djf Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Do they have anti-aircraft capability? Hopefully the current air strikes will completely neuter them since most of their equipment is stolen and not easily replaced. Some of the images and videos going online are pure evil right up there with Khmer Rouge and Idi Amin. Horrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bindy Badgy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I didn't look. Before I do, what do you mean by "great video"? I switched it off after a few minutes. It showed one bloke about to be executed (video cut before the trigger was pulled) and a few heads mounted on posts. I'm sure it's very informative but I can do without having that stuff in my head. I hope the camera man has a very good therapist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way I see it too, these people are crazed, they're absolutely 100% committed to their cause, and they've given up absolutely everything to get behind it and will stop at nothing to achieve it, the brainwashing from such young ages is disturbing and these people are to be taken seriously, they're even talking about taking over Turkey in the video to turn the water supply back on, that would just be another country caught up in this sorry mess.

ArcticJambo Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Part one looks generic. Part two seems to focus on one group with little apparent support - extremist nutjobs who are not supported by the general populace is my guess ('reporting' is propaganda but unbeknowst to that group it's not helping them).

wibble Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Did I say that like? For anyone who has basic comprehension skills I would say it's pretty obvious I was referring to a terrorist attack from someone affiliated with ISIS. A group who wouldn't be anywhere near as powerful if we hadn't invaded Iraq and toppled Sadam Hussein or provided monetary and military support to Syrians fighting against the regime of Bashar al-Assad. If you'd disagree with any of that I'd be interested to know why. The west has made it very easy for Isis to recruit members from a population who has seen their country go from 'relatively' peaceful to utter chaos since the west got involved. Of course Saddam was a nutter and certain groups were persecuted, but under western occupation the life of a citizen would have been turned upside down. The civilian casualty numbers (250,000) would suggest that nearly everyone has lost family members. It takes a troubled mind to declare jihad and swear allegiance to the cause. Many of those troubled minds have been created as a direct consequence of the invasion of Iraq and the dabbling of the CIA etc in others countries business.

Sharpie Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I have commented before and will say again I knew that the U.S. would pay for leaving all those armaments in Iraq. I love the trained fighters abusing their tank doing wheelies, and the guy with the heavy machine gun firing it straight up in the air supposedly at a plane. The old priniple of what goes up must come down I am sure does prevail, I wonder if anyone ever gets hit by the falling shells. The one thing about getting old is you can always say Aye I have seen it all before. The fanatical adults telling the wee boys how brave they are going to be in victory, they don't seem to say but we may not win and you will all be deid, and in Glasgow trying to find a virgin never mind a a bunch of them. It would be good if they could see some film of Munich from 1936 to 1945, world beaters there also, Sadam Hussein and his media man,centuries of promises of glory to young men who only get wounds physical and mental, or death.

southcap Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 And yet strangely enough they still can't compete with the mexican drug cartels for savagery. There's videos of the mexicans flaying concious people, attacking them with chainsaws etc. Heads in public places are an every day occurrence. Although I'm not blaming USA, as they aren't the ones doing it, the carnage that the 'war on drugs' is causing is probably much worse than their 'war on terror' I know they mostly have good intentions but they just seem to make everything worse that they get involved in. I will always love and respect USA for putting a man on the moon alone, but they need to stick to that kind of thing and stop interfering with everyones else's business.

BigC Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 The trouble is though, like those Yazidis stranded on the mountain and surrounded by Isis, people expect America to intervene. There are undoubtedly problems with America policing the world and they have made some terrible mistakes due to a combination of anger after 9/11 and through protecting their own interests at the expense of others. But I think a neutral America would spawn more problems than an intervening America currently creates. As one American commentator suggested (I'm paraphrasing because I can't remember where I heard it).., "The world is fed up of America playing Whack-a-mole every time a problem appears because of the mess they leave behind. Obama seems increasingly reluctant to intervene, especially in the Middle East, so people telling the USA to mind it's own business may soon get to see the consequences of non-intervention whenever the next bunch of fanatics pops up. And it may well be that they will learn to be more careful what they wish for". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiewave Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The Coalition invasion is only a small part of it. The fundamental problem is the lack of a democratic multicultural government with the support of Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds. Saddam Hussein had more ability to govern the country, which he did through terror and genocide.Since sanctions didn't stop that, the "America have caused this" people should say what they would have done instead.
