Iraq and ISIS Discussion

Sorry, but I wouldn't forget how many people were beheaded in front of me. I could see possibly not knowing how many rounds you have left in a magazine, but to forget how many people you saw beheaded is something completely different.
 
Mmmmmm, nothing like the taste of ocular-vaginal excretions from the glands of an estrogen-compromised faux alpha male.

In other words, that pussified goat rapist was crying like a little beeeyotch!!! Ten to one odds that he's an import from a Western nation.
And there wasn't even any bacon involved? Sheesh. :rolleyes:
 
Another beheading victim. :(

The mother of a Lebanese soldier held captive by the militant Islamic State group said photographs posted online Saturday purporting to show his beheading appeared to be real.
Zeinab Noun said her 20-year-old son, Abbas Medlej, was "sacrificed" after supporters of the militant Sunni group posted images appearing to show a captured Lebanese soldier before and after he was beheaded.

"My son was sacrificed," said Noun, clutching a passport-sized photo of her son, a handsome, smooth-faced young man.

Medlej's maternal uncle, Abu Ali Noun, also said the photographs appeared to be of his nephew. A spokesman for Lebanon's military said it was still investigating the incident.

Medlej would be the second captive Lebanese soldier killed by the Islamic State group, underscoring the grave challenges that face the ill-equipped Lebanese military as it fends off an unprecedented jihadi threat from Syria-based militants.
 
The Aussies are number one in foreigners in ISIS in terms of per capita.

Well...:rolleyes: depends on what we mean by Aussies...

These pieces of shit who are finding their way over to Syria from the US/UK/Australia etc, aren't really worthy of the citizenship designation. Hopefully, most if not all will be exterminated and will never return to the countries they betrayed.
 
These guys apparently are itching to get their virgins:

Although it kind of makes for an interesting moral dilemma. Should we hope that ISIS weakens Putin and his increasing influence or should we root for Putin to continues to put down his own internal rebellion? Hmmm. Pick your poison.

Also read Robert Scales recent opinion piece...still noodling on it, even though it's not necessarily a revolutionary thought:

ISIL weaken Putin? I don't think so, Blizzard. Piss him off, maybe. Their threats of airstikes are ludicrous.

As far as the Scales piece goes, with all due respect to the Gen., I think he's enamored of SOF doctrine at the expense of reality. When you put water in the whiskey you don't get more whiskey, you get more water. The beauty of SOF is that it doesn't need to be big. And our "conventional" forces are extremely capable and well-equipped.

I think there's a tendency by the media to overrate the military prowess of ISIL based on their brutality, hype and success. If these fuckers ever come up against REAL soldiers, they will die.
 
GEN Scales lost me when he touted the "Great Wheel" movement. The article went down hill from there.
 
I was talking with another Marine who I served with in Iraq about all of this. I don't want us to go back. Part of me, the warrior part, does want to go back and just wipe them all out. Eradication.
 
... I don't want us to go back. Part of me, the warrior part, does want to go back and just wipe them all out. Eradication.

The "warrior part" in all of us would gleefully kill these motherfuckers. But we won't go back. Whatever we do will be limited. The VA has it's hands full of burn injuries, blast injuries, TBI, spinal chord injuries, amputees...all acquired in the attempt to decapitate Saddam's regime and stabilize the madness that followed. You and your brother and sister OIF veterans did enough for the Iraqi people. Someday, maybe while you're still living, those people will thank you for it. But don't hold your breath.

I'm happy if we bomb the fuck out of them for the next three years. We've got plenty of bombs. When we run out, we can make more.
 
Tonight the President is expected to announce a ten country group that is going to confront ISIS. Whether that is just air strikes or elements of SOF forces on the ground, I do not know.

One country that is actively involved but he won't mention is Iran. Iran is a double edged sword in this all. On one hand, they will help us kill ISIS, meanwhile on the other hand they will help kill any and all US service members as they did during the Iraq War given the chance.
 
Citizens of ours and our allies being killed is never a good thing.. but getting involved in a war that has been going on for a long time is retarded. Now all of a sudden we are on the side of Iran? We've been at war with them since '79. This is way more complicated than going in and fighting a terrorist organization and more like going in and killing Sunnis that were mobilized in a common cause to remove Iran's influence in Iraq. Of course you have your psychos that are better off dead, but bottom line is that if I am a Sunni in any of these cities that ISIL is coming through, I'm not going to worry and just stay out of their way.

And the Sunni Kurds are only as much of our allies as it's in their best interest. They could have just as easily gone the other way to support the Sunni Arabs if it looked like they had a fighting chance.
