Default American Freelance reporter beheaded by ISIS

And they have another captive American reporter, and will execute him if we don't stop bombing in Iraq. Sad to say they are going to kill him anyway, so I say an extra round of thousand pounders for ISIS is in order!

I think we should bring napalm out of retirement for those sumbags.

Start with Turkey, they equipped IS, trained them and supplied them. Like there will be no freedom and peace in Afghanistan without taking out Paklistan first, there will be no more stability in the region south of Turkey without taking out Turkey. Its no longer an ally. Its an enemy.

Hopefully he'll get to meet his 72 virgins very soon.

I wish that stolries like this simply would not get reported in Wetsenr media. Doing it and expressing how shocked this or that brightbrained poltiicans is to learnt he news, just rewards the primtzives conducting the deed, this is the purpsoe of terror.

Islamic forces already used terror during the crusades (as a matter of fact even before that, already at Muhammad'S lifetime, to blackmail resisting factions in North Africa and convince them into surrender without needing to fight every one of them when Islam'S conquest moved westward), sometimes executing their prisoners after a battle, even those of noble families, instead of trading them for gold as was common habit in those days, and although they could afford to hold them prisoner until then, logistically. The idea was to send Europoe a message: "what,m thes epori8nces and noble knights are the best you can come up with! Look what we do with them...!" Chop, chop, chop, chop... Wetsern people and self-deceiving Muslims will deny it, but terror methods always have been part of the tool pool of Islamic conquest, and already have been ordered and demanded by Muhammad himself. It's even somewhere in the Quran, in two of the Suras originating from the Medina era (which overrule those of the Mekka era, sicne they are "newer": the socalled abbrogation principle on which all major Islamic mainstream schools of meaning and importance have reached consensus already many centuries ago: in case of contradicting verses and Suras, those who came later and thus are "newer/younger" by date, shall overrule the older ones). The suras in the Koran are NOT sorted by date, so just comparing the page numbers leads nowhere.

You know it it wasn't for the danger of it i'd say dropping a can of Insta-Sun would solve this problem nicely.

Buckets of sunshine tend to cause as many problems as they solve in this day and age, one of the many reasons that only two have been dropped in anger.


Skybird has a point, the outrage and anger is exactly what IS wants from the west, it wants a war, it wants the US to bomb so it can encourage more young Muslims to join up to fight the Americans, and so on and so forth.
Still, not doing anything is not an option, so use of drones should be maximised, god help us if they actually manage to shoot down a US aircraft with a pilot in it, I think if I was the pilot I would not bother arming the ejector seat.

It appears that the militant who did the execution is from the UK!

Actually, it was the idiotic, stubborn, ill-conceived, ill-executed mess created by GW Bush's insistence on executing an unnecessary invasion of Iraq that caused all of this; he bungled and bumbled his way until he termed out and, in true GWB style, left it for someone else to sort out. He even "selected" al-Maliki as Prime Minister because al-Maliki would play ball with Bush and Bush's perceptions of US "interests" in Iraq (read: oil). The day Bush committed to a two-front war, he screwed up everything in the region...

To be fair, and in no way condoning the Iraq invasion, but I don't think that this stems entirely from the 2003 invasion, because there is at least the Syrian civil war to consider which was mostly caused by the Arab Spring which started on the other side of Africa to Iraq. Now there's no doubt that the destruction of Saddams cast iron grip on Iraq has greatly fractured the area and stirred up old sectarian problems, but I wouldn't say that it was the only cause.
I wonder, if Saddam was still in power, what he would have done in regards to Syria...given that Al Assads Alawites are Shi'ite, and Saddams Ba'athist views were Sunni, I wonder if Iraq would have invaded Syria in an attempt to overthrow Al'Assad and install a puppet regime. Al-Assad and Saddam were no friends, that's certain.

Not to worry Oberon, there are plenty of lowlife scumbags from the US fighting with ISIS too! In fact, OZ has warrants out on 2 scumbags from down under who were seen in photo's beheading Syrian soldiers! Plenty of riff raff from all over, sadly.
