Good to know.

Q99
Not at all surprising, and may Daesh fall quickly.

Well, these guys obviously didn't know what they were getting into. It sucks for the innocent people though.

Time-Immemorial
Great news.

The innocent Russian, French people yes. My thoughts go out to them.

Hopefully the Russians will take the bombing of their plane as a sign that ISIS is a more pressing enemy than the Free Syrian Army, and they'll stop fighting Al-Assad's war and focus on the real threat.

Time-Immemorial
Hopefully Russia will accidentally kill Assad.

That would be interesting, if fairly unlikely.





Also the innocent people in the area who just want to not-be-killed by Daesh.

Lebanon/Beirut was hit last week too....

Daesh really has made enemies of practically the entire world.

Robtard
Is calling ISIS/ISIL "Daesh" similar in how George H.W, Bush insultingly referred to Saddam as "Saadd-dam"?

Flyattractor
I prefer the way Bob Hope referred to Saddam. as Maddass!~

Good stuff. Bombing will quickly get those countries back to being secure just like it did with Libya, Niger, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan etc

You have to point it out. Democrats/Liberals/Progressives don't have what is known universally as a "Sense of Humor".

Yeah, it's usually the ones not getting the joke who have superb sense of humor.

....Ok Who explained it to Bardy?

I think what FA is lacking is basic intelligence, not sense of humor.

Flyattractor
I thought about going with Basic but then I didn't want to be labeled a progressive so I went with Advanced instead.

Robtard
Even when called Iraq it was relatively secure, Saddam kept the people we now call terrorist in check, since they threatened his dictatorship.

Sort of... It was internally secure but outwardly belligerent.. Which in turn made it not secure... Similar to north Korea or nazi Germany

Tzeentch
Iraq was outwardly belligerent to people who didn't help it further its own self-interests -in that regard it really isn't any different from the US, or most countries.

edit- iirc, 1832 was approximately the last time that the US managed to go one year without being officially in a state of "at war" with another state or organization. I wouldn't really compare us to Nazi Germany though.

If you want to consider saying that OPPRESION is a form of tolerable security.

Q99
Isis executes a China national, China vows to bring them to justice


Daesh's strategy really seems to be "Piss off entire world, hope that they get in each other's way."

With a side-order of "and that they lash out blindly enough against Muslims to push more recruits their way." (Seriously, Islamophobia is literally their recruiting strategy. Oppose it!).

But, I'm guessing you didn't know that.

Making a buck is making a buck. He passed the back ground checks so we sold him stuff. As long as he blew up his people with them what should I care.

That and Knowing and Giving a **** are two diff things.

smokin'

Tzeentch
We sold them to him because he agreed to fight Iran for us if we did, and we sold them to him knowing that he was going to use them to create biological weapons, which is a war-crime.

And, of course you don't give a ****- you'd never let silly things like facts get in the way of your crusade to be the most retarded human being alive.

I really think the latter is their main goal. It's a great recruiting mechanism. Unfortunately.

Yes. They've outright said it to messages to their people.


It's kinda sad that it can work as well as it does when some of the worst people on Earth are saying, "This is what we want to happen and why."
