Say goodbye to ISIS: Airstrikes begin in Syria

[brycejones]

I don't have a direct quote from you, but you did mention something along the lines of "Bomb them back to the stone age"
So now that it's being done, you're against it.
You have proved yourself yet again to be a fucking moron.

It wasn't along the lines of that is an exact quote.

ISIS is not Islam...

Not islam?

Islam is part of the isis name.

lulz.

France ditching the 'Islamic State' name - and replacing it with ‘Daesh’ label

WASHINGTON — From the start, exactly what to call the extremist Islamist group that has taken over much of Syria and Iraq has been problematic. At first, many called it the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). However, due to differences over how the name should be translated from the Arabic, some (including the U.S. government) referred to them as ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant).

France had hinted that it would begin using this term — how the group is referred to in much of the Arab world — before, but this week appears to be the first time that the country has used it in official communications.

lulz...

The people that make those fake Islam sites do this all the time, they know they can play with translations of the words to make people like you and Nebor believe anything

 

[Texashiker]

See above.

In other words, the united states is in violation of international law?

As much as I agree with bombing the crap out of isis, I can not agree with dropping bombs on a sovereign nation.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Actually they do have fixed bases and buildings. That's what's being bombed in Syria at the moment.

There's three stages. The first is easy, and that's bomb known assets. The second is a bit tougher where items are being relocated in response to overt attacks. The third is when IS has moved into populated civilian areas. When that happens then what?

It isn't really a nation any more, it doesn't have any control over lots of its territory.

 

[boomerang]

In 2012 Biden predicted that this would happen with Syria. Of course that was if Romney won...

 

[MrPickins]

We just do not understand islam. Those are freedom fighters and not terrorist.

It is not their fault they are killing christians, women and children. We just need to bring democracy to them. Once they see how democracy works they will live in peace.

ROFL

You should really pick up a history book and see how well that's worked out in the past.

Then it's time for Josh Earnest's 'Boots on the Ground'

I really think we need to pick an ISIS city and bomb it like we did Dresden and Tokyo and give them an ultimatum: Turn in the terrorist bastards or your city will look like this too. Only 'Total War' works and the reason why we won WW2 and lost the majority of the wars after that. So what we dropped more tonnage of bombs in Vietnam and Korea, what really needs to count is tonnage of bombs on cities not the worthless and stupid jungle. I have a feeling we wouldn't be having this conversation if Assad was able to use the full chemical arsenal on the Syrian rebels.

An ISIS city? Wouldn't you be killing a lot of the people you want to save?

Those bombing in populated areas are acused of genocide and targeting women and children...hmmm........sounds like the same scenario........

 

[JEDIYoda]

so Original Earl be the first before Whiskey gets involved and beats you to the punch.....accuse the coalition of genocide....or at the very least targeting women and children...

Actually we did notify Syria through 2 different avenues via their UN representative and also via a diplomat. Syria did not object and Assad even said he supports the bombing....

Um..nobody is bombing the cities
Your Mossad and US mil intelligence co workers should be able to help you with that

I don't think that anyone thinks that airstrikes are going to finish anything.
Its going to degrade IS's ability to go on the offensive if they are losing their leaders and shuffling their assets around. Hopefully that will give the other players breathing space to reclaim their territory.

 

[JEDIYoda]

We shouldn't have gotten involved at all. Let them set up a new caliphate in Iraq & Syria. Let them slaughter the Christians trapped on the mountain. Maybe the world will see Islam for what it is. If it gets out of control, Iran can deal with it.

There's no good guys in this fight. Just varying degrees of bad guys. This administration has a bad habit of intervening in conflicts between two groups of people who both hate us. Just let them kill each other at no cost to us.

<--this!!

Imagine the outrage if a Republican president was doing this...

Thanks Obomber!

You saying that something like this shouldn't be done? Your alternative strategy would be?

lulz.

And is this not the most Christian of Christian sects?

[Londo_Jowo]

Yep, and all the videos on live leak showing mass killings.

Who could not love a culture who lines people up and shoots them in the head?

There was a video posted a few weeks ago of men being brought to a river, shot in the head, and their dead bodies falling into the water. There was so much blood on the deck the shooter was sliding.

How many of the world's 1.57 billion Muslims were involved in these heinous acts?

 

[raildogg]

Western civilization bring love and peace to the world - with bombs, missiles, fighter jets, nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, drones and who know what else.

Yeah, sure. Like a name means it's actual reality. Plenty of people wear the cross. Does that make them Christian? Is it that easy?

But dividing ourselves is the norm. We humans love warfare and destroying each other.

Just pointing out the manipulations of the left on voters. You CAN'T vote for this guy because he's going to do the exact thing we end up doing. And it works! Prey on the fear centers of uninformed voters. Genius really when you think about it. I mean it's horrible that the left has to treat people that way but the left seems to have no qualms with it. Lambaste your political opponents for their principles and then adopt those same principles. It takes a certain type of person to pull that off. It's salesmanship on steroids.
