Islamic State fighters pinned on Syrian riverbank, warplanes fly above

Warplanes flew near Baghouz in eastern Syria early on Wednesday, a Reuters witness said, as the final remnants of the Islamic State group held a narrow strip of land along the Euphrates in a last-ditch defense of its dwindling territory. On Tuesday, the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said they had driven the remaining Islamic State fighters in the town of Baghouz from a makeshift encampment that had represented most of its remaining territory.

Twitter has pictures of their dead bodies strewn from bomb blasts, which I won't post - but only about 100-150 acres of ISIS territory left to plow, along a riverbank. They take human shields with them, even down to the last.

Tomorrow starts the biggest holiday of the year for Kurds, Newroz (New Year). I guess they will want to announce victory them, and make that the anniversary to celebrate. But the enemy might surrender today, or just not survive until tomorrow.

Interesting how such a “magnificent caliphate” of two years ago is now down to a strip of bomb-chewed earth on the Euphrates.

And true to the courageous tradition of Islam, they continue to hide behide human shields.

Be aware that the rememants of the “Magnificent ISIS Caliphate” will continue to infect the world with kidnappings, bombings and other common crimes.

In the pre-politically correct days, we had a running cadence that went, “Napalm, napalm sticks like glue...” I’ll spare you the rest of it.

“but only about 100-150 acres of ISIS territory left to plow,“

Artillery and air strikes until nothing is left twitching. Then do it again just to be sure.

If by chance anything at all is left alive, shoot it in the head.

No mercy.

No quarter.

No prisoners.

This does prove one thing false. If we fight them there we won’t have to fight them here is pure pap.

Our country is loaded with the enemy. They even serve in the RAT party and demand respect while planning to inflict Sharia on us.

Kill them all and don’t take any prisoners.
Otherwise, they’ll end up in Western country as ‘refugees.’

“This does prove one thing false. If we fight them there we won’t have to fight them here is pure pap. Our country is loaded with the enemy. They even serve in the RAT party and demand respect while planning to inflict Sharia on us.”

Exactly. I still remember the old refrain “we have to fight them over there so that we won’t have to fight them over here” refrain from the George W. Bush days. And all the while we were “fighting them over there”, Jorge was importing record numbers of them. And then we had to have limitations on our civil liberties (like the “Patriot Act”) because we had enemies among us.

Bush piled stupid upon stupid in his policies.

Maybe now is the time to take out the Ring-Leader of ISIS. He could be holed up in Washington DC.

The Donald had done in two years what the magic negro either couldn’t or wouldn’t do in 8.
Course the magic clown is a mooselimb so it wasn’t ever his intent to destroy these crazies.

Was it stupid or deliberate evil? How exactly would his actions be different if he were in cahoots with "our dear friends, the Saudis" to bring down western civilization and establish a world caliphate?

As long as Islam exists that will be a problem.

A Muslim can "get religion", at any time and decide doing what Allah wants done is more important than worldly endeavors. - Tom
