Foreign fighters are streaming into Syria and Iraq in unprecedented numbers to join the Islamic State or other extremist groups, including at least 3,400 from Western nations among 20,000 from around the world, U.S. intelligence officials say in an updated estimate of a top terrorism concern.

You bet, and the other 1.86 billion will have fun watching.

I believe situations like this are why the Neutron Bomb was invented.

Perhaps it’s time to finally test one in a “real-world” setting ....

“George W. Bush had a brilliant plan to attract all these Muslim Death Cult participants to Afghanistan and Iraq.”

I thought that way. So did my son that was killed there. We said it would take a generation or two. Needed a place to have a war, and those places were as good as any.

Too bad we weren't terribly serious about killing them there.

George W. Bush had a brilliant plan to attract all these Muslim Death Cult participants to Afghanistan and Iraq. Once there, they were soundly defeated by the U.S. Military, and Al Queda was decimated and retreating. All that was needed was a little continued "maintenance". Thanks Obama for F***ing that up.

I'm no Obama fan, but I don't see this as a problem. We were spending $100b a year keeping US troops in both countries. This is maintenance without US ground troops (or casualties). In essence, Northern Alliance vs Taliban, with Uncle Sam providing air support, but in Iraq and Syria. Instead of $100b a year, it might cost us $10b. That's a significant discount. And the jihadist atrocities will gradually turn Muslims (1) away from jihad or (2) away from Islam. Even more amusing, foreign jihadists without military training are being shanghaied into acting as suicide bombers. Some are escaping and living to tell the tale, thereby exploding (!) the idea of some international jihadist brotherhood. It's more "blow 'em (foreign jihadists) up if they can't take a joke".

"Foreign fighters are streaming into Syria and Iraq in unprecedented numbers to join the Islamic State or other extremist groups..."

Sounds like a wonderfully target rich environment to me. What exactly are we waiting for. Oh yeah. I almost forgot, we got an Obama Lama Ding Dong in the White House. Jeesh, My bad.

Add my family and myself as well.

[Shamrock-DW]

Start mass producing CBU-58A/B bombs and give to anyone willing to target ISIS....
