...and don't forget our so-called "War on Crime, "War on Drugs," and the more recently declared "War on Terror." ALL complete jokes and talk -- no action, no results. After all these many years.
NO country or rag-tag "insurgent" is afraid of America nowadays, as it has become a PC/Paper Tiger YEARS ago. And a global joke militarily-speaking with empty tough-talk and outrageous "Rules of Engagement" to fight "humane wars" (an oxymoron). And sadly, Israel has become like us, also, too "PC civilized" and so never properly conducting OR finishing a military venture it starts.
ISIS is doing business the old fashioned, no-nonsense ancient/medieval way. How it SHOULD be done. No wonder they're successful. Plus, they are inspired/motivated by intense religious zeal (intense political/ideology zeal is the OTHER of the 2 Prime Motivators) AND not afraid to die -- like their enemies aren't & are, respectively.
Still, *I* take the "War on Crime" seriously, being armed out there on those mean streets -- even if the ones who started it (politicians) don't: So in a way, I'm a soldier in the War on Crime...and I must reasonably assume that if there is a "war" status, then in THIS so-called "War on Crime," then criminals must be (yes, they are) the "enemy." Makes sense to me. So if said "war" comes to me in a one-on-one encounter in some parking lot, side street, restaurant, car-jacking, home invasion or whatever, I do what soldiers do: Kill the enemy (just like my "other war" 44 years ago) -- no difference to me, but then that's probably just me.
Whatever, THAT's how you REALLY deal with crime...no muss, no fuss, no nonsense, no talk.
Just ACT, and act with decisive overwhelming violence to what you're getting.
That's what our military should do also: Once sent abroad to do a job, let the Dogs of War off their leashes to DO it. No interference from naïve, ignorant, pansy civilians (like the damn President -- and don't tolerate the same lack of spine in generals/admirals, either). And no care for "World Opinion" or "collateral damage" (contrary to popular but ignorant public belief, there are no "innocent civilians" in the concept of "Total War"). Then when the enemy has been annihilated -- and ONLY then -- the Dogs of War are put back on the leash. Until NEXT time.
That's how you do it. Get primitive. Annihilate the enemy AND all life supporting them. Wholesale. A country doing this EVERY TIME it is messed with will by sheer reputation deter many future attacks. For any future enemies NOT impressed or deterred, it doesn't matter: They just get the opportunity to die/seek martyrdom. Oblige them.
It's all so simple, really. Violence really DOES solve problems. Lethal violence solves them permanently.
I like permanent solutions to problems...but again, that's probably just me. ;-)
Soooo you would have no problems if your family was on the receiving end of such a policy?
Confusing post .. care to articulate?

So if said "war" comes to me in a one-on-one encounter in some parking lot, side street, restaurant, car-jacking, home invasion or whatever -- my very own personal "war" if you will -- I do what soldiers do: Kill the enemy (just like my "other war" 44 years ago). It's no difference to me -- war is war -- but then that's probably just me.
Whatever, THAT's how you REALLY deal with crime...no muss, no fuss, no nonsense, no talk. Just ACT, and act with decisive overwhelming violence to what you're getting. Annihilate the enemy. He starts it, you finish it. However you want.

Ruby Ridge, Waco, Trail of Tears, General Grant's scorched earth strategy of the South.
I refuse to address a puppet organization of about 3-4,000 members that has nothing to do with me and is being shoved down people's throats by the mainstream media. I'm damn sure not going to let said group affect my daily decision making, nor am I going to vocalize it.
Acknowledging this group legitimizes this group in my opinion. I OC all day every day and it has nothing to do with Haji.
Even if the beheading videos were real (which they are not, not the 2 released by this group anyway), in the game of chess do you bang your fists on the chessboard over the loss of a pawn?
Let's see if it takes our military another 10-year campaign to rid the Earth of this group of 3-4,000 that our own government helped create.
I believe your estimate is a bit low...
30,000 - 50,000 ~ The number of militants now fighting with the Islamic State, according to a recent estimate by Dr. Hisham al-Hashimi, an expert on the group. Many former Iraqi Army soldiers have been forced to join and others have been recruited from around the region and beyond.
13,000 ~ The number of square miles thought to be under Islamic State control, a stretch between Syria and Iraq that is roughly the size of Belgium. Other estimates suggest the Islamic State controls an area closer to 35,000 square miles, or roughly the size of Jordan.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/11/isis-iraq-numbers_n_5659239.html
this is not your every day run of the mill terrorist group and your denial the beheadings were not real is baffling since you have shown by your actions and words you accept other things at face value w/o video proof.
unfortunately, one of greatest fears within the Islamic community is the group will go after the holy cities, Mecca and Medina in the KSA.
I appreciate your perception to not legitimize or acknowledge this group since they are soooooo far away so I suppose it falls under your concept, out of sight out of mind, but it is reminiscent of a poem by,Martin Niemöller.
