a CIA operation to vet and train moderate rebels, the U.S. finds itself without a credible partner on the ground in Syria as it bombs the Islamic State group. That’s a potentially serious flaw in its strategy to ultimately defeat the militants.”

Fighters, fighters everywhere, and not a one to trust.

Ya think that maybe those 9 million alien IDs Obama is getting prepared he is doing for all the Christian Arab refugees?

That gives me an idea.

A Mongol invasion.

A Mongol invasion is exactly what IS[IS] needs to straighten their a$$es out once and for all...

Well, except for the Mods and the Rockers in England during the 1960s...

The “millions” need to be given a history lesson of how islam has screwed the Middle East up. Then teach them skills such as engineering and farming. Also teach them how to fight and give them the message that they will not be allowed to immigrate. Send them back to where they came from to fix their own countries.

Why don’t we:

* Pull ALL of our troops out of the ME and let the animals duke it out.

* Close our borders. And I mean close ‘em tight and shoot first, ask questions later of anyone trying to sneak in.

* Produce our own damn energy here in NA, including Canada and Mexico, so we don’t have to rely on the ME for ANYTHING.

* Kick out any Muslim that promulgates Radical Islam in our prison systems or at the local Mosque. If they Allah so much, send them back to the source of their god!

I know. Not NEARLY nuanced enough for John Effin’ Kerry, but it’s a START!

No one ever listens to me. I’m just a Dumb Conservative. *SMIRK*

As far as I am concerned, anything with the construct “al” in its name is bad:

al Queda
al Nusrah
al Jazeera
al Arabiya

al gore

Basic problem: With polygamy, there aren’t enough women to go around.

And that includes the one just south of Kenosha on election day!

Thus the muslim belief that women are for babies, boys are for pleasure.

They've been doing that in our colleges since (at least) 1945. They just failed to enforce the part about not alowing immigration.

The West became so efficient at food production and brilliant at disease prevention that we artificially kept afloat a culture that should have collapsed 50 years ago due to its own ignorance.

“...there aren’t enough women to go around.”

There’s a solution. About 18 million unmarriageable men in China due to their one-child policy & a huge number of unmarriageable muslim males due to polygamy. We need to get China involved in this & take care of two problems with one war.

Perhaps the Battle of Armageddon:

“The Chinese come in late in the war (army of the east) 200 million marching in the dry river bed of the Euphrates. “

They have an exrremely sicko culture, and unfortunately it teaches an intense hatred for, and desire to murder, Christians and Jews.

Yet, we let it take over our governments, inport (what would in any other time be called invaders) millions of enemy-trained people bent on destroying us from within

which is their most feasible way to defeat us, other than, of course, the Iranian nuclear missiles that our administration has been protecting for the past five or six years

and more recently...is actrually funding...

We are in deep doo doo. Who’s going to defend us if our government is on the enemy’s side?

"Fighters, fighters everywhere"

Their problem is Islam, and unless they see it to switch religions their problems will continue without relief.

Until we have to kill them.
