France bombs ISIS "capital"

[alan0269]

France had the balls to do what should have been done long ago...

If the west actually had any balls, Mecca would be a glass floored, self illuminating parking lot a long time ago.

The day that Frenchmen had more balls than Americans... smh.

[Zach O]

Way to late.

[alan0269]

Way to late.

Agreed. My concerns are:

1) It's only a matter of time before ISIS does something like they did in Paris in the U.S.

2) ISIS may be starting the third world war. They have insurgents in every country that are waiting for the word to strike, and they have the ability and mindset to do more damage than an enemy you can prepare for.

Totally disagree. A few bombing sorties by a select group of French military men/women hardly equates to the French as a whole being a more courageous people than Americans. I'll take our history of warfighting over the French history any day. Even in these modern times.

Sorry if it wasn't obvious that this was tongue-in-cheek.

Wasn't it Nostradamus who fortold of the "War to end all wars" would start in the Middle East?

Yup and pay attention folks:



The 3rd and final Anti-Christ

According to Nostradamus, the first two anti-Christs were extremely evil, and history has shown this to be so; however, Nostradamus speaks of a third anti-Christ who is more hideous than all the others combined.  Some have said Sadaam Hussein, the dictator from Iraq (proved false now), or even Osama Bin Laden. Could he be this evil tyrant?  Others say that he has not yet appeared.  What does Nostradamus say about this third anti-Christ?  First, Nostradamus tells us he will come from the Middle East.



Out of the country of Greater Arabia Shall be born a strong master of Mohammed,
He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban.
He will be the terror of mankind.
Never more horror.

Here, Nostradamus says that a man from Greater Arabia will lead his forces on an invasion through Europe.  This invasion will start a third world war that will be far worse than all the other wars put together.  When will all this take place? In one quatrain Nostradamus gives us an exact date in which the war will be well under way.
In the year 1999 and seven months
From the sky will come the great King of Terror.
He will bring back to life the King of the Mongols;
Before and after war reigns.

Nostradamus predicts  the war will begin shortly before the year 1999. It doesn't make much sense to this author, but many are now saying that the 'war' was set 'in motion' in 1999, and now after September 11th these things are going to come true... as we are now 'at war with terror.' Interpret it how you will.  He also tells us how long the war will last.

The war will last seven and twenty years. (so 27 years)   

Nostradamus says that the war will be so terrible that the world will come face to face with final annihilation.  Here, he implies that the war might involve some kind of horrible weapon, possibly nuclear.  Nostradamus tells what the first target will be.

The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city.

In this phrase, Nostradamus refers to a great city in the new world of America near forty-five degrees latitude.  Experts agree this could only be New York.  I know many of you are thinking of other websites that claim this means he predicted September 11th. Again, interpret it how you will. The sky did burn at 45 degrees, but New York was not destroyed, nor was it a nuclear attack.

By fire he will destroy their city,
A cold and cruel heart,
Blood will pour,
Mercy to none.

Although Nostradamus 's predictions for our future sound frightening, the accuracy and dates he gave do not seem to flow. Are they being misinterpreted, or are they just plain wrong? Is the New City at 45 degrees yet to be destroyed? He does give us some hope by telling us how this third world war will end.  He says it will end as a result of an unexpected alliance.

When those of the Northern Pole are united,
In the East will be great fear and dread...
One day the two great leaders will be friends;
Their great powers will be seen to grow.
The New Land will be at the height of its power:
To the man of blood the number is reported.

Again, the new land was a common term used by Nostradamus to refer to what we now call America.  The countries of the northern pole could be Russia and the United States.  We have recently seen the breakdown of Communism in Russia and an increasing friendship between Russia and the U.S.  Perhaps the two countries will work together against the source of evil.
The End of the World

Of course, not only have the "experts" on the prophets not always been correct - the seers themselves have not always been quite so accurate in their forecasts. Although people keep claiming that "it's the world will end" they often ignore other prophecies he wrote. Nostradamus NEVER said the world would end in 1666, 1999, 2012, 2096, or any of those years. In fact, he was quite clear we would survive through all of these other conflicts, and if we took it upon ourselves, we could change / prevent what was indeed going to happen.

