ISIS coming to a town near you

[Robert]

I think one of the reasons we have been fanning it is because we don't actually WANT stable, free and autonomous societies in the middle east and central Asia. We don't want those things in Africa either. Fractured societies can't resist exploitation.

The bombing of densely populated Syrian cities has begun:

I love the smell of "collateral damage" in the morning.

US Jets over Syria, dropping bombs on cities = double plus good. Human rights, yadda, yadda.
Syrian jet strays half a mile into Israeli airspace = good reason to blow the pilot to pieces.

Well, you got to respect a country's sovereignty right?

Israel had no choice. That plane had been bombing the rebels in Syria that Israel supports.

Would love to know what the US is REALLY bombing in Syria.

I figured the two of you would cry over dead terrorists. How densely populated is the city after years of bloody war? And how many innocents would have died if ISIS strongholds weren't bombed? Probably more, a lot more actually.

And as for the Syrian pilots (there were two) blown to bits, they ejected and we're rescued at sea. But don't let facts stop you now, you never did before.

Because they ejected when they detected the missile heading for them not because Israel uses special missile technology that blows planes to bits but protects people.

I figured you would be cheer-leading the bombing of a foreign city by US war planes and the inevitable slaughter of innocents that will entail.

(And "cry over dead terrorists" is a nice bit of retro, Amiga.org-circa-2003 style chat.)

How densely populated is the city after years of bloody war?

Difficult to say but what the heck, let's flatten it anyway.
What's a dead baby or two here or there, as long as those filthy terr'ists get some?

And now refineries:

Will Obama be bombing ISIS air defences next?

You crying over dead terr'ist oil workers now?

In other news, the UK is to join in yet another glorious campaign of raining death from above, like the good poodles we are.

Civilian, women and children "terrorists" Mike:

The attacks on a series of oil installations around the town of Mayadeen, in the eastern province of Deir el-Zour, reportedly killed 19 people, including five civilians, believed to be women and children related to the 14 militants who died, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and local activist groups.

And the stereotype was supposed to be Americans don't do irony.

no, I want them to just kill each other hand to hand and leave the rest of us out of this idiocy

After about five days, the family was called by the morgue to retrieve her corpse, which bore signs of torture, the two people said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of fears for their safety.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... oh my GOD!! The Saudi Prince said "you don't simply create an Islamic state by chopping people's heads off and enforcing your opinion on them". The SAUDI PRINCE!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

 

[faethor]

Egads Saudi Prince - that's the method of creating every state. It's fairly rare that a nation says - yeah you're all a bunch of great guys so break away and have fun. Thanks for hanging out with us for a while. Don't forget to write.

Pres. Obama Has Bombed Seven Countries Since Accepting Nobel Peace Prize!!!

 

[metalman]

frankly, I hope members of ISIS have a big fight with the wacka-doodle evangelical Christians and they end up killing each other.

both groups are insane

Iraq says no to US boots on the ground.

The Iranian press is taking it all rather well.

"The mother of slain American journalist James Foley said she wasn’t necessarily surprised that the U.S. government threatened her family with prosecution should they raise money to pay her son’s ransom, but she was astounded by how such a devastating message was delivered."
