IRAQ NEEDS HELP (WARNING: GRAPHIC PIX)

[Duchess]

Heh. Thanks!

I found a site that's all ISIS, all the time and sometimes the terrorists post on it. That's where I found my last one.

[Duchess]

I found Jihadist Joe. He has a newborn son.

Sorry for the quality. I had to use a screen shot to capture the image.

[Duchess]

I think Joe is a wannabe. I'm moving on.

Oh boy. ISIS is threatening Putin now -

I haven't seen a direct response from Putin.

But his his ally - Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov (himself a Muslim) had some retaliatory threats of his own for IS.



He vowed that "these bastards" will be "destroyed."

Kadyrov, who has fought Islamic militants in his backyard for years, seemed to take special umbrage at a threat aimed at his patron in Moscow.

"I state with full responsibility that the one who had the idea to express a threat to Russia and say the name of the president of the country Vladimir Putin, will be destroyed, where he did it. I emphasize that they finish their days under the hot sun in Syria and Iraq, and in the first instant of death meet their eternal flames of Hell. Allahu Akbar!"

"I want to remind everyone who is planning something against our country, that Russia has worthy sons, ready to fulfill any order, wring the neck of any enemy in his own lair, wherever he may be. And we find ourselves with happiness ridding the world of these scum."

It would be nice if differences could be set aside to work towards the common goal of eliminating those muthas.

I've read that some of ISIS are petrified of being killed by a woman fighter. I've seen that reported quite a few times now and it makes me laugh every time.

I'm curious to know if it pisses ISIS off when they see themselves being mocked by others in the Middle East.

It's being reported that three senior members of ISIS have been killed in an airstrike in Iraq, this is according to security officials. How do they know for sure? I really don't understand how they can be so certain.

This morning I discovered that the last terrorist I found has had his account suspended too so I went looking for another one. Once I found him and clicked on his name the very first thing that popped up was pix of the last journalist being beheaded. Didn't mean to see that shit. As I scroll through all the Arabic I come across a post in English. He's says, "the blood of American civilians is not more precious than the blood of women & children of Muslims". I loathe to agree with a terrorist :(

My son is aircrew on the C-17 transport jet. He is in and out of the Middle East at least twice a month and told me about the Kurdish Peshmerga soldiers. I found an article about these women here.

Thanks for the link, Cheyne.

ISIS has now declared war on Twitter. Oh boy. They are threatening to kill Twitter employees who suspend/shut down their accounts and put out a call to arms to those who support them in the United States, basically told them to assassinate Twitter employees and specifically mentioned those in San Francisco.

President Obama will be holding a televised conference tomorrow night.

He's expected to address the nation in regards to a plan that includes continued U.S. air strikes, counter-terrorism actions, aid from other nations, and military training and assistance to moderates in Iraq and Syria.

Iraq announced its new government yesterday. This is something that Obama and other leaders have been pushing for months. It's believed by many that Iraqi PM Maliki's discriminatory policies in favor of Shiites overs Sunnis was a major contributing factor to IS's recruitment success and growing strength in the country. Hopefully, a more secular government can truly be established and will motivate more Iraqis to resist IS.

Should be an interesting national address on the eve of the 9 / 11 anniversary.

Obama's State of The Nation Address -- Fighting IS(IL) in Iraq

In last night's address, President Obama stated that IS(IL) is a terrorist organization, not representative of Islam or any religion.

He confirmed that Muslims by far account for the majority of those killed by IS and he touched upon the gratitude expressed by Christians and other religious minorities assisted by the US in recent weeks.

He confirmed that airstrikes will continue and that he is sending over 400 more troops to Iraq to aid the new Iraqi government and the Kurds in pushing back IS, also stating that it's up to the Iraqis to defend their own country and that they will be the ground fighters (the US will be training and assisting our Iraqi partners) -- he said the US has been successful using such a partnership strategy in Yemen and Somalia.

