forces on the ground are fighting Islamic State militants.

Militants? Sounds more like human-killing locusts.

That depressing revelation should concern military advisors who believe Iraqi forces defending Baghdad can hold out against an ISIS assault on Baghdad despite outnumbering the attackers by a reported six-to-one ratio.

If Baghdad is disrupted by Sunni ISIS and the Iraq mongrelized Govt. can't function, it allows Shiite Iran to step in and take over, if Iran is so inclined.-Tom

Screw Geneva. No captured ISIS, no POWs. Kill them all. Air strikes need to be using cluster munitions and napalm.

so I’m catching up on 24:Live Another Day and think the military should drop the pc bs and be as savage to IS as Jack was when he threw the Mommie jihadist out the window with her hands cuffed...

200 years from now, I want their children’s children’s children’s children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
“If you don’t behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you”,
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obesience.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful ‘Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers’ wickedness.

...relatives and neighbors were beheaded by [ISIS] militants, while another spoke of how he had seen ‘hundreds’ of decapitated corpses in the besieged town,”

Charming people...

Such has typified the aftermath of Islamic invasion since Emir Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi invaded Western Europe in the 8th Century. If not for Charles Martel, we’d all be speaking Arabic right now — if we were alive at all.
