Syrian terrorists being trained by US

I know, Bonny.  It's a load of spin to make the Pres seem more on top of his game.  

No one should trust them and they are even outright saying that he is out of his depth.

Finally, people of all shades of opinion seem to be admitting Obama's incompetence/malice, Lily - not just non-moonbats.

I like James Woods, he's always worth reading...

So tiresome when some numbskull calls you _______phobic. Now I say, "I'm not PHOBIC about ______, it/they make me puke. Big difference."

He's right.  He is also a good actor with common sense.  What a surprise there....

Some very satisfying video of the Russian air force blowing up ISIS' fleet of oil tankers, ect:

That should cut down on their cavalcades across the desert.

ISIS Goes Full "Jackass", Tries To Shoot Down Russian Bomber With Pickup Truck Machine Gun

Quote:

Well, in the true spirit of ISIS buffoonery, we present the following classic video which appears to depict ISIS militants attempting to shoot down a Russian fighter jet using only a truck-mounted machine gun and a spotter who uses his thumbs to gauge the distance.

But perhaps the best part is the narrator. Or actually, the captions which frame the entire spectacle as though it were a terrorist episode of Jackass.

I like watching them get blown up by the Russians.

That is worth watching over and over.  Thanks Bonny.  

It's astounding how stupid the ISIS cannon fodder is, Lily. The higher-ups are a different matter, but the footsoldiers are idiots.

It is easy to see why they can be so easily indoctrinated.

Ah, of course!

Now you get a bigger part of the picture.

I'm not surprised.

I have a feeling there is no great military strategy behind this, Lily, people just want payback.

They do but, if there is no strategy then that would be a serious mistake?

I am sure the UK military will have a plan, Lily, it's the US that concerns me - and probably a lot of others. Obama is sending so many mixed messages he can't be trusted. And the likes of McCain have a lot of blood on their hands, from arming these scum and calling them 'moderates'.

An interesting read.

Very much so.

Islamic State has acknowledged the death of three field commanders as a result of Russian airstrikes in Syria's Aleppo province, Russia’s General Staff said.

"The militants have admitted the death of 'Abu Nurlbagasi', 'Muhammad ibn Khayrat' and 'Al-Okab' as a result of Russian airstrikes in the area of Aleppo,” Colonel General Andrey Kartapolov, General Staff spokesman, told journalists Thursday.

Militant commander “Ahmad Zia” was eliminated in an airstrike near the Jubb al Ahmar mountain, while another high-ranking terrorist, “Abu Bakr”, was buried on Wednesday after being killed by Russian bombs, he added.

The terrorists are suffering heavy losses in manpower as a result of Russian airstrikes, Kartapolov said.

"In order to conceal the true number of casualties, the evacuation of the dead and wounded militants is carried out in the dark,” the spokesman added. "According to our data, due to heavy losses and the inability to bury all of the eliminated terrorists in accordance with Islamic tradition, the commanders decided to dump the bodies of ordinary militants in sewage pits."

Sewage pits? How very appropriate - not exactly your 72 virgins, is it?

They sound like a load of sh*t bags. 

Can't be very good for the cannon fodders' morale, to know that after Russia - or whoever else they have annoyed - has finished bombing them to pieces, said pieces will be dumped in just about the most unclean place possible.

Especially as they have to be buried within 24 hours wherever possible.  

Well, they're getting recycled instead....

Meanwhile...



Good job Saudi Arabia isn't on the security council.....

In the middle of all the other mayhem, it's almost escaped notice that ISIS executed a Chinese national:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/19/islamic-state-hostage-killing-china-vows-justice-after-confirming-death

China has confirmed the murder of a Chinese hostage by Islamic State in Syria and promised to “bring to justice” those responsible.

In a brief statement, the foreign ministry expressed deep condolences to the family of the man who was “cruelly killed”, and confirmed his identity for the first time, naming him as Fan Jinghui.

According to the statement, the Chinese government made “all-out efforts to rescue” Fan after learning about his kidnapping.

“However, with no regard for human conscience and moral baseline, the terrorist organisation still carried out this cold-blooded and violent action,” the statement read.

“The Chinese government strongly condemns this inhuman action and will definitely hold the perpetrators accountable.”

Speaking in Manila, China’s president, Xi Jinping, strongly condemned the extremist group’s killing, and offered his condolences to Fan’s relatives.

“Terrorism is the enemy of all human beings,” he said. “China firmly opposes all kinds of terrorist ideology and will resolutely fight any criminal terrorist activity that challenges the baseline of humanity.”

They also killed a Norwegian, but Norway doesn't have aircraft carriers, heavy bombers, etc.
