This specific cake has been being baked for half a decade now. When the history books are written, the greatest geo-political blunder of the 21st century won't be the invasion of Iraq. It'll be the support given to pro-Caliphate Islamic groups to overthrow regimes from Libya to Syria.
We’re gonna need some more hashtags...
What makes you think it was a blunder? Our political class was quite willing to sell the future of the non-political class, not to mention their grandchildren, for unimaginable wealth.
They don’t care if there is eternal darkness as long as they get their tropical islands today.
But getting rid of Saddam certainly set the wheels in motion.
I guess mass murder and atrocities are their initiation rite for the islamic state. Of course Hussein will say it's just "boys being boys" and if he has a son ....
I think they already did some time ago.
the sow pledges to the boar. in either case you have pigs.
Barry just did a fistpump and yelled, “YES!”.
Birds of a Feather, you know.
It’s all out of the same book.
If you want to know Islam, read it for yourself.
Boko Haram and ISIS are as Islamic as their prophet.
They are following his example.
He was the perfect man, they say.
Nigerian militant group Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to Islamic State (IS) [which is not really Islamic - TM, Barack Obama], according to an audio statement.
Sounds to me like they are looking for help. ????
One bunch of subhuman savages joins another.
Good job Obama. .
What ever happen to those 200 girls that were kidnapped by Boko Haram?
This is very bad. ISIS spreads its message through FORCE.
That means, that everywhere ISIS goes the goal is to wreak chaos. They take away everything everyone has through violence, murder, rape, and death. Then the local populations have no where else to turn but ISIS. When there is only one option for survival, ISIS grows. Take into account that many muslims actually believe in fundamental islam.
With kookoo harem joining them it just adds to their influence with other fundamentalist islamic groups. Looks like the plan to establish a new caliphate is going strong. All under the banner of ISIS, expect ISIS to gain more ground, become bigger, and execute bigger and more terrible terrorist attacks in the Middle East, and Europe. Because we all know that world leaders are not serious about taking care of this problem, or it would be taken care of months ago. Now it may be too late.
Think of this, if things spiral into insanity even more, then much of the Middle East will come together under the banner of ISIS is a disaster that cannot be allowed to come to fruition. At all cost. If to stop ISIS in Iraq, Syria, and now Lybia it takes all three countries becoming a glass parking lot irradiated for decades then that is the cost we have to pay. A terrorist state with 90% of the ME’s resources will bring the world to its knees. It will be fight or die. What happens when a country with nuclear weapons becomes sympathetic to ISIS and the caliphate?
Look for Damascus to be destroyed, soon. This is it folks. Likely not even 2 decades left.
What I do not understand is how leaders of Western civilizations don’t see the threat of a fully militarized fundamental islamic ME. It would be DISASTROUS. If Saudi Arabia fell to ISIS. The wackos certainly would not allow us to drill at home to support a survival war. ISIS certainly would shut off the oil, and we wouldn’t be able to fuel our armies. This is insanity.
Islam is a war plan.
Keep this in mind: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton opposed designating Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. They killed 11000 people in 2014 and have now pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.
That is what is known as UNFIT FOR COMMAND
