To me they are only what our govt. and the media makes out of them.
Which is why I said that we are being "trolled" into this.
Looks like from now on, if any group of people want to get internationally famous...just behead an American.
Then the U.S. military will attack you and you can start gaining popularity and new recruits.
Reality is...the entire ISIS "army" could be taken out in minutes by the U.S. military.
They are being built up into big bad monsters for public consumption.
Just like when we made Al Queda into something so scary.
They are all just a bunch of goat herders in the desert. And they have twice as many recruits now that we have acknowledged them.
I'm not even sure WHY we give a fuck about what they do. I guess it's more "pre-emptive" scariness for us all to be afraid of.
What the heck are we even DOING there anyway?
I thought the objective was to get rid of Sadaam Hussein. Well...as Bush would say: "Mission Accomplished".
But instead we sat there for 12 years "nation building".
And now we are going to re-engage to keep our country from looking stupid?
Too late! That ship sailed the minute we invaded a SOVEREIGN nation like Iraq in the first place (can you just smell the hypocrisy of Pres. Obama lecturing Russia?).
There is no reason for us to be there. No reason for us to be killing people there.
Let's see...before we "saved" Iraq, 99.9% of the population there lived normal lives. They could go to the store, Drive their cars. The hotels were safe. And to top it off....Hussein was a pretty "Western" kind of guy.
Now look at it.
And we are going to "save" them again?
At what point does the entire world finally get tired of the U.S. govt.'s bullshit?
