Retired generals: Be afraid of ISIS
CNN ^

Posted on 04/27/2015 7:08:21 AM PDT by MNDude

Be afraid -- be very afraid. This is the warning the world deserves to hear. Because the leader of the free world refuses to look with clear eyes at the chief security challenges of the 21st century: the fruits of radical Islam.

The results of the Obama White House's innovative efforts to make the world a better place can be accounted for in the ever-growing numbers of victims of radical Islam in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. Not to mention here in the United States, Canada and Europe. Is it not a tragic irony that the Arab Spring-era policies of a Nobel Peace Prize recipient accommodated the transition of Syria into the world's newest jihad theater while leaving Libya a failed state and Yemen a failing state?

The Syrian jihad gave rise to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, which now uses Syria as a rear operating base to support its jihad in Iraq, which could soon spill over into Jordan. Plus, Libya is now being used as a rear operating base by ISIS and other global jihadist elements striving to redraw the map of the Middle East, even as they plan attacks in Europe and North America.

Given the frightfully slow pace America's commander-in-chief is currently allowing our military and intelligence community to take action against both ISIS and its progenitor, al Qaeda, the picture of what's in store is clear: The body count will continue to grow in the places where these groups can generate buy-in for their agendas.

Academics who must say something new or different to garner interest in their work may describe the agendas of ISIS and al Qaeda as distinctly different. But they are not -- their agendas are manifestations of radical Islam.

How about the military attack the town in Mexico where ISIS is located? Answer: They can't do that How about they put the military on the border and secure it. Answer: They can't do that How about they finiancilly shut down ISIS? Obviously it cost a lot of money to move people, arms, fuel, feed and house their Army. Anwer: For some odd reason???????????? They can't do that too. All the Trillions of dollars that was spent post 911, the war and we have to take your freedom to protect you (Patriotic Act, TSA, NSA spying, etc) , and they can't even stop ISIS......

There is NO radical Islam.
It’s just Islam.
Everything ISIS is doing is in their book.
All muslims are obligated to war against unbelievers until there is only Islam. It’s in their book.

There can be no peace until there is only Islam or no Islam.

To the leftist moslem enablers, be afraid, be very afraid. The muzzies will not get us all. There will be a heavy price. God bless America.

And neither the United States nor our Western allies are immune to this cancer.

“Be afraid - be very afraid”

Well, there are some uplifting words from some old retired war horses.

For crying out loud, they should take the advice that an old 3 Star General gave me.

“Be very careful of your words.”

Not everyone reading their words has the benefit of their training and experience.

Exactly right.
I fear the consequences of ISIS, such as Iran and Turkey joining up in a new caliphate. They hate Israel but they hate Saudi Arabia too.

"...and they can’t even stop ISIS……"

Hell! A nation that can put a man on the moon and conquer polio cannot figure out how to keep heroin pushers from preying on its children in elementary schools!

It's because its people have lost their way. The American people are overwhelmed and fatally confused by decadence. They believe and follow their politicians, university professors, celebrities, news reporters, and the rest of the intelligentsia, who are themselves so confused and corrupt as to lead America into a death-spiral of decay and suicide.

Will the American people wake up and come to their senses in time to save themselves and their children? Only time will tell.

The Democrats will let ISIS spin out of control until they are thrown from office. Then they will let a Republican come in to clean up thier mess whilst they stand on the sidelines and throw rocks at him relentlessly. While the war rages on, media will rediscover homelessness, environmental degradation, unemployment, and all the other social ills they ignore when a democrat is in the oval office. The next Republican that comes in will need to dismantle the leftist administrative state j by piece or else we are doomed to repeat the rino-democrat cycle until we are utterly destroyed.

The RINO-Democrats will destroy the United States. Some intend to. Some are their feckless dupes. Unless the American people come to their senses and stop them, the U.S.A. is doomed.
