And Hagel says these guys are the worst of the worst, but Obama says they are "The JV"?? How will the Admin explain what Obama really meant this time??
Hmmm JV = Jazeera Venture? No Just Vengeance? No Just Vacationing? Can I play golf too?
Beeyatch
Isn’t there a picture of Juan with some of these guys floating around in cyberspace?
Yes, beyond anything we have see....uhh huhhhh...
One day I watched TV and saw planes being flown into buildings and people jumping to their deaths to avoid being burned alive.
Like, beyond that?
These dumbasses need to subscribe to the Sultan Knish blog.
Really?
JV as in junior varsity. Varsity will be along in a few short years and it won’t hold a candle to what’s happening now.
That’s what he meant, that’s what he intended, and if we allow this administration to keep doing what they are doing. Then varsity will be along shortly.
If we don’t understand these evil scumbags, then we cannot win. A war of annihilation is justified, and needed. Send in every substantial western army now. No more debating, shoot first and ask questions later. Wipe this scourge off of the map, and hand the Kurds the reigns in Iraq.
All you infidels, know that ISIS is but the spearhead.
The shaft is that group of silent and “peaceful” muzzies standing on the sidelines.
But all of it is pointed at your a$$.
Fill the skys with Predator Drones, armed to the teeth, and destroy EVERYTHING flying a BLACK Flag.
Tune up the A-10’s, Apache Helicopters, Fighter Jets and “go to town” on these clowns.
Use assymetrical tactics. Get 1,000 Marine Snipers, Navy Seals, Army Special Forces, and the like, and let them go TERRORIST on ISIS. Back them up with all the air support they need.
It wouldn’t be that hard. I am sure we have soldiers who would volunteer for the assignment.
"This is beyond anything we have seen, and we must prepare for everything Hagel said."
How can you? You've dismembered our military, and now you want to take a cold steely eye and get prepared?
Hagel ? What do you mean “get ready?” It’s it time you and wonder boy quit gutting the military?
Don’t expect terrorists/freedom fighters to stick to their “principles” because they have none.
So Obama says that an organization called the Islamic State speaks for no religion, although thousands (if not tens of thousands) of Islam men leave their countries to join its army in the Middle East for the purpose of spreading Islam.
Yet, he also believes that America is one of the largest Islamic Countries (although it has about 1% population) and that Muslims helped build the very fabric of our nation, although there was no mosque until the mid 1900’s.
We are on the verge of a world war with Islamic radicals and western civilization will hang in the balance. Like the US in the 1930s, the looming threat of the Nazis and Japanese fascists was ignored while isolationism and military disarmament left us unprepared for the war to come. We have already had our “Pearl Harbor” attack on September 11, 2001, but failed to crush the enemy when we had the chance. Now Obama golfs and exudes weakness while our enemies gather for another even bigger strike at the US homeland. This world war will be worse than the last and will likely quickly go nuclear. While we still have the power to crush Islamic radicalism once and for all we totally lack the will and because of Obama soon will lack the power.
Make sure you give them their rights before you arrest them. Can we try them in NYC?
Pray America wakes
The Middle East is confusing.
A piece by General Allen yesterday said that elements of Syrian rebels, Kurds and Sunnis should be used under a unified command to defeat the Islamic State (the IS ir ISIS).
“The Kurds, the Sunnis and the Free Syrian resistance elements of the region are the boots on the ground necessary to the success of this campaign, and the attack on IS must comprehensively orchestrate these diverse forces across the entire region. “
http://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2014/08/gen-allen-destroy-islamic-state-now/92012/
Hamas is ISIS and vice versa according to Israel’s Netanyahu.
Hezbollah, Assad in Syria and Iran are tied together. Iran is Shi’ite and ISIS executes Shia and releases Sunni.
So only those with detailed knowledge of the various tribal elements such as General Allen can sort out a plan to defeat the IS.
McCain should be fully informed but he is a shill for other interests that conservatives are opposed to. Conservatives are in a bad position here. As Kurds and others achieve some roll back of ISIS, Obama gets credit and democrats get a boost in November as the party that best manages the region. On the other hand if ISIS gains more traction, Obama can’t blame the situation on GW Bush and the republicans any longer but then ISIS can solidify and win long term gains.
Even if republicans take the Senate and hold the House, ISIS expansion continues. And the republican leadership that controls the House and Senate are bought and paid for by the same oligarchs that bought and paid for the democrats. So conservatives are left out in the cold.
If Ted Cruz or Sarah Palin or someone similar takes the White House in 2016, and tea party conservatives gain leadership of the House and Senate, ISIS will be established and only full scale war designed to destroy them will work.
But golf!
