'They're coming out with their hands up – full scale surrender': US General says ISIS fighters
The Daily Mail ^ | Updated: 09:49 EDT, 6 October 2017 | William Crisp

'They're giving up,' said Lieutenant General Paul Funk, who commands the coalition task force fighting Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. 'Their leaders are abandoning them.'

In uncommon scenes, large groups of militants were turning themselves over to Kurdish Peshmerga forces, in the city southwest of Kirkuk.

'The speed at which the enemy gave up surprised me,' Funk said in a phone interview from Baghdad, after Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the liberation of Hawija.

Funk said about 1,000 militants surrendered in the past three or four days of fighting in Hawija. The coalition had estimated up to 1,500 militants were defending the city when the offensive began.

The Kurds cooperate well with the Iraqi army and the training and experience will stand them in good stead when ISIS is gone and Iraq moves to incorporate Kurdistan back into Iraq.

After what they were responsible for. Shoot them all (or worse).

Maybe they should hold off on the executions until the surrenderers have all surrendered. Wouldn’t want to discourage them.

My point is that GWB served in the military and knew better. When Obama crippled our military with suicidal rules of engagement, he never criticized. But, he had all manner of fire and brimstone to throw against Trump. Obama never served either and he is the one that imposed those insane rules of engagement upon our military.

I guess the main point is that DJT is more interested in actually winning than in appeasing the intelligentsia who pretty much despise the U.S. and are deliberately working to emasculate our nation.

I’m a real feminist and understand that feminism complements masculinity. It does not compete or replace it. Both George Bush and Barack Obama subordinated true masculinity to feminism. Idiots. Now we have a real leader in our CIC. Does that clarify?

Appreciate your comments and don’t disagree with any point you’ve made. By the way, have you read the book entitled Weak Link: The Feminization of The American Military?

It’s times like this that I look forward to Jesus ruling the world with a rod of iron. No injustice. Nothing like standing before a judge who knows what you have done, are doing, and will do. Until then, when an injustice is witnessed today, know that justice will be served for eternity.

for those of us who are bad with names, “The Canadian-born Khadr was 15 in 2002 when he tossed a grenade in a firefight that killed U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer, a special forces medic.”

They should be held in prison and their pictures plastered throughout the territory that ISIS held. Any family recognizing a rapist, torturer, or murderer should come forward and testify. However, those families who were buried in the pits cannot testify. Guilty by association.

Death.

LOL I imagined a graphic video that would show that like the sponges. Very apropos and universally understood.

If they surrender to the Kurds or Iraqis, will they be sentenced to death?

AGREE!

Kill every single one of them.
Humanely of course.
Single shot, back of head.

I have ZERO sympathy for these MFs who have raped, killed, tortured, burned alive so many people including CHILDREN.

They are pure evil.

Please turn them over to their enemies once they’ve been interrogated.

Let's get on with the Nuremberg style hearings, get their confessions on video for posterity, and hang every last one of the goathumpers.

Some have. And they were tried and sentenced to death. Suspect it is already carried out in some. Have not heard reports of that though.

Thank you for your comments and I’m glad that you generally agree. I have not yet read that book. I probably won’t. . .I’ve watched it before my eyes. We also need books on the feminization of business, of sports, of education of govt. ..etc. ad infinitum.

It’s not that femininity is bad, far from it. But imposing it inappropriately in spheres where it is doomed to fail is idiotic. Now we have people trying to say that “businesses” are like “family”. No, they’re not. I would gladly forfeit my life for any one of my children, but not for a colleague. Big difference.

That doesn’t mean that there is no place for femininity in business, only that it should not dominate and undermine successful activities. I have an article on my blog: Feminimism and the Patriarchy Crutch.

now I know why Isaiah was sick for 2 weeks after one of the visions. I was thinking of ISIS and then the 200million man army of Revelation.
