Congrats may be due hussein on this one...but I'm much further inclined to think it typical more of one filthy islamist to another, which actually happens all the time.

[Don Corleone]

How do liberals justify this seeming anomaly?

[SMM48]

Whatever happened to those nasty varsity killers, the Khorasan?

Obviously, you have not been "keeping up with the KHORASANS"!

[JudyinCanada]

First thing I thought as well. Boots on the ground in Syria?

[Lorianne]

Well it looks like we’re on the ground there risking American lives in order to protect some Muslims from other Muslims (none of which give a damn about us and would rather see our throats slit).

What a noble cause.

[BigCinBigD]

Ha!

Killing ISIS leaders is something we should be doing more of.

That wife in the photo is tooooooo funny! :-)

"SEALs or Rangers? I put my money on SEALs.

Neither. If it were SEALs one of them would already be on TV. Think "Quiet Professionals".

[Lorianne]

Why? This is protecting Muslims from other Muslims.
Why is this our job?

[Ethan Clive Osgoode]

This is protecting Muslims from other Muslims.

You haven't heard the news about ISIS slaughtering Christians and blowing up churches?

[Lorianne]

They are mostly killing other Muslims.
We’re not over there saving Christians.

We’re over there propping up yet another dictator and we’re involving our military in a sectarian religious war that has nothing to do with us (and which has been going on for 1,000 years)

[BluH2o]

Neither. If it were SEALs one of them would already be on TV.

Army Delta forces like to fly below the radar as do Marine Special Ops. Navy SEAL units need to lower their profile, good for recruiting, but it lowers operational effectiveness.

So you think it was wrong of America to take out this Abu Sayyaf guy?

[PGalt]

Obviously, you have not been "keeping up with the KHORASANS"!

ROFLMAO! I see what you did there. Very funny. Thanks.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yer killin me. :-)

[Lorianne]

Yes because this is not our fight. Some country from the region should have taken him out.

Why do none of the people in the region never have skin in the game? Why do we end up doing all their scut work for them (at great risk to our military people)?

Let them take the risks themselves and kill their own extremists.

[Ethan Clive Osgoode]

this is not our fight

How many terrorist attacks on American soil would it take before you change your mind?

[Lorianne]

We should defend against terrorist attacks on our own soil including but not limited to not importing millions of Muslims to our land.

Was this Sayaf person planning such an attack? Let’s see the evidence.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Assad never persecuted the Syrian Christians. Most Syrian Christians support Assad. Syria has a long history of Christians. ISIS is killing Christians and everybody else who isn’t ISIS. ISIS needs to go not Assad.
