ISIS and the Taliban have declared war on each other. Our enemy killing our other enemy. Awesome!

Q: So who do we support?
A: Both sides, let them whack each other off.

Um, Sir..... phrasing... this is not an AF circle jerk. Well, maybe it kinda is, but still, phrasing matters.

Guessing you did not grow up in an Italian neighborhood?
Whack each other wasn't typically sexual, though you can think it is if'n ya want.

I don't think that means what you think it does.

When ISIS fights Pakistan do we all win?

Actually, I grew up with a lot of Italians.... thus the reminder of phrasing. Whacking somebody is one thing, what you said is something much different.

I love how the addition of one extra word in a sentence make a thread go from war and killing to gay and circle jerks in 2 posts. Is that a new record here? :-"

With this crew? Possible but unlikely...

Kinda, but we achieve Flawless Victory when they get their paws on Pakistan's unsecured nukes and realize CONPLAN Glass Parking Lot (preferrably with significant attrition to their own forces, an option they don't seem to have an issue with). But don't worry, somehow that will be our fault.

On a more serious note, I find it interesting that they're interested in Af-Pak region when their stated objective is on the other side of Iran. I wonder (just musing) if a) these are groups that decided to declare for ISIS and ISIS is just letting them, or if b) they see this as a target of opportunity. Iran and Central Asia are pretty well locked down on anything ideologically and politically opposed to their governments and ISIS has mostly ignored the region and told local supporters their to fight in Syria instead

It is a solid PR move by ISIS. Send one or two guys to rally disaffected Taliban to your flag. This allows you to lobby for more Jihadi Ducats* because your influence has spread. If you're not a "progressive" Taliban then ISIS will appeal to you so it is win-win for everyone but the TB and people of AfPak.

*Jihadi Ducats may not be an actual term, but a reflection of the money gained from wealthy Muslims who support extremist dick bags that need a JDAM Surprise for Christmas.

It is now.

I originally read that as Jihadi Ducatis.... and wondered how the hell they afforded them, then I read further....:wall::wall::wall:

It is now.

Other possibilities include "Allah Bucks", "Mecca Money", and "Dolla' al-Harb."

Make it raaaaaaain (JDAM's)!

Money from the sky... in the form of "smart" ordnance! Hell, we may as well drop Ducatis on them too... they'd hurt, and with partially full fuel tanks they 'splode pretty good too.

It supports their fatal profecy of the black flags coming from Khorasan. Similar to blowing up all the dams of the world while claiming flooding of biblical proportions.

My extremist Islam is better than your extremist Islam. And so it goes, since 700 AD. Pass the popcorn.

I've never heard of the Oslo Times. Are any more-familiar news outlets reporting this story?

It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it, as it only came on the scene in 2011. I have only quite recently become aware of its existence, myself. A Google search turns up that it was founded by an Afghan immigrant to Norway, one Hatef Mokhtar. A quick look at the organization's mission statement informed me that it was founded mainly to be a human rights online publication, with additional focus on freedom of the press, gender equality, caste equality (there's one you don't hear every day), etc. Hardly what I would call the Norwegian Breitbart equivalent.

My guess is that since this is a story coming from the founder's country of origin, it would make perfect sense that his organization would report on it. Not many others would report on it because, frankly, native born Europeans and their pet third world savages aren't getting killed wholesale, nor are American troops providing the appropriate bloody lede with which to make other politicians look bad. I wouldn't entirely write this source off just yet.

Thread hijack complete. And now, back to your regularly scheduled pontificating.
