Iraq and ISIS Discussion

Out of boredom I looked up Psaki's and Harf's bio's.

Psaki: William and Mary, and Obama acolyte and longtime spokesperson for various Democratic officials and candidates. She'll probably be the next White House Comm. Director.

Harf: MA from U of Virginia, former CIA analyst turned spokesperson. Another Obama acolyte from his 2012 campaign. She's currently Psaki's deputy.

A professional mouthpiece and an analyst turned professional mouthpiece. I doubt the GOP does any better, but this is our gov't. 'Merica.
 
Couldn't agree more! At the end of the day, they are all puppets who willingly do what their masters tell them to do or say. It will be the same regardless of which party is in power.

It's just always nicer when it's the party I think ought to be in power.;-):thumbsup:

They both have purdy mouths though.:die:
 
I thinik the gem of the article is this:
“I don’t think we have the means on the ground to generate adequate intelligence on where to go in Mosul, what to hit, where not to go,” said the retired three-star general. “I would think the first thing is you’ve got to develop a network of intelligence to be able to hit the right targets to set the conditions.”

Announcing it will force them to ratchet up preparations, which allows us to see and hear what they are doing. Beng so precise in the announcement....that's patently stupid. We'd have to suffer from serious delusions if we think 25,000 troops can jump on Mosul shouting "Surprise! Buttsex!"
 
This may put the mission extension at risk as well. There's supposed to be a debate in Parliament about it and I know the opposition doesn't have the stomach for casualties. We have a lot public support for the mission but I don't know if the masses have it in them for many repatriations.

Fuck. Bullets have never learned to tell the good guys from the bad guys and I'm willing to bet most of us have been touched by blue on blue at one time or another. Yes, RIP Sgt Doiron. Hand Salute...and hopefully your death will lead to better comm between friendlies so these incidents don't happen again.
 
Didn't see this one coming, did we?

Nigerian militant group Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to Islamic State (IS), according to an audio statement.

The message, which was not verified, was posted on Boko Haram's Twitter account and appeared to be by the group's leader, Abubakar Shekau...

...In the audio message posted on Saturday, the Boko Haram leader purportedly said: "We announce our allegiance to the Caliph... and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity."...

They're all just jumping on the bandwagon of the popular terrorist group du jour. Every lowlife POS wants to be the bully's friend...as long as the bully seems to be winning.

Yep...that's what losers do. They group together so that they can become bigger losers. In the end, they will use each other until they get tired of one another. ISIS doesn't appear -- at least to me -- to want to "seriously" play with others. They want what "they" want...when they want it...and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about it. They will let whoever wants to join in their games join...as long as they pay "their dues" to play.

That's it, fuck the Kurds and Iraq. The whole ME can rot in hell.

Peshmerga spokesman Halgurd Hekmat said a group of Canadian soldiers showed up unannounced Friday to the village of Bashiq, in Iraq’s Nineveh province near the militant-held city of Mosul. The area had seen heavy fighting against Islamic State militants the previous day.

“When they returned, the peshmerga asked them to identify themselves,” Hekmat told The Associated Press. “They answered in Arabic, that’s when peshmerga started shooting. It was their fault.”

Hekmat added that he doesn’t know why the Canadians were there. “I consider it an improper action by the Canadians and illogical,” he said.
