Isis steps it up. I watched the propaganda video they put out burning the Jordanian pilot to death. I will link it here but be forewarned, it is gruesome. Can't imagine the pain and agony he went through. They justify their actions. Some support that.
I see Jordan has retaliated with an eye-for-an-eye type of response. Remains to be seen what goes on from that. Do savages really limit their future terror acts because of this or does it just escalate?
Good for the Jordanians. They are doing something. Our Government and the U.N. are impotent.

ISIS is a growing problem and needs to be dealt with. I read an article with a captive they had released and he was saying that they don't talk about religion or the Quran. They speak only of politics.
I don't know what the answer is...but complacency and rhetoric isn't getting anything productive done.
And yes, I saw the video earlier. And it is absolutely horrifying and shows how ISIS is escalating. Makes you wonder what all their victims have endured to face their end so stoically...

These guys offer absolutely 0 value to this world. They're a disease and need to be dealt with. You can burn them all. I don't particularly care.
I think Jordan's reaction was the best thing they could have done.
Hey Shane,
Was that article the one Yahoo posted yesterday saying how people are joining and then trying to get out and can't? I'll see if I can find the link. It's an interesting read.

Unfortunately, as a whole people don't want to acknowledge what needs to be done in order to stop these acts of violence from happening. It was better back when we didn't publicize what our military would do. People are better off knowing that there's "some people willing to do what's necessary" and leaving it at that without letting it play out in the media. There should be no embedded reporters. There shouldn't be any details of the operations and who did what. The civilian media has essentially put handcuffs on our military and how they can handle operations. A great example is to READ the book (not watch the movie) Lone Survivor. Marcus Lutrell really does a great analysis of how the media and politics effect operations in combat zones.
There is evil in the world. And it needs to be dealt with. Sadly sometimes you have to meet violence with violence and be willing to pay the price.
The world is a scary place indeed...and being a firefighter/paramedic I've seen my share of reality. I worry about the world my daughter is growing up in. It's not a great place.

I haven't read Lone Survivor but I did read American Sniper. Chris Kyle was extremely critical (rightfully so) of Washington's rules of engagement. It changed daily and almost hourly. You just can't give your guys on the ground that kind of instability and expect them to succeed. At this point, any place that houses ISIS needs to be made a parking lot. Capture those who try to flee and make an example out of them. When they make the decision to go over there and fight, they're immediately guilty of partaking in terrorist activities.
The sucky part is that you're not going to kill large swaths of ISIS militia without some innocent casualties.

And the article I found is here
It's an interesting read.

Evil personified.
Anyways, I do like the Jordanian's response..their outrage is similar to how American's felt after 9/11...I wish Obama would speak with such conviction against ISIS.
Clicks the link and watches...
That was freaking brutal.

Also I think the Iraq war was a mistake and has thrown off the "balance" of power that was in place. Now go ahead and give me hell for my post.
King Abdullah of Jordan quoted the movie Unforgiven as he advised members of the US congress on his plans for ISIS.
"California Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter told the Washington Examiner that the king quoted the scene where Eastwood's character announces his plan for retribution – a scene that climaxes with those words.
“He’s angry,” Mr. Hunter said of the king, the Examiner reported. “They’re starting more sorties tomorrow than they’ve ever had. They’re starting tomorrow. And he said, ‘The only problem we’re going to have is running out of fuel and bullets.’

It's been said before that sometimes to stop violence you need a bigger show of violence. This is one of those cases. I applaud the government of Jordan for acting swiftly in retaliation...but this is just the beginning. There's much to be done.
As for our president...I have to respect the position, not the man in it. I think from day one he's been an empty suit who's been more concerned with his own agenda than the greater good. More than once he's injected himself into matters that he shouldn't (Trayvon Martin, Ferguson, etc.) and remained silent on ones he shouldn't (Chris Kyle, military matters, etc.). What's scary is that not only did we "elect" (use the term loosely since the electoral college voting system renders the popular vote useless) him once, but made the mistake again.

Look, I hate ISIS as much as anyone and I want to see them destroyed. I think this latest murder is particularly appalling. But other than a few bombing runs which largely seem to mostly go wide of the mark; the reality is that we're not doing anything like all we could, both from the air and on the political scene. Why haven't we shut down their oil money? Why is it so hard to turn round to friendly Turkey and tell them to stop supporting ISIS through allowing the oil trade to operate across their border? I mean good god were talking about a known pipeline and convoys of trucks delivering it in plain sight, making ISIS several million dollars per day. In fact how do they even have oil in the first place? We should be able to identify and obliterate these places easily from the air - largely destroying them financially in an instant.
I won't watch this video, nor have I watched any of the videos before this.
I agree with Shane on this one.

The history books really need to reflect how terrible of a president Obama has been. Too bad they will probably omit most of it.
Accidental Nuclear Holocaust in the Middle East would be a nice headline to read someday.
