File under: Islamic State

#1 ( As long as Kerry himself doesn't have to go ). I am sure the Moslems who are Kerry's friends will really put their hearts into fighting for what's right.

Who are we to judge Moslem values, after all?

Moslems, the world over, do wonderfully well in combat against people who are tied up, or old and helpless ( wheelchairs are best )...or women and children or naked people down in a hole already. If you don't have any weapons and are blindfolded...Moslems tend to be killer heroes. Allah Akbar all round.

But against actually armed soldiers ?...meh...Baghdad Bob all round.

#2 "All sorts of people are lining up, offering to help the U.S."

What sort of countries are lining up?

"All sorts of people. They just want to remain anonymous in case Champ folds."

#4 IMO, its make sense for Jordon, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, UAE, IRAQ, Turkey to have "boots on the ground" to deal with ISIL. They stand to benefit the most. We carry the water all too often for everyone else in the M.E. with little return.

#5 Not to sound like a Missourian;

Oh, so you all say that this region occupied by people calling themselves Islamic State really is not representative of Islam? and something should be done about that?

Show me.

Because I don't think Anabasis II, starring weepy media, rules of engagement, and duffy the handicap slayer, sounds like a good flick.
