All the 'trucks they stole' have On-star, nothing like a remote shutdown rather than starting them up for them.

That must have been overlooked, I have no confidence in the leadership of this aher humanitarian action.

Do you have a better way of stopping the bastards? Have you considered that possibly Obama has a little more intelligence about the matter than you do? How many expert advisers do you listen to? -:)


Silly JLM. So quick to get on the Prez's knob and jump to his defense.


A. I do not think the President has a little more intelligence on this matter than I.


B. I am not overly against him ordering the US Military to bomb their ISIS brains out.


Back to the geritol!

Is it so crazy to say, let them sort their tribal bull$hit out for themselves?


Nope... that isn't that crazy either.

Well since your answer has a question mark I think it's safe to guess that you don't have a clue about who's running Amurka into the ground, do ya?

Murca.


Jooos?

For the benefit of our valuable friend and ally, Basher Assad.


Assad thugs better watch out for the short rounds! Whoop! Murca!

You really need some writing courses so can add some emotion to those repeats. (or did I miss the next wave) Must be a big blow to have to start killing the ones so much money has been invested in by the usual suspects.

Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates also reportedly took part in the attacks.


He gets that way when he has had a white-knuckle grip on his joy-stick for more than 3 minutes.


At our pleasure. DU and red hot steel flying through the air adding more chaos to the grind.

They are sure to mess up that. 'Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.'. The humanitarian action is for US officials and this action is to kill off the potential ICC witnesses. Given the situation and you were a rebel in Syria that is losing badly would you haold a vest if somebody asked you to hold it while they went to the washroom (in the next town)?

47 cruise missiles. ISIS is lucky they're dealing with a Nobel peace prize winner and not a war hawk.

barf

Can somebody translate what that guy is saying (besides the Allah U Akbar)?
There was a memo put out that you 'no speakee the Engrish wranguage' when the camera's red light is on.

One question you might want to ask is if ISIS in the one pic has the towns people around in that area what would cause the mass exodus to Turkey. Dids they get word from ISIS that the US was going to level the village. Do the villages know it was the US or would the Rebels promote it was Syrian craft that did the task and the proof is that Israel bagged one.

God has a big table, Christians send Him 24,000 children every day that they are too lazy to feed.. Sorry what was your point again?

Find me one video of a Christian, Jew, Atheist, Buddhist, Scientologist, or even just a plain old Agnostic cutting the head off someone who is kicking and screaming.

I have a few Muslim friends who would look at this and puke.

You excuse it by pointing a finger at Christianity.

How telling.

Compared to being blown to fuk by an airstrike? I don't see much fukking difference actually.
I didn't excuse it, I pointed out that Christians and Jews kill a lot of innocent people also. If you want to get all teary eyed over a reporter in a combat zone getting killed, well that's why they should get hazard pay and fill out a will before they go into those zones. The rebels that are killing the innocent Christians are funded by you and me and every other taxpaying Canadian and American. I'm not sure we are getting out monies worth. If you find the killing wrong then you shoulf be supporting the Syrian Govt in their fight against the ones doing those very deeds.

You most definitely excuse it. But then you excuse Russia and Suicide Bombers so why should I be surprised by this?

Syria be rockin' tonight! -:)
Other than the short vids are there any body counts of rebels killed (we already have a count for civilians starting to come in) The attacks on them in Iraq had a zero number beside it.

You excuse 2600 in Gaza being murdered by the IDF, if you atre trying to prove who is a bigger tard you are way ahead of me already.
Excuse Russia for what? Sending in convoys of aid via the Red Cross, That's 3 now, the only thing coming from Kiev is men and war machines. Russia let Crimea join or they would be looking like some batter parts in the east Ukraine. Lose a few killing andf you get all upset, too fukking bad, Crimea got away from the West, suck it up and sit down and shut the fuk up, you're embarrassing to your side
Suicide bombers, WTF did that come from or you just have a limited amount of words to play with.
You might want to consider not getting too involved in the threads where random killings are happening. You don't even know who you should be cheering for.

I'm predicting ISIS will be toast in about two weeks! -:)
Yep, like the Vietcong.

Compared to being blown to fuk by an airstrike?
Yep. When you're killed by an airstrike, you're just dead. When you're beheaded by DOUCHE, you're really, really, extra-special, ultradead.

(in part)
The recent airstrikes by the United States and its allies allegedly against ISIS positions in Syria have been soundly condemned by both Iran and Russia . Both countries have accurately pointed out that the airstrikes were a violation of Syria’s national sovereignty and a violation of international law. Syria, however, has refrained from outrage and has even stated that the United States informed it of the attacks before they took place.

Syria’s reaction has caused many to believe one of two things: First, that the United States truly is focused on eliminating ISIS; and, second, that the United States and Syria are now working together to achieve this end.
Despite Syria’s forbearance, however, the truth is far from either of these ideas. The United States is in no way interested in destroying its own proxy army nor is it interested in working with the secular Assad government. After all, Assad and the Syrian government are the ultimate target of the West to begin with.

It is thus very important to note that informing Syria of attacks taking place on its soil is not the same as coordinating those attacks or cooperating with the Syrian government. In other words, information is not the same as cooperation.

The United States has repeatedly stated that it refuses to coordinate any airstrikes with the Syrian government and responded with an Orwellian statement that it would oust Assad military if he dare defend himself against American attacks.

Even Congressman Justin Amash, during the Congressional debate on whether or not to support arming the mythical "moderate rebels," was able to recognize the fact that the plans to "detect and degrade" ISIS was a clever disguise for a war on the secular government of Syria with no options off the table, including the use of ground troops.

In his own statement announcing his opposition to the amendment, Amash stated,
Today’s amendment ostensibly is aimed at destroying ISIS—yet you’d hardly know it from reading the amendment’s text. The world has witnessed with horror the evil of ISIS: the public beheading of innocents, the killing of Christians, Muslims, and others.
The amendment’s focus—arming groups fighting the Assad government in Syria—has little to do with defeating ISIS. The mission that the amendment advances plainly isn’t the defeat of ISIS; it’s the defeat of Assad.​
[...]​
The Obama administration has tried to rally support for U.S. involvement in the Syrian civil war by implying that our help would be at arm’s length. The amendment Congress will vote on broadly authorizes “assistance” to groups in Syria. It does not specify what types of weapons our government will give the groups. It does not prohibit boots on the ground. (The amendment is silent on the president’s power to order our troops to fight in the civil war; it states only that Congress doesn’t provide “specific statutory authorization” for such escalation.) It does not state the financial cost of the war.​
[...]​
If the Syrian groups that are “appropriately vetted” (the amendment’s language) succeed and oust Assad, what would result? Would the groups assemble a coalition government of anti-Assad fighters, and would that coalition include ISIS? What would happen to the Alawites and Christians who stood with Assad? To what extent would the U.S. government be obligated to occupy Syria to rebuild the government? If each of the groups went its own way, would Syria’s territory be broken apart, and if so, would ISIS control one of the resulting countries?While Amash was correct to suggest that Congress should have opposed the amendment and that the amendment was actually a plan for an assault against the Syrian government as well as the fact that that anarchy, chaos, and unspeakable violence will reign supreme in Syria if the “appropriately vetted” groups managed to gain control of the country, Amash does miss part of the point.​
The truth is not that “we don’t know much about the groups we are funding in Syria.” The truth is that “we” know full well that they are ISIS/Al-Qaeda terrorists, with only an occasional name change and branch off due to Western political motives or internal squabbling. That has been and still is the whole point.
