Pentagon: Islamic State Burning Hostage Alive ‘Not The Act of a Winner’
freebeacon.com ^ | february 3, 2015

Posted on 02/03/2015 1:55:47 PM PST by lowbridge

The Islamic State released a barbaric video of the Jordanian pilot that was being held prisoner and was used as bargaining chip, burned alive.

Rear Adm. John Kirby held a press conference to address the situation and how the United States plans to respond.

-snip

“I can’t–there’s no way I could possibly figure out how to justify it in your brain because it’s so twisted,” Kirby said. “These aren’t the acts of a winner. They’re not winning.”

Rear Admiral John Kirby is a complete IDIOT. This is not about whether the islamic terrorist are winners or not. It is about EVIL.

We need a completely new government in this country, if we are to have chance to survive. This war is not about whether or not to have boots on the ground or not, or any of the other stupid expressions and infantile sports analogies. It is about EVIL, and it is about SURVIVAL. It is about the fight for Life and for Freedom.

The Rear Admiral always comes across as a deer caught in the headlights. I kinda feel for him, he has to have the worst job in the Navy, worse than cleaning heads. He has to cover for Obama and the regime....or he WILL find himself cleaning the heads.

"Not the act of a winner"....sounds like he's quoting Obama who undoubtedly said it more in sorrow than in anger.

What is this? He sounds like he’s taking his talking points from some elementary school’s anti-bullying, self-esteem curriculum.

“These aren’t the acts of a winner. They’re not winning.”

These are the words of an idiot. He has confused war with a game.

If he had CAJONES he would do what
United States Army General(Ret.) Stanley Allen McChrystal did!
The General called it a Duck!
If it acts, looks, talks and walks like a muslim then it probably is.

I know that being the DoD spokesman is a terrible job, and that RADM Kirby does a pretty good job, but the following statement is one that I never thought in my wildest imagination that I would hear.
Why not just stick your tongue out at them and call them sissies?

Fk them, their attitude, censorship and the camel they rode in on.

I make no distinction about Muslims.  Peacable, indifferent, co-conspirators and vile actors.

Islam is a disease and it won't be long before the world becomes the cure.

For the so called peacable Muslims, this is their problem to clean up if they truly want to be inclusive, accepting/accepted and live in peace amongst the whole human species, occupying the same planet.

They can work toward to solving the perception and reality problems and my guys don’t have to get killed trying to attrit them and remove any global religious ambitions they have.

Hindus have about 1.5 billion adherents and they don’t mess with us or anyone else.

“Nothing” from the 500 million Buddhists either.

But, Islam has been at war with the rest of humanity for 1,400 years and I am intolerant?

How so, jerk offs?

The Crusades? Christianities answer to Islam taking over the Holy Lands, Portugal and Spain.

Battle of Tours? Held Islam in check for its geographic expansion.

Queen Isabella finally, after three requests gave Christopher Columbus the money and ships to find an alternative route around The Silk Road, which was controlled by the Muslims.

In 1491 the Muslim hordes were finally removed from Europe and as a coming out party, looking for new wealth and worlds to expand the empire and trade, Chris went in search of that Alternative.

Thank God, he made a mistake and discovered America instead.

For the next 300 years, any expeditions for trade were held for ransom and the men carrying treasures, in search of revenues for their respective countries held as hostages.

Any country who sent ships into Muslim waters was taken and demand was made by the Barbary Pirates and Imams for “restitution”.

WTF were they willing to trade of value for anything we had of value? Nothing.

But, if you wanted to get your stuff across sea and then transported over land, you were going to pay heavily and the whole thing really was a lose/lose.

Now, on the day of inauguration for Thomas Jefferson he received a letter of demand for $1 million per year. Our men, treasures and ships would be given right of passage if the demand was met.

This demand was being given to every nation at that time.

Well, we had just smoked the worlds most powerful armed force and Jefferson was in no mood to be pushed around.

He sent a letter back saying we were coming and while the letter was in transport he directed the ships Enterprise and Constitution be built.

He sent those two ships to Tripoli, along with an Armada.

Without firing a shot Tripoli saw the wisdom of not engaging our ships and relented.

American then doesn’t hear a peep from Muslims until the Robert Kennedy assassination.

Around the time of Jimmy Carter Muslims are again on the rise, very much agitated and on the move around the world.

They overthrow the Shah of Iran and take our American Brothers and Sisters hostage.

Reagan comes into office and Iran must’ve got the message, as they released them freely.

For the last 35 years all we’ve heard is their belligerent Bull Shiite.

Over the last 15 I have heard over and over how they are “hurt” that we, the infidels, are in their lands.

Well, D***kheads. We made those lands, helped you explore, tried to set you up with modernity and you have been resisting the whole time.

Even now, I have idiot fellow Americans who think we should try to reason with them and understand them.

I don’t have any capacity to understand killers and will not waste time trying to break bread with them, while they are looking for the opportunity to break open my head.

Burning a man alive?  In the name of your Gawd?  Uhm, FK allah.

I make no apologies for my views. They are based on observable facts and an extraordinarily long period of religious intolerance, belligerence and outright desire to dominate the rest of us.

Watching in real time the events of the last 15 years ought to inform your conscience and reason should be the basis of your action.

Not some feigned emotion hoping the world will be any different than it currently is.

Those millions in Africa hacked to death for the glory of Allah? That’s a good thing right? Because a bunch of dead Christians is better than peace, the right of the individual to live, pursue happiness and improve the lot of their family.

Boko Haram is more important than 300 little girls? Well, you make sense more and more.

Al Qaeda’s observed acts, stated goals and roach like existence of glorifying death and a heaven that debases women, objectifies them and turns the idea of hope of eternal life into some macabre whorehouse. That idea is worth my respect? The hell it is.

And the latest franchise of ISIL/ISIS? Hacking the heads off reporters and the latest some Japanese guys. In addition to murdering women and children because they didn’t conform to their interpretation of Islam?

Oh yeah. I feel you man. They are beautiful people.

Christians in Iraq? Well, not anymore. The oldest churches, some nearly 2,000 years old have been destroyed.

Christians and their artifacts are now fairy tales in the so called “Cradle of Civilization”.

Sohhhh, FK you and and Islam...

The Admiral has been forced to eat several warm bowls of $hit in order to keep his rank, collect his paycheck and eventually realize his pension.

This guy Kirby is a full time candy-ass spokesperson. Since when do we need a uniformed officer holding daily press gaggles? And, it certainly appears that he’s also a propaganda peddler who is in the tank with this faux administration.

Whew! That was close.

At least he didn't call them something nasty, like losers.

These aren’t the acts of a winner.

I'm certain the pilot finds this comforting.

This guy is as nuts as Charlie Sheen, and not only that he's a soulless, unfeeling @$$ who is incapable of righteous anger.

Either that or he's saying what his boss tells him to say and he's too craven to resign out of conscience... he's capable of doing it without batting an eye, from his appearances on Megyn Kelly's show...

and he has the highest rank in the US Navy.

God help us.
