Unfortunately, the bombs are driving more people TO the I.S., b. My gut tells me this isn't a blunted situation. It's a regroup and recruit.. They now have support all over. Libya, Afghanistan, Egypt, Europe, Asia...

Stay

....AND WASHINGTON IS ASLEEP! 

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Asleep or they have their hands tied. Either way the more innocent civilians we bomb the more radically charged the area gets. I thought about something this weekend. If Washington really believed that there were only 30k I.S. fighters, why the coordinated international billion dollar campaign?

*cough* bullshit *cough* that's why...

[mroped]

Why the billion dollar campaign? simple: politicians need to look busy, egos need to be satisfied, the general public needs to be assured and a few "small entrepreneurs"(read Northrop- Grumman and Halliburton!) need a new project so they can cover payrolls especially to the CEO
wouldn't be much easier and simpler if we would mind our own problems and not try to fix everybody's else's?

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Ah, the old "all about the oil" saw...

Can't change the past, and now it is our problem. China's military will be the equalizer. However, what I was getting at is that the I.S. is obviously a much larger and more powerful force than they want to report. If it was a "small force" two months of bombing would have wiped out the majority of the problem. Which it hasn't. In fact, the problem has only got worse. It makes me sick when I read this garbage about the tide turning.. What? Because the I.S. didn't take over all of Iraq and Syria in six months we should act like this is a non issue?

Ham being... pessimistic!?



There appears to be a resurgence of Taliban activity in Afghanistan as well.

That part of the world, well...

This ISIS thing is a weird animal. Technically, they don't exist. Practically they are all over.
from what I understand their scope was to recreate the "Great Caliphate of Persia" or something like that but there are very few that in fact want that. However they have the means to put the scare into people and make them help them. It is that easy to infiltrate the masses so they in fact became the masses so where in God's name is ISIS? Truth is that it makes my head spin just thinking about it. How do you actually fight something that doesn't exist? It is worse than Al-Qaeda.
easiest and best for US would be "pack up and return home" policy. 

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Well, our armies will be needed here in the future I'm sure mroped. What my point is, is that the I.S. and their supporters far outnumber official reports. As in, they enjoy broad support all over the globe and this "very few want it" narrative that plays out through Western media is BS.

LoL.. On the short term, yep. Again, I try to have a balanced approach to life.

The financial crisis we talked about at the beginning of the year is being compounded with the conflict that is flaring up.

Right now the market is cheering that Europe and China are going to stimulate. Stimulate what? Europe's banks are a black hole because they didn't take care of the economy 5-6 years ago. If it wasn't for illegal activities the EU would be in a recession again.

China has poured seven trillion down the drain into ghost cities, while trying to maintain their authoritarian ways - a strategy that has completely back fired on them.

Putin is a manic that is ripping off Hitlers playbook trying to restore an Empire - which he can't. All that he is accomplishing is destabilizing by weakening economies. Case and point, Syria. By not letting his allie Assad fall, he was able to keep the focus off what he was doing. So now Syria, Iraq, the Ukraine, and Russia are all crippled.

The mujahedeen - supported by Arab countries - doesn't give two toots about the state of affairs inside the territory they control. This is all part of the Arab's dream of bringing down Iran and having a united Arab peninsula so they can continue to press their wahhabist doctrine on global stage. I love how they have the media outlets convinced that all these different acronyms mean something, eh?

I know we talked about the Shitte/Sunni split a while back, Virg. At the time I thought the whole thing - war - would have been confined to the middle east. However, I failed to see just how insane Putin was.

All - in - all, I agree with ya. It's going to be interesting to see what's left in the eastern part of the world a decade from now. China's boarders could reach all the way to Europe, as these foolish stories about a China/Russia alliance are laughable.

Islam is going to collapse in on itself with the help of millions of Chinese troops.

I have little doubt that we are going to do exactly what we did during the first two wars . As in, rounding up people and sending them to camps. Only this time we will deport them.

Europe will have to be rebuilt - for a third time this century - more than likely.

In the end though; as I have stated since at least 2011 - humans walk better with two strong legs, so why can't the world? The Sino-American hegemony that will emerge from the ashes of this disaster will bring with it a global post war period akin to the 1950's USA. Just like after WW2 a new Israel was born, at the center of this Sino-American world will be the new Jerusalem.

Terror suspects in Charlie Hebdo massacre were on U.S. ‘no fly’ list
Counter-terrorism officials tell Yahoo News they had long viewed the brothers as a potential threat 

By Michael Isikoff

The two brothers wanted in the terror attack on a French weekly that killed 12 people Wednesday had long been viewed by U.S. officials as potential terror suspects, prompting them to be placed on a “no fly” list that banned them from boarding commercial aircraft into and out of the United States, U.S. counterterrorism sources told Yahoo News.

Cherif Kouachi, 32, and his brother, Said, 34, had both been entered into the U.S. government’s Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE) system — a classified master database with more than 1 million names of individuals suspected of possible terror ties.

But the sources said information about the Kouachis was viewed as serious enough for their names to be forwarded to the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center for entry onto a number of government watch lists. The Kouachis were then placed on the “no fly” list — the most restrictive of the lists, with about 47,000 names.

A person placed on that list is viewed as a “threat to civil aviation or national security,” a U.S. official said. The official declined to say precisely when the Kouachis were placed on the list other than that they had been on it “for years.”

U.S. officials also declined Thursday to say what information prompted the watch-listing. But, according to press reports, Cherif Kouachi came to the attention of French authorities as early as 2005 when he was arrested in connection with a case involving Farid Benyettou, a radical preacher who gave sermons calling for jihad in Iraq.
