Well, gee fucken golly, ain't that a surprise.
It's like a bad fair ride you can't get off of.
Let me guess, we go into Syria hunting ISIS and ...ooops, just happened to topple the Syrian government in the process.

ISIS needs to be utterly destroyed as it is the perfect oppurtunity to repair the damage, caused by the Iraq war's failures, to the psychological fear of post-vietnam military hardware.
Our government is quite possibly quite incompetent. If they cannot see the physical reality of the capability to take over such massive swathes of territory by a ideologically fringe rebellion, what is their capability, relentless calculus, moral strategy (eg how far will they go to avert another world war? would they assisinate a they righlty should physical threats?) to prevent, at worst nuclear war or at the very least yet another utter catastraphic homocide of 50 million? Nothing but pats on the backs for victory on the backs of homocide.
The very fact that the same governments exist in continuity despite their catastrophic failure to prevent the homocide of 50 million one way or another, into the 21st century is an embarrassment to the human condition and introspection of the nature of government. Where is the "What went so wrong that WW2 happened" amendment to the constitution? Where is the introspection about such a catastrophe that should be permanently ingrained in world culture?
I don't know who is truly responsible for the relatively peaceful breakup of the Soviet Union and what I would imagine could have been a catastrophe of territorial proportions, but whoever it is they deserve the noble peace prize for atleast however long uranium takes to be inactive.
Anyway, I just don't understand how everything is so fucked. Do the people in charge not have any interest to correctly manipulate physical reality instead of dancing to a particular tune and patting themselves on the back? I mean, of what use was the rule if the road you followed brought you here?
That's not to say it's not really nice having the USG and obviously it's continuity is necessary, but one would expect them to be closer to perfection in effectiveness than this.
Journalist got beheaded today:
LiveLeak.com - ISIS beheading American James Wright Foley
Not as bad as those old school iraq beheading videos where you had to watch the guy hack through for like 2 minutes...Those were brutal.
Looks like they also have another US prisoner lined up.
Executor has a British accent.
Cutting off the heads of journos is about as low as it gets.
There is also some speculation that much of ISIS is comprised of troops we trained in Jordan to combat Syria and Assad, using primarily anti-tank weaponry.

It's the greatest business model of all time. We get to manufacture the weapons, give them to our soon to be enemies, then blow them up. All on tax-payer dime. Woot.
Ok, you can call me a paranoid nut for this one, but take a look at this video on CNN:
Former CIA Chief: ISIS will try to attack West - CNN.com
Start at 1:10. He says, "if it's not on Tuesday it will be at a time and place of their choosing". What's with the specific Tuesday reference? Is that a saying in the US I'm unfamiliar with, or something?
-General Wesley Clark"This is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran."
-FDRIn politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.
Well that didn't take long, they already figured out the guy that beheaded him
LiveLeak.com - British rapper identified as ISIL militant who beheaded James Foley
Looks like he is some shitty rapper
Scott you're scaring me, man.
Just another country gets destroyed to bits again.
I wonder how America doesnt even respond to thousands being killed in Palestine

Oh look, the US did invade Syria after all. Who would have thought?
