Dempsey: ISIS '€˜Will Eventually Collapse Under the Weight of Their Own Contradictions' |
2015-07-02 |
[PJ Media] Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey vowed today that ISIS "will eventually collapse under the weight of their own contradictions" -- with "a little help from coalition partners." Dempsey and Defense Secretary Ashton Carter were asked at a Pentagon press conference today about the Department of Homeland Security alert about the potential for an ISIS attack over the Fourth of July -- and whether ISIS has evolved into more of a threat against the homeland. 'Leading from behind' and seeing things as he wishes they were appears to be something of a contagion. |

#31 I like Russia because they kicked the communists out Because theirs was an inefficient and unprofitable form of totalitarianism? |

#29 he's willing to do their bidding, and not resign in protest - that's why he's there |

#26 In the current jargon Dempsey is a "Schlemiel" while Ashton Carter is a "Shliemazl". The writing is on the wall ! |

#24 I like Russia because they kicked the communists out. Whereas some other People are bending over & spreading for the Tranzis (who make communists look like pragmatists)---without a shoot being fired. |

#21 Someone has no doubt somewhere noted that the Communists generously prevented a Malthusian catastrophe by sacrificing so much of their own excess population. Something g(r)rom can add to his "Why I Luvs Russia" list. |

#20 Dempsey looks dead to me already. How old is that guy? |

#19 Methinks Dempsey believes in a 'false consciousness' - to quote a (in)famous 19th European utopia believer. |

#17 "The US will eventually collapse under the weight of our own ass-clown government". Our military is prioritized upon battling climate change, and integrating transgenders - and other similarly "vital" concerns. Shakespeare had it right: To see him shine so brisk and smell so sweet And talk so like a waiting-gentlewoman Of guns and drums and wounds,--God save the mark!-- ... This villanous salt-petre should be digg'd Out of the bowels of the harmless earth, Which many a good tall fellow had destroy'd So cowardly; and but for these vile guns, He would himself have been a soldier. Dempsey - what a fop: I'm sure that the ISIS leaders are quaking in their boots at this show of manly fortitude: https://youtu.be/NwWYrmjqkbM |

#16 Hoping that this mess will sort itself out is very piss poor policy. |

#12 Dempsey and the other Carter are just two fools that will cause a lot of people to be killed. |

#10 ISIS 'Will Eventually Collapse Under the Weight of Their Own Contradictions' You mean like the politically riddled Iraqi Army? |

#9 "Islam will soon collapse under the weight of it's own contradictions" has a better ring to it and encompasses the whole dirty story. |

#6 The problem is it functions like a pyramid scheme; as long as new people come into it faster than the ones already there get used up, it continues to grow. Kinda like cancer. |

#5 Islam has all those contradictions and it's still around after 1500 years. When does eventually come? |

#4 Just like the Nazi 'Thousand Year Reich' collapsed under .... Waitaminute! The Nazis had help to get their Reich to collapse... I wonder where the world would be today without the international collapse-the-Reich assistance program? |
