You mean the same ISIS Obama called the JV team?? I wouldn't trust anything from the US Government right now..
Didn't make that claim there Mental Midget.
I made the claim that the Obama administration has already once under estimated ISIS calling them the JV team.. now they are at war with them..
There are many sides to the story.. Ebola, ISIS.. whatever.. it's just news.
Do ISIS and Ebola Threaten the Homeland?
oh brother? :roll:
It's news.. that's it, that's all..
You read way to much into things.. shouldn't you be out hugging a tree or something??
Unless you live in Kobani, or maybe came into contact with Duncan.
SARs was nothing to worry about, and neither was militant Islam.
I'm not saying we need to freak out, but acting like a divisive f*ck stick just makes you look dumber than usual, Flossy.
Iraq's Shia militias kill Sunni civilians in retaliation against ISIS
Iraq's Shia militias have abducted and killed "scores" of Sunni civilians with the tacit support of the government in retaliation for ISIS group attacks, Amnesty International said Tuesday, as a suicide car bombing killed 23 people, including a Shia lawmaker.
The Shia militiamen number in the tens of thousands and wear military uniforms but operate outside any legal framework and without any official oversight, the London-based watchdog warned in its new report, entitled "Absolute Impunity: Militia Rule in Iraq." It said the militiamen are never prosecuted for their crimes.
The accusations were based on interviews with families and survivors who claimed that members of four prominent Iraqi Shia militias — Asaib Ahl al-Haq, the Badr Brigades, the Mahdi Army, and Ketaeb Hizbollah — were behind the abduction and killing of many Sunnis.

Sunni insurgents have regularly targeted Shia neighbourhoods with car bombs and other attacks since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, and in June the ISIS extremist group swept across northern Iraq, seizing the second largest city Mosul.
In the aftermath of the onslaught, then-Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki called on volunteers to support the Iraqi army, leading several powerful militias — many with links to neighbouring Iran — to mobilize to defend the country.
The revival of the militias has deepened the sense of alienation among the country's Sunni minority — seen as a key factor behind the rise of ISIS — and has raised fears of a return to the sectarian conflict that gripped the country in 2006 and 2007.

I don't see anything in the article about boots on the ground.
Are you trying to fabricate something to argue?
Ending violence, even with violent means, is sometimes an ugly necessity.
Even against militant step ladders.
Home town team, boots on the ground, defending the home town from an invading force.
I'd explain how that's kind of important, but you'd need a spine to get it.
What?
I made a sincere offer to get you there, so you could "talk". You ignored it.
Instead, you hide here, mocking anyone that thinks stopping these animals is a good idea, and now you don't even agree with nationals defending themselves form ISIS. That to me, is the epitome of cowardice.
