Trump calls ISIS fighters 'sneaky, dirty rats'

Source: The Hill

“They’re sneaky, dirty rats,” Trump told Fox News's Sean Hannity in an interview airing Thursday night. "These are bad people.”

“They blow people up in a shopping center, and they blow people up in a church,” Trump added of the radical Islamic terrorist group. "[They] are sick and demented, and we’re going to win.”

Trump said ISIS is particularly dangerous because it shuns conventional methods of warfare such as military identification. “We have evil that lurks around the corner without the uniforms,” he said. "The people we’re going against, they don’t wear uniforms.”

“When you’re fighting Germany and they had their uniforms and you’re fighting Japan and they had their uniforms and they had their flags on the plane and the whole thing — we are fighting sneaky rats right now,” Trump added, referencing World War II.

After all, in one week, he has wrought more destruction on the USA than they have done since they have been around. They certainly won't attack the gift that keeps on giving.

dressed in civies, fleeing after taking a few pot shots from behind trees at the british armies marching in formation in their bright uniforms?

it's ok when *we* did it. come out here and fight out in the open with bright visible targets on yourselves so we can very easily destroy you!

in any event, hey, it's much easier to criticize a tactic than to try to understand and do something about the complex geopolitics and socioeconomic motivators and predictors of asymmetric warfare....

Groups like ISIS are fighting for global jihadism, the annihilation of western civilization as we know it. Big difference.

time they fought the British during the American Revolution, then they would have been called the 1/4 hour Men, as opposed to the Minutemen. I guess our freedom was won being sneaky. What a tool!
