I do not understand why we are strking IS. They are killing muslims and westerners like the ones before them. Why are IS so scary to the west?

They have more money and have stolen more weapons, and are attempting form a large nation dedicated to the destruction of the west. And they have declared war with us already.


We should nip it in the bud before we see huge terror attacks again

How can you prevent huge terror attacks?

They have no air defence or air attack so its a pretty easy battle of dropping bombs from a distance.

Wonder what would make the us drop a mini nuke?

[Beanflicker]

Bomb the fuck out of them.

In the morning I always check Independent, Guardian, Infowars, New York Times, Russia Today, UK Column, Zero hedge, Drudge Report, BBC, CNN and others time permitting. Syria Girl is in the video above, what more do you want?

I love The Intercept too, lots of sources, but like I say, information and presentation means that Syrian Girl is the best. I even read the bloody Daily Mail (shame on me).

I hate the politics in all these talks and I haven't got much politics in me, just simple right and wrong, which sadly have been overwhelmed by much politics ever since... I'd just say go get 'em headhunters whereever they are and whoever they may be. You gotta teach 'em sonafaguns that it ain't right chopping off people's innocent people's heads just trying to drive their point...

You know after all is said and done I'm not sure what the rest of the world should do. To me these air strikes most likely kill more innocent people then anything else. In addition, we don't know which rebel group we are going to arm but we are going to arm someone is not a sound policy.

Doing nothing is not sound either is it?

Or how about just nuking the area in order to stop what is sure to be another 100 years of this perpetual war?

Some real shifting moral foundations on this one. Our sterilized version of barbarianism verses their primitive one.


The irony here is that this new threat are most likely part of the 500,000 Republican guard that the West allowed to melt back into society while they were at the gates of Bagdad. They would have been all Sunni's. Then we went and put in the puppet Shia government.

Damn maybe its based on micro economics to ensure our involvement in a place with that much oil.

Yes, but with President Obama in charge we won't hear ANYTHING about innocent civilians being collateral damage with these air strikes and neither will the left protest these "military actions" as having A) Not been voted on by Congress or B ) "Blood for oil"....the media whips up the outrage and they aren't going to put the crosshairs on Obama, he's too important to criticize.

In addition, we don't know which rebel group we are going to arm but we are going to arm someone is not a sound policy.

Yeah pretty much. I'd like to see the United States and other Allies not give 1 thin dime to Saudi Arabia, Iraq, or any other Middle Eastern nation which treats women and minorities (namely religious minorities) so poorly.


The West has 21st Century reasoning...the Islamofascists are behind the times in that aspect roughly 600 years or so. There's your big problem.

This is the problem. We're supposed to be able to pick out groups of moderate jihadi nutjobs from the more extreme jihadi nutjobs and then train them so that they can overthrow the Assad regime. Then our strategy is to hope these moderate nutjobs then set up an inclusive liberal democracy that respects the rights of all the various religious sects in Syria. I can't see that happening somehow.

I mean that strategy worked so well in Libya, which is now a peaceful, united and prosperous country after we picked a bunch of moderate groups to arm. Oh wait, every major city is controlled by a different armed faction apart from the capital city which is being fought over by two competing governments. It's funny how the Libya coverage in western media has dropped off recently.
