Daesh has a new copy of their new magazine out, calling for attacks against all Shia. Guess they hate everyone,lol Its ok as far as they are concerned to kill other Muslims like the Shia. Had to laugh at this pic from the articles page!

I think someone here already voiced this concern. Looking forward to February's vote to see how it all pans out.

Where is the opportunity in this mess.
Originator of the quote by the way is not Kennedy, Richard Wilhelm decades before him, translator of the first authentic portation of the I Ching into a Western language - which happened to be not English, but German. Just btw, since I appreciate the I Ging's value as a tool of self-reflection.

A State of Emergency is always a good opportunity to pass laws to restrict the freedom of people under the auspices of fighting against terrorism. Look at the PATRIOT Act.
I had a horrid feeling in the aftermath of Paris that something like this might happen. |

The FBI basically says there are not more then 100 Americans fighting with the Kurds against Daesh. The two men they talk about in this article, one is an Army Vet (40 years old) who is still fighting there. Before he left to go over there, he was interviewed by the FBI as to what his intent was. Upon learning what he wanted to do, they let him go over there. He faces no criminal charges when he returns.
The other guy was a 29 year old Marine. He had served in Iraq before, and wanted to go join the fight and to see where some of his friends had fought and died at. He also was interviewed by the FBI before he left, and was allowed to go. He was there fighting for a short time, then returned home. He faces no criminal charges. As the article states, they frown on Americans fighting in a foreign army, but as long as it isn't an enemy of the US, they don't try to punish them for it or stop them from doing so. Unless they commit a criminal act during their service with this foreign army, not much they can do I guess.

Oh I am sure they get debriefed when they get back. Both mentioned the unreliability of some of the weapons they were given by the Kurds. The AK's worked ok, but the grenades were another matter. The 40 year old vet said you never knew if they would go off! not a good thing when the fighting is close quarters.
I'm sure there are guns for hire fighting there too, you know the old Soldiers of Fortune types.

Libya's recognized parliament rejects U.N.-backed unity government
Reuters: "Since 2014, Libya has had two competing parliaments and governments, one based in Tripoli and the other in the east. Both are backed by loose alliances of armed groups and former rebels who helped topple Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Western powers hope a unity government will deliver stability and be able to tackle a growing threat from Islamic State militants. Libya's internationally recognized parliament voted on Monday to reject a unity government proposed under a United Nations-backed plan to resolve the country's political crisis and armed conflict. Though not a surprise, the rejection was a setback in efforts to heal Libya's deep divides. Of 104 members who attended the session in the eastern city of Tobruk, 89 voted against an administration nominated last week, demanding a new proposal within 10 days." |
