File under: Islamic State

#1 A senior B.O. regime official said Thursday that the US wanted to establish a credible ground force in Syria by training more moderate rebels before taking military action there.

They don't learn, do they?

#2 I think they should be allowed to fight it out a bit longer.

#3 get serious about arming the mainstream Western-backed rebels

Both of them?

I mean, seriously, is there any group in Syria that isn't predominantly a Muzzie terror group?

#4 Methinks Washington spends too much time trying to distinguish between various terrorist groups by asking questions such as "Is ISIS more evil than AQ, etc?" Seems like a waste of time. The terrorists may distinguish between Sunni and Shia but they all seem to be united in their hatred of the West--particularly Israel and the U.S.

#5 'Moderate' rebels = 'Good' Nazis?

(With apologies to Godwin's law)

#6 Think Berlin bombing, think fire bombing Tokyo, think Leipzig, for goodness sakes, will someone teach our leaders about total war??? Who gives a damn about the people of Syria? We are so worried about the poor little muzzies in muzzieland that we are willing to allow out nation to fall as to not hurt one puppy.

#7 That, however, is far more complicated No its not, it is very simple. They all want us dead, every leader in Syria wants to see the US fall. We have to get over our 10=960's everyone needs a hug crap and burn their cities to the ground.
