I haven't noticed a lack of air support or fire support for Israeli forces recently.

I'm still wondering why it took so long. I mean i know the POTUS is homeboys with ISIS.

Maybe he scored some quality "choom" the last time he swung through Colorado extorting raising funds and it took him this long to realize there was something happening in the world ...

So just thinking out loud here... Before this, have we had any involvement with ISIS? I mean they had no reason to attack us at all until today right? They were busy waging their holy war in their local sandbox, but now with them being fairly well funded and growing quickly, I have to think we are now on their radar. I don't think Osama and his boys were ever as large or as well funded as these guys. Now what is to stop them from walking across our border down south and using 9/11 as their blueprint for more stuff like that? I don't see them attacking us as soldiers but attacking us from within, sure.

At least we gave those guys on the mountain in Iraq another few days to live over there.

We're talking about the same guys who said they would not stop until the ISIS flag flew over the White House right?

We shoulda whacked those fckers from the air with extreme prejudice when they started moving into Iraq.

Right, no offense to the Navy, but we need B-52 Arclight raids.

Did not know that, have source?

Not saying they wouldn't get to us eventually but from what i've read the US didn't seem to be in their sights yet.

I just think if you are going to do something you go all or none. No one sticks their finger in s hornets nest to smash one or two hornets. You destroy the whole thing or you don't touch it.

Oh come on.
Are there still people who believe muslims won't attack the US if we leave them alone?
I suppose history is not for everyone.

“I say to America that the Islamic Caliphate has been established,” Abu Mosa, a spokesman for the terror group known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), told VICE Media in a video interview posted online Thursday. “Don’t be cowards and attack us with drones. Instead send your soldiers, the ones we humiliated in Iraq.”


“We will humiliate them everywhere, God willing, and we will raise the flag of Allah in the White House,” he added.
