#2 Daesh - n. noun. de-eesh'
1. Politically correct word developed by the 'Public Relations, Optics, Leaks, and Technical Intelligence (PROPHYLACTIC)' section of the Obama regime to describe the terrorist group the Islamic State of Iraq, without actually using the phrase 'Islamic terrorist group.'
2. The word Daesh is seldom used by anyone not suffering from denial. Generally used only by regime lickspittals and yes-men.
3. Also referred to as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)

#5 So the government wants to give nutcases firearms and take away those of law abiding citizens at home. What could go wrong?

How about letting both sides kill each other until both sides are exhausted or gone?

#6 Our nation is being run (into the ground) by self-hating idiots. Think we can survive until January '17? With a Muslim Rep. running our house intelligence committee? By looking for moderate Muslim allies in Syria?