Obama highlighted the need for an international coalition to fight IS and other terrorist groups and indicated that the Arabs needed to be engaged and committed to the counter-terrorism efforts. He said that he's working with NATO and various world leaders in building a strong coalition.

He mentioned that he has the authority to act autonomously, but wants Congress' support and confirmed that humanitarian aid will continue to be provided by the US and allies to those displaced by IS in Iraq and Syria.

Obama touched upon the killings of American journalists Foley and Sokoloff and declared that the US will fight terrorists anywhere in the world when they are a threat to Americans, but that there is no solid intelligence indicating that IS has plans to attack the US at this time.

Nothing new really, but he did formalize some of his plan.

Here's a transcript of the address: http://www.npr.org/2014/09/10/347515100/...amic-state

It's really a difficult position to be in.

A coordinated effort with some of our allies would be nice.

If we could get Britain, France, Germany and Italy to participate in the air strikes it would be a very good thing.

I had to find another terrorist. Every time I get one Twitter is right behind me suspending their account. Today's terrorist says, "Happy 9/11" and "every American is a target". This one may be another wannabe, he has too much bluster and he's easily trolled to the point of losing his temper and becoming quite emotional.

James Foley's mother is blaming the United States for her son's death. She's pissed that the US didn't negotiate with the terrorists and angry because she was discouraged from trying to raise a ransom, she even went so far as to say she was threatened with prosecution if she tried to raise the money.

I have felt sorry for this woman and her family but lets be real. The United States didn't really owe Jim Foley anything, he had already been held hostage once and choose to return, that's on him. Everyone knows our policy is not to negotiate with terrorists and we certainly don't pay a ransom for those who have been kidnapped.

I didn't see her hold her son responsible for anything. Her & her husband begged him not to return there but he did anyway and now his death is the fault of the United States government? Bitch please.

First grief, then anger, then understanding. Natural progression.

Those savages have beheaded another person, a Brit this time -

Islamic State extremists have released a video showing the beheading of British captive David Haines.

The father-of-two, an aid worker, was abducted by militants in Syria last year and appeared at the end of a video showing the beheading of US journalist Steven Sotloff earlier this month.

The Foreign Office was working urgently tonight to verify the contents of the video, in which the hostage says he holds David Cameron and Britain's foreign policy responsible for his own execution.

The Prime Minister said: 'The murder of David Haines is an act of pure evil. My heart goes out to his family who have shown extraordinary courage and fortitude.

'We will do everything in our power to hunt down these murderers and ensure they face justice, however long it takes.'

[HairOfTheDog]

Not surprising, but very sad. RIP David Haines.

I read a report today that a large portion of the "moderate rebels" (whom Obama this week stated that the US would arm/support in to push back IS in Syria) recently agreed not to fight against IS and vice versa. They agreed to stop fighting each other in a deal brokered by the Al Nasrah terrorist faction and instead plan to focus on uniting to overthrow the Syrian government (which is fighting against an Islamic State and Sharia law in Syria). Any IS threat presented to those outside of Syria is not of concern to the rebels, according to the report.

At the same time, Saudia Arabia has agreed to Obama's request to host a training camp for the Syrian rebels who will supposedly fight IS (Saudi elites have long been rumored to be financing IS to overthrow Assad -- interesting).

Big web of shifting alliances. Messy shit, with no direct solution. On the plus side for Kerry and Obama, Haaretz is reporting that 10 Arab states have pledged to join the fight against IS.

I knew that ISIS wouldn't hesitate to kill children after reading about the child they cut in half. They are still doing it. They are snatching the kids from their parents arms and killing them. I just saw a little girl dressed in a pinafore & tights, I think she was about 6 or so, I'm not a good judge of that, they beheaded her in front of her father. He was holding up her headless body to the camera. Oh God.

Time to nuke the area until it glows.

These Islamic extremists remind me of cockroaches.

Unfortunately, cockroaches are about the only living thing that would survive a nuclear holocaust.
