So unexpected.
ISIS Crisis solved. Fore!
Bill Clinton was prescient...It is “Amateur Hour” in this WH...
“Fahid...we make deal. You give us weapons that America gives you...we won’t cut off your heads. Good deal for all, yes?”
So, the “moderate” Syrian rebels capture the various journalists, medical personnel, and relatively wealthy citizens of every stripe, then turns them over to ISIS, in exchange for a modest payment, and ISIS then ransoms the unfortunate prisoners back to governments, families, corporations or whatever, under threat of executing them if the ransom is not paid.
Looks like a real money-making scheme, all right. And apparently, they have the green light from the Current Regime now squatting in the White Hut, in that territory once known as “the United States of America”.
What could possibly go wrong?
I’m sure that this will be spun by the Obama sycophants as meaning the ISIS has gone over to the side of Moderate Islam.
Obama is using the war against ISIS as an excuse to finance and arm the Syrian terrorists whom he calls “Rebels”.
“Vetted” seems to be the administration’s new buzzword...the new happy word that makes everything alright.
The problem is... it means absolutely nothing to a muslim. Zip, zilch, zero, nada.
Obama cannot be wrong - his decisions before must be right and he must stick to them to prove it - no matter how many lives it costs or how much more he destabilizes Syria and hands it on a platter to those he should be fighting!
Apparently Obama wants to overthrow Assad same time as attacking IS — “Kirby said the Pentagon foresees training more than 5,000 Syrian rebels in Saudi Arabia over the coming year.” —http://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2014/09/12/us-will-be-ramping-up-airstrikes-soon-in-iraq
Incredible.
Let's feed it here and kill it over there.
Was it Andy McCarty, yesterday, who hinted, to be "Moderate Islam" was to be the 'radical?'
People who don't study history in any depth, for example, are likely to overlook the history of fascism, just in Germany, where there was more than just the Nazis and Adolf Hitler, indeed, more than just Hitler vying for Top Dog among the Nazis, at various times.
Imagine, however, singling out Hitler and his bully-boys as deranged and in need of excising, and further, claiming the "Nazis weren't fascists," or that "fascists weren't German?"
This is what happens when, after establishing political correctness as an ideology, a ruling class beset by this false misrepresentation of reality, try to apply strategy.
It doesn't work.
Among the highest and time-tested rule of warfare is the principle of adopting strategy to fit the battlefield, and adopting it quickly when conditions inevitably change in the course of battle.
A political party's platform or the "Best Practices" adopted by a committee of sociologists in a Quality Circle are unlikely to be of much use on a battlefield.
moslems working with moslems to bring back the madhi!
so they are forming a more coalition than what Obama can make.
Ah remember the good ole days when we had the left saying there was a cowboy in the white house who knew nothing but that cowboy could make coalition, keep mad muslims from expanding and acting up, and our allies respected us while our enemies feared us.?
I never go on loon left wing sites like DU , but I find it hard ot believe they can still defend obama after all these years, surely even they have woken up to seeing a clown in the white house.
Rather than Keystone cops, I would prefer to interpret the article as meaning that “the enemy of my enemy, is my friend”
That is, the disparate Syrian groups have chosen to put off killing each other until Assad is gone. Once that is accomplished they can deal with each other.
The hapless Obama might be a Keystone copish character but he seems out of the loop at present. With the incursion into Iraq and the capture of heavy weapons, the situation in Syria is drastically altered.
A spokesperson for the family of Steven Sotloff—the journalist gruesomely murdered by ISIL last week—accused "so-called moderate Syrian rebels" of helping the Islamic terrorist group to capture Sotloff in exchange for a cash payment.
Speaking for the Sotloffs, Barak Barfi—a friend of Sotloff and research fellow at the New America Foundation—told CNN's Anderson Cooper that "sources on the ground" had confirmed that moderate rebel groups were complicit in the crime.
Those would be John MeCain's "Moderate" friends.
If you can’t beat ‘em...join ‘em.
Pretty soon Nanny Pelosi will be wearing a burka with an ISIL logo and posing for “head” shots.
The US will get go to war in Syria, under one pretext or another, just like Iraq, and magically Assad will fall, and the Christian population of Syria will be wiped out. As it happened in Iraq, so it is planned for Syria.
It’s a step in the process of elimination all the Christians from the middle east.
What Obozo doesnt understand is that the “moderate Syrians” HATE the US more than they hate ISIS. They may not be head cutters, but they still grew up indoctrinated that we are the great Satan.
