Iraq and ISIS Discussion

[Florida173]

I, for one, am absolutely shocked that senior officials would do something like this. It is unprecedented for people well removed from the ground to rework the intel coming off the battlefield in order to paint a rosy picture for the bosses. I mean, everyone just wants the truth, regardless of how that makes some high-ranking personnel look after they have contradictory statements. The facts have ALWAYS been what mattered most to the brass.

It's a policy and political thing.

No need to go to Iraq or Syria to meet IS-inspired terrorists. As seen recently, Europe is the perfect hotbed.

French intelligence fears Islamist 'missile strike on airliner' or 9/11-style attack

Army prepares for civil unrest as Islamist threat grows amid fears of September 11-style attack or missile strike on passenger airliner

Link: French intelligence fears Islamist 'missile strike on airliner' or 9/11-style attack

French security forces are bracing for the eventuality of civil unrest and fear there could be a missile strike on a passenger airliner or a September 11-style attack, according to sources close to French intelligence.

“Airlines have been warned of a possible attack on a plane with an anti-tank missile,” a source told The Telegraph. “But pilots are unsure how to take evasive action.”

After Friday’s thwarted attempt to massacre passengers on an Amsterdam-Paris train and a series of terrorist attacks and attempted killings in France this year, President François Hollande warned the nation to prepare for more violence, considered inevitable as the Islamist threat grows.

The army has made contingency plans for the “reappropriation of national territory”, meaning to win back control of neighbourhoods where the population become hostile to the security forces and where guns are easily obtainable, according to the source.

“There are a lot of alienated and angry fourth-generation immigrant kids in the suburbs and the prospect of radicalisation is increasingly likely,” the source said.

“The idea that attacks like the one on the train are carried out by individuals acting on their own is not credible. We’re dealing with highly-organised networks of militant Islamists embarked on a campaign of violence and determined to intensify it.”

Kalashnikov automatic rifles -- used by the train gunman and Islamist terrorists who killed 17 people in Paris in January -- and anti-tank missiles are now obtainable in France. Many were smuggled in from the former Yugoslavia after the Balkan wars in the 1990s. More weapons have come in from Libya, the sources said, adding that organised crime and terrorist groups were working together to procure them.

But surely the situation will improve after an estimated 800,000 people from Africa and the Middle East will arrive in Germany alone, just this year.

Feeling strain, Germany set to raise asylum-seeker forecast to 750,000

Oh, and those are only official government estimates, so an 'honest' estimate would blow those figures through the roof.

European socialists and the media are working overtime to make this all seem like some kind of wonderful 'cultural enrichment' though. You couldn't even make this shit up, it's just too ridiculous.

Another aspect to IS' legacy:
Here Are the Ancient Sites ISIS Has Damaged and Destroyed

The destruction is part of a propaganda campaign that includes videos of militants rampaging through Iraq's Mosul Museum with pickaxes and sledgehammers, and the dynamiting of centuries-old Christian and Muslim shrines.

Because, you know, no one would benefit from a bunch of old ricks and stuff, right? Bonus points for these douchebags:

The group claims the destruction of ancient sites is religiously motivated; Its militants have targeted well-known ancient sites along with more modern graves and shrines belonging to other Muslim sects, citing idol worship to justify their actions. At the same time, ISIS has used looting as a moneymaking venture to finance military operations.

Yeah, you can't have that stuff around because it doesn't mesh with your worldview....BUT you can make money from them so that's okay?

That really is a great loss to humanity.

The prime reason for migrations of this magnitude, is war. The last time was WW II (aka, the last big one we won).....just saying.

Then you'll love this angle:

At a Berlin church, Muslim refugees converting in droves

Like Zonoobi, most say true belief prompted their embrace of Christianity. But there's no overlooking the fact that the decision will also greatly boost their chances of winning asylum by allowing them to claim they would face persecution if sent home.

Some migrants shed true nationalities, claim to be Syrian in bid for asylum

A Pakistani identity card in the bushes, a Bangladeshi one in a cornfield. A torn Iraqi driver's license bearing the photo of a man with a Saddam-style moustache, another one with a scarfed woman displaying a shy smile. Documents scattered only meters from Serbia's border with Hungary provide evidence that many of the migrants flooding Europe to escape war or poverty are scrapping their true nationalities and likely assuming new ones, just as they enter the European Union. Many of those travellers believe that using a fake document -- or having none at all -- gives them a better of chance of receiving asylum in Germany and other western European states. That's because the surest route to asylum is to be a refugee from war and not an economic migrant fleeing poverty. That fact has led to a huge influx of people claiming to be Syrian.

The prime reason for migrations of this magnitude, is war. The last time was WW II (aka, the last big one we won).....just saying.

That may be the cause, but it's not a reason to take in millions of people who have no hope of integrating, and who will further ghetto-ize parts of Europe, not to mention drastically increase extremism and terrorism. We can't have hundreds of thousands of people swarming our borders like locusts (please see the video here: End Times: Europe crumbles under the devastating Impact of Mass Immigration ), yet that is exactly what's happening.

There has to be order. There has to be some kind of border control so we know who these people are. As you can see above, a lot of these people aren't even fleeing any kind of war -- they're only saying they're Syrian to get in. Genuine asylum seekers should be applying for asylum from our foreign embassies in safe countries like Turkey, where the verity of their claims can be taken into account, not by storming our beaches.

Europe is either on its way to total cultural suicide, or something that will end very violently.

I pretty much just copied the photo album's title without thinking too much about it. Haven't really gone back to ascertain exactly who they are, just thought it was interesting.

But regarding your post, Russian VDV (airborne troops) are also known for those blue striped tops.

Reminds me of these guys.

They might be standard issue for all Russian military. All I know is that they wore them in The Hunt for Red October. If I had to wear one I'd worry about a bullet in the thorax.

Kayla Mueller murdered by IS, says Yazidi former sex slave


US hostage Kayla Mueller was murdered by Islamic State militants, and not killed in a coalition airstrike as IS claims, according to a Yazidi woman who escaped after being held as a sex slave - one of thousands of women and girls enslaved by IS.


Two Yazidi eyewitnesses have also told the BBC that Ms Mueller was used by the IS leader himself as one of his personal sex slaves.


No surprise at all to me. Filthy pricks.

Too bad that came out, that won't help her parents sleep at night.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Agreed @poison - I have actually been trying to avoid stories on her - does not help when f-ing Daily Mail puts the ugly details in their headline and then say "disturbing details inside". A little late now, fuckers.

If anyone is interested, here is the story - LINK to story -

Media whores. I hate that shit.

Man, I would much rather be killed by accidental friendly fire, be it aerial or point blank in a rescue attempt, and I would prefer the same for any loved one of mine.

I hope that asshole gets captured by some kurds and enjoys a few weeks of special treatment.
