from the face of the earth. Literally. I don't care how it's done, either. These fuckers are like the Nazis. NO amount of "tactful diplomacy" or "peaceful appeasement" will work with them. The ONLY thing that will work is brute force, sorry to say.

crossed the line with beheadings. But burning a human alive is way beyond the line.

but to lay down his life for his country.

The challenge is, of course, to accept the sacrifice of the pilot as heroic and meaningful, to commit to an act that does not merely avenge the cruelty of the killers but which brings that cruelty to an end.

In that way, the loyal pilot's lost life is made truly meaningful.

Take no prisoners. Kill them all.

They threw out any semblance of the conventions of war, the response must be total annihilation.

ISIS won't get away with this much longer, and were I the forces tasked with bringing them down, I wouldn't take a single prisoner.

Being Cheneyed was certainly the very real outcome of our response to 9/11.

We'd better not go into getting Cheneyed unless there is a plan to un-Cheney us afterwards.

I do know that those bastards are murdering people right and left for nothing and they
have to be stopped. If you think it's funny, good for you. Go back to your TV shows while
adults deal with the actual world.

I believe that you can use the that good gray matter for something more than secondarily sensing knee-jerking reflexes.

If we don't want to Cheney ourselves, again, then we've really got to avoid the influence of the bait held by one hand and resst being pushed by the otherhand.

Both hands serve the same master, and that master cares nothing for us.

A great nation, and a great cause can tolerate the stings of biting flies. An undisciplined nation will be driven into madness by the stings of biting flies.

They operate like the drug cartels in Mexico--the once that would kill people in the streets to intimidate the local people. They are criminals of the worst sort. I really hope that they are able to bring that "John" guy to whatever justice they can.

....that all the negotiations over the last week were just a show. I guess now we see why there was never any "proof of life" presented. On top of that, it has also been reported that Jordan was ready to trade three prisoners for the pilot, and MSNBC just reported that there are calls for immediate execution of those three prisoners.

All that notwithstanding, these ISIS animals must be destroyed, and NO mercy should be shown. Certainly God will show them no mercy when they meet their end.