Time will tell if the Iraq conflict or, indeed, the World Trade Center attack had put the spark to a bigger barrel. As for the end of the world... Nostradamus predicted it to be the year 3786 or 3797, depending on which Nostradamus expert you believe.

Conclusion

So, some of the historical events may have Nostradamus predicted were the war with Napoleon, the American Revolution, the Civil War, the rise and the fall of Hitler, events in the British monarchy such as the abdication of Edward VIII, and the assassinations of Lincoln and John and Robert Kennedy. He also predicted three reigns of terror by persons he named as ?antichrists?.

What Nostradamus did prophesy was that a great war would come sometime during the last five years of the 20th century, presaged by famine, drought and a series of other natural disasters. This war will last close to 30 years, after which there will be one thousand years of peace, or a new golden age. Nostradamus quatrains did not go beyond 3786 or  3797. According to a letter written to one of his sons, the seer claimed this is the year the world will end.

Michel de Nostradamus, gifted French physician and prophet, made and recorded over one thousand predictions during his lifetime. Of those, some say over half have come true. As the new millennium begins his published collections of quatrains have become more popular than ever as people look for answers and direction.

Pay attention to the red text.
Did Nostradamus predict the rise of Islam?

Whether or not you put any stock into "visionaries " such as him is your call. But the man was amazingly close on a lot of things that have occurred through history.

Don't forget the Bible: Gog and Magog anyone? Ezekiel 38? Daniel? Revelations?

All this shit about France bombing ISIS strongholds as retaliation is bullshit propaganda that everyone is sucking down like kool-aid.

France has been part of the *ongoing* bombing campaign against strategic targets in Syria - along with us, Canada, the Russians, etc. France isnt doinga damb thing different than they were doing last week - except the US gave up a couple of sorties to to French to help with publicity.

Smh = so much hate I believe.

If they want to send a message they should bomb every mosque and religious center to destroy morale.

and if it is know where command centers, training centers, Ammo depots, etc are at....uh why haven't they been obliterated already?

It's better publicity to bomb European "rappers".

[Bailey Guns]

I don't know. Are you privy to all military targets that have been hit lately? If so, enlighten me.

And if you think history is overrated and should be forgotten, then what difference would it make if any targets were struck?

[Zach O]

Agreed. My concerns are:

1) It's only a matter of time before ISIS does something like they did in Paris in the U.S.

2) ISIS may be starting the third world war. They have insurgents in every country that are waiting for the word to strike, and they have the ability and mindset to do more damage than an enemy you can prepare for.

That was the discussion at the dinner table tonight. They are planting "refugees" all over the place. It's only a matter of time. As long as people look away, nothing will change till its to late for us state side.

[Bailey Guns]

Is that "Jihadi John"? If so, are you saying it was a waste of time and/or resources to kill him? Are you saying it would be better military policy to bomb targets such as mosques and religious centers, whether enemy combatants are inside or not?

[HoneyBadger]

Ding ding ding!!! WINNER!!!

[kidicarus13]

I don't know. Are you privy to all military targets that have been hit lately? If so, enlighten me.
I know the US hasn't bombed Raqqi heavily enough. Are you privileged to the well known information that Raqqi is the ISIS "capital"? I dunno, seems like a good target to me. Thank you France,

And if you think history is overrated and should be forgotten, then what difference would it make if any targets were struck?

Your logic baffles me.

So is this a fight over who is more angry, or who is more angry for the correct reasons?

[kidicarus13]

I'm just as angry as everyone else that America is so touchy-feely when it comes to EVERYTHING including dealing with ISIS.

[Irving]

I know, and that's my point. Any time some tragedy occurs, there is always some argument on here about how the situation would best be handled between people/groups who 1) don't have anything to do with actually handling anything and, 2) know damn well they'd stand next to each other in a heartbeat if needed.

Exactly.
