The latest kidnapping of innocent men, women and children because they were Christians by ISIS radicals is one more reason why they need to be exterminated. This 10th century barbarism has no place in today’s world. I’m not talking about reducing their fighting ability, or about rehabilitating their members captured on the battle field. I’m talking about total and complete extermination. There should be no where in the world for them to hide once it starts, they must all die.
When faced with Nazi zealots after the end of WWII we eliminated them either by killing them in combat or by a firing squad, either way they wound up taking an eternal dirt nap.
There is said to be about 40,000 ISIS radicals fighting in Syria, Iraq and in Libya. They are spreading. Obama’s disinformation that the bombing has severely impacted their ability to wage war is not true. The evidence is clear in that regard. We need to go after them with an all out military ferocity not seen in the last 70 years.
What possible reason is there for not waging all out war on ISIS? The gene pool would be a cleaner place if these Islamic radicals went away forever, Remember, this is an act of self preservation and self defense against killers trying to wipe you out – it’s okay to take them down. It’s not vengeance, although I’m sure that some of victims taking part in an ISIS extermination will have some degree of satisfaction, this is really about a common sense solution. Letting a group like ISIS survive is to risk their rebirth. Even if they are defeated on the battlefield letting some of them live will be a gave mistake that will cost innocent lives in the future.
We (meaning the world) need to send a clear and long lasting message to all thugs, terrorists, rabid zealots, who kill in the most barbaric and inhuman way that they have no place among us. They’re cowards and predators. They have minds too twisted and too dangerous to be allowed to live in society and we don’t have the time or resources to keep them in captivity for life.
What we are talking about here are the most vile of vile war crimes. They’ve shown no mercy and neither should we. Does this make us no different than them? Not all, unless you think that killing those trying to kill you is a bad thing? In that case we don’t need you in our way, you might as well go get your head chopped off by ISIS, because you’re useless to us, you’re an impediment to killing killers and defending the innocent.
ISIS’ fate has been sealed by their own acts of depravity, no further discussion is needed before we resolve to kill them…every single one, down to the last murdering zealot.
You need to calm down.
Libby, if I got anymore calmer I would be comatose. But, thanks for the suggestion.
One wonders what it will take to produce the will to make it happen…and to sustain the effort to the end.
I don’t expect it would happen under this administration or even under a Hillary administration. Both have ties to organizations with ties to terrorist sponsors and both are arrogant enough to think they have magical powers to transform people.
There are several Republican candidates that would be as dedicated as GWB was but it’s questionable whether the people and the media would support such an effort to completion. More likely many would not lend full support as they have not since Vietnam.
What will it take? It’s a question that bothers and baffles me. I question if a nuke in the heart of LA or NYC would even do it.
Libby you need to wake up!
I agree with Jack. I would be highly interested in wacking these sicko SOB’s if i was still in the Marines. I dont know where Libby is coming from, what is “calm down” supposed to mean? Jack sounds perfectly rational to me.
Sure ‘calm down’, I guess that as long as your not one of the 70 or so Christians recently kidnapped by Isis, then it is easy to stay calm.
Couple that along with where your head is stored and you are relativity safe from a terrorist beheading.

“Calm down” means that the Crusades were not effective in the 14th Century, and any such thing will not be effective now. I don’t suppose any of you read The Atlantic article?
Thought not.
Read it.
He does lean toward more “intervention” than we are currently doing, but that can be only one component of the “fight” … and … it’s going to be a long one.
So, if you don’t want to go stroking out, you need to calm down.
Libby, I appreciate you clarifying what “Calm down” means for Dan because I was confused too.
It’s arguable that the Crusades were not effective. From the history learning site: Though the Crusades lasted for many years, the actual amount of fighting was reasonably small. Of the 174 years of the Crusades, only 24 involved fighting and not all of the 24 years were spent fighting. Therefore, there was much to be made by trading with each other, despite trade embargoes issued by the Papacy. The above list gives an indication of how western Europe benefited. The Muslim world gained relatively less from the West, though certain Western items were new to them, i.e. linen and woolen cloth. Nevertheless, there were years when trade between the two sides was very good.
The Crusades had a major impact on the building of castles. Many large castles were built in Wales (such as Beaumaris, Conway and Caernarvon) by Edward I. He had been on a crusade and it is probable that he learned about castle improvements as a result of his experiences.
The Muslims built in a scientific manner utilizing concentricity and the area surrounding the castle was utilized for maximum strategic effect.
Historians such as E Wright believe that their approach influenced Edward and that is why the Welsh castles associated with Edward I were so well built. Some historians such as C Cairns believe that our castle building would have improved regardless of the influence of the Muslims simply as our knowledge about castle building increased. He is far from convinced as to their importance regarding castle development.
Algebra and alchemy (leading to advances in chemistry) were Muslim innovations, and of course Arabic numerals now form the basis of modern mathematics.
The crusades were expensive operations to run, and raising the necessary funds would have been impossible without creating governmental processes to assess and collect taxes: the forerunner of the taxation system now prevalent around the world.
Don’t obfuscate Jack. 700 years later it’s the Arabs and Jews squabbling over Palestine; the Christians having been largely routed, in any ruling capacity, some time back. That’s called failure.
And there’s another reason you need to read that Atlantic exploration … the ISIS policy toward Christians in the territory they hold in Syria, which they seem to be keeping to, is downright scriptural.
Ok, I’m having a glass of wine to calm me down before writing this.
I just heard James Clapper say, “When the final accounting is done, 2014 will have been the most lethal year for global terrorism in the 45 years such data has been compiled,” Clapper said, detailing thousands of attacks.
And then I heard John Kerry say, “We are actually living in a period of less daily threat to Americans and to people in the world than normally; less deaths, less violent deaths today, than through the last century,” Kerry said.
Could the head clown get his other clowns together and figure out what is going on so they’ll know how to deal with protecting Americans from terrorist.
On the other hand getting two completely different stories is great campaign material for 2016, because we all know the MSM isn’t going to cover it.
DNI Chief Contradicts Obama: Terror Threat is Expanding, 2014 Deadliest Year on Record:
“Obama last summer, “”[T]he truth of the matter is that for all the challenges we face, all the problems that we have, if you had to be — if you had to choose any moment to be born in human history, not knowing what your position was going to be, who you were going to be, you’d choose this time,” Obama said. “The world is less violent than it has ever been. It is healthier than it has ever been.”
According to an NBC/WSJ survey released in September 2014, 47 percent of Americans now feel less safe than they did before 9/11.”

Libby: “He does lean toward more “intervention” than we are currently doing, but that can be only one component of the “fight” … and … it’s going to be a long one.”
You really are something!
GWB said this would be a long fight that would last over several decades and administrations. He said it would be fought in many ways on many fronts…and it was under his leadership.
You refused to get on board then and acknowledge his many faceted plan or give him credit for forming a coalition force and gaining cooperation with allies in the region. You were absolutely unwilling to understand and consider his strategy. In fact you gleefully joined the radical left political detractors who lied about him “going it alone,” doing everything they could think of to work against him and our efforts to end this enemy.
Now you think you can preach the same message and nobody will notice the hypocrisy? It would be humorous if it weren’t for the very real world consequences that result from such political shenanigans. Six years after the success of the surge, we have lost much ground and created a bigger mess with the enemy spreading it’s reach across the world. Wasted lives and treasure with new expenses ahead and all because the left intellectuals refuse to give the other side any credit.
So far those leftists “intellectuals” have proven to be ineffective pretenders living in a make believe world.
