ISIS beheads American journalist, Obama goes back on vacation

The journalist was there because he wanted to be there. It is a tragedy, but ISIS is responsible for his death. Not Obama. If a private individual, working for a private company voluntarily places him/herself in harm's way, they must know the odds. It's not the fault of the government if the worst happens.

KING: Senator Kerry did your -- did you committee on international operations and terrorism ever actually fear something like this?

"SEN. JOHN KERRY (R), MASSACHUSETTS: Absolutely. Absolutely.

....

"We have always known this could happen. We've warned about it. We've talked about it. I regret to say, as -- I served on the Intelligence Committee up until last year. I can remember after the bombings of the embassies, after TWA 800, we went through this flurry of activity, talking about it, but not really doing hard work of responding."

"Absolutely"!!!!

The ignorant SOB can't really believe that can they? I mean they don't want to spend any of their money to fight them over there. They want to borrow more money and then blame the poor for not paying enough in taxes! God Damn , I couldn't make this shit up.

In a free country, a man has the right to put himself in harms way in another country. That right is now trying to be twisted so we can raise taxes on the fucking poor to go and fight a war that folks on the far right do not want to personally pay for.

I am willing to take the rick that ISIS is not coming over here. In fact from a military standpoint , 9/11 was not much of a victory. The victory for them was all the money and lives we spent trying to make chickenhawks like yourself feel safe.

ChickenHawks....People that do not want to spend a dime of their money on war but are willing to send others overseas to fight and die in a war they will not spend a dime on.

As for the non-working poor, cut their benefits down to subsistence level so we can save money and motivate them to work at construction jobs at 10 bucks an hour and help out the Social Security and Medicare trust funds, and send the illegals and their mooching families back from whence they came.

Do not join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness. Do not follow a crowd to do evil; neither shall you testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice; neither shall you favour a poor man in his cause if it is not just.

I don't think some of you understand the impact of the establishment of a Caliphate has on the world.
The last real Caliphate ended nearly 800 years ago.



Look what they controlled in 1258.

The establishment of a caliphate to Muslims is as important as the second coming would be to Christians.

When the last caliphate ended it created the divide between Sunni's and Shia's. The first caliphate since the 13th century, if strong enough, could bring Sunni and Shia back together.

They have vowed that we will drown in our own blood. Are we not to take that seriously when we see them actually carrying out their threats. This is not the JV and it's not the block bully.

Hell, I don't WANT a war either but if we are going to have one because they come after us and we need to defend ourselves I'd rather we fight it on their turf with drones and trained soldiers than have them here forcing us to submit by beheading our women and children.

Again, I don't think that in the end we can win that war but we should try to keep them at bay as long as possible. Sticking our heads in the sand and saying they will never come here when we already have honor killings and attempts to gain acceptance of Sharia law in parts of the US is awfully naive.

Will it happen in our lifetime? Probably not but kicking the can down the road for the next generation to deal with and ignoring the possible consequences we are placing on them is just as irresponsible as kicking the fiscal can down the road. As I said in an earlier post we at least have some hope that the fiscal problems can be solved by recovery and or the coming inflation. When a people unite to kill and die in the name of Allah they will just keep coming.

If you think I'm overreacting or crying wolf then you simply don't understand the importance of the establishment of a caliphate. This is not Al - Qaeda or The Taliban.

Al - Qaeda is the JV compared to what Isis has intentions of doing.

They understand that an air war cost us very little compared to 100k troops on the ground. They will lose this type of conflict....just like they were losing in Syria. Some of you fuckers wanted to arm these bastards to over throw the Syrian government....Jesus, you guys need to learn the region.

I do not believe for one minute that ISIS is coming over here to start mass beheadings. Jesus H Christ we would wipe the ground in their blood, not ours.

While Bush was President, two journalists were beheaded in Iraq. Daniel Pearl (2002) and Nick Berg (2004).
