ISIS is losing

I am in favor of hammering the hell out of them over there rather than have
more problems here. Most preferred to fight in Europe than in America in
WWII as well but the fear here was just as great.
We have more to fear from Ebola unchecked than we do ISIS unchecked but
both are a serious problem and we need to understand that.
ISIS is dangerous more from a head space than a weapons one fighting an
ideology is different from front lines. We should have been more prepared
on the internet than we are messages are the ultimate weapon in an ideological
war. ISIS will be a problem for some time its going to be a generation before

When IShole blood has soaked the landscape will another group take a crack at it or will they think about things?
Must be getting a bit panicky if NATO has to go and rescue it's own terrorists.
IS Jihadists Kidnap 90 Christians in Syria — Naharnet
Turkey has now officially proven that Israel and the United States are not the only nations that can brazenly violate the sovereignty of other countries, Syria in particular, without fear of reprisal due to NATO support and a blatant culture of aggression.
The Turkish invasion of Syrian soil on February 22 under the guise of protecting and securing the tomb of Sulayman Shah is case in point.
The tomb is largely recognized as a Turkish exclave since the early 1920s when, in 1921, it was agreed in the Treaty of Ankara that the Turks would be allowed to raise the Turkish flag over the tomb and place a small number of Turkish guards around the mausoleum given that Sulayman Shah bears such significance to Turkish history. The tomb is located about 23 miles from Turkey itself and thus is located inside Syrian territory.
According to mainstream Western press like CNN, the Turks were forced to evacuate the tomb and its contents due to the escalating violence in the area. CNN also reports that the evacuation was led and conducted with the 40 guards stationed around the tomb.
However, the reality is that the tomb evacuation was actually a relatively large military operation involving about 600 Turkish soldiers, 100 tanks, and APCs.
The Turkish military apparently entered Syria via Kobane (Ayn al-Arab).
Yet, while ISIS presence in towns and cities surrounding the tomb was cited as the reason for the evacuation, it should be noted that ISIS, so close to the tomb, never fired one shot at the Turkish military as it conducted its operations. Since, if Western press reports are to be believed, ISIS is the absolute worst strategist when it comes to avoiding unnecessary conflict with nations not necessarily engaged in combat against it, the fact that ISIS forces would allow the Turkish forces to enter its “territory” without so much as even the threat of violence is questionable to say the least.
What is much more believable, however, is that the Turkish forces acted in coordination with ISIS forces so as to justify an essential invasion of Syria and establish a foothold there as the Israelis direct ISIS forces and bomb Syrian territory from the Southwest and Jordan facilitates terrorism from the South. Of course, the U.S., NATO, and its proxy forces in the eastern portions of Syria simultaneously push toward the same center of the country at the same time.
Your forget to bump your Russian propaganda thread?

I don't thing the US will be getting any members for any proxy army after ISIS kicks the bucket.

Only idiots call other people idiots. If you guys understood how the human mind processes information you might understand why people exposed to the same information come to different conclusions. But that might require some thought, Heaven forbid.
Ah.looking in the mirror again. Not good for your self esteem, unless, of course you try to pawn it off on someone else, but that is just delusional. One is still left with nagging doubts of one's sanity.
And sniffing all that toxic crap you spray on you crops has done wonders for your cognitive skills as well. Your hatred will eventually eat you up inside (cancer). Not smoking enough pot might be a cause of your terminal anger.
Sometimes..........once in a blue moon you run into someone who is so obnoxious, it's best just to call a spade a spade!
No, but there's plenty of sympathizers on this side of the world, so you don't want to get too comfortable and rule out your neighbour!
What bombs have they dropped in this part of the world and how many locals have they beheaded?
