Hope this isn't a dupe. It popped up on my homepage newsfeed an hour ago.
This sounds really bad.

ISIL a threat to U.S. and Europe.

Given that President Obama has placed sharp limits on U.S. airstrikes and confined them to Iraq, that effectively makes Baghdadi and his top deputies — almost all of whom were once in U.S. custody — off-limits to U.S. military action.



Why the fuck am I not surprised by this?

They grabbed a lot of the weapons we left for the Iraquis including tanks. They blew the prison open and freed a lot of Taliban including some Iraquis we trained that turned on us. They are better equipped and trained than any other terrotist group has been. They took over an area obama placed off limits for air strikes. Remember how that worked before? I had friends who flew in Viet Nam.
Apparently there is already talk that they plan on starting a Caliphate and are planning on spreading into Europe and here.

You should worry allot about it.  After all the more you worry about it, the less of a threat they will become.  You know this to be true because you have worried about all the threats ever reviled  to you in the news since the bay of pigs and pretty much NONE of them has affected you, right?  

Good job.  And keep worrying.

I wish they would do something here soon that might wake up most lazy assed Americans that are too smug to think we could have people who hate us right in our own back yards.

Well they've got the pope worried.  And if God's right hand man here on Earth thinks this scum needs to be dealt with, I'd bet that should these animals make it into Europe, the next round of crusades will get started.

You know, my wife and I have talked about this...living with killing a kid in some sort of bad situation, and I look at it this way...I could not live with it...but even worse would be knowing that I failed to protect my wife from the worst of humanity.

 






I may end up in an asylum, or emotionally wrecked, or unable to function...but that pales in comparison to entering eternity knowing I failed my wife.







To further answer...I have no idea how I'd respond to something bad happening...shock, disbelief,a hit my pants, run, or stand and fight...I don't know...I hope I somehow manage to do all of it, and live through it.

Here's a scenario my buddy and I were talking about. It seems they have a shit ton of money from financial backers. What if those money men were to charter a plane and land in Iraq at the airport. Load it with 300 fighters and their battle load ( at general aviation hangar may get through without security checks ). Then fly legally to an airport in a major city of another country. They all unload and easily lay waste to the airport and possibly break out onto the streets. Who could stop them as long as their flight goes as planned ? I know it sounds crazy and far fetched but hey, anything can happen.

Is he independently wealthy, or anything like that?

Obviously he has something that made everybody in IS accept him as Caliph. I doubt it's because he's "most devout".

He command a more skilled group of fighters under AQI or something?

ETA: His wikipedia page had a lot more information that I thought it would.

That said, his combat history seems lacking.

Most aren't like that. There I believe 1.7 billion Muslims in the world most in the USA and then Saudia Arabia. Out of those only 30 - 33 million are estimated to be extremists.

The Saudis are the big financial backers though. I have never understood that. They are our "allies" but backed Osama and Al Quada, among others.

They're not "America's" allies, they're the allies of very small portion of Americans with power and influence.

Here's a scenario my buddy and I were talking about. It seems they have a shit ton of money from financial backers. What if those money men were to charter a plane and land in Iraq at the airport. Load it with 300 fighters and their battle load ( at general aviation hangar may get through without security checks ). Then fly legally to an airport in a major city of another country. They all unload and easily lay waste to the airport and possibly break out onto the streets. Who could stop them as long as their flight goes as planned ? I know it sounds crazy and far fetched but hey, anything can happen.

ISIS/ISIL is a gift.

It means that fuckhead jihadis in the Middle East are too busy murdering each other to take up arms against the "evil" West.

Let them murder each other and finish off whatever is left alive.

You know how I know your an idiot?

Go and fight them yourself, then.


Patience grasshopper.

Quoted:


Is he independently wealthy, or anything like that?

Obviously he has something that made everybody in IS accept him as Caliph. I doubt it's because he's "most devout".

He command a more skilled group of fighters under AQI or something?

ETA: His wikipedia page had a lot more information that I thought it would.

That said, his combat history seems lacking.

What's the take on Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi?

I'd never heard of him until IS designated him as Caliph. What's his history?


Iraqi by birth.
US had him in custody around 2004 (?) and let him go.
Has a phd or something in Islamic studies. Not surprising.




Isn't that what about 80%+ of their graduates major in? I don't think they have many engineers, etc.

He was a cleric in Iraq and with his phd he is probably just really politically motivated and a natural leader to most of those uneducated camel jockeys.
Combat experience is not a prerequisite for leading a religious ideology. Just so happens it's a violent one whose followers believe in using the sword to accomplish their goals.
