In reply to the discussion: Do you support military action against ISIS? [View all]sammythecat
(3,597 posts)56. This is the video I saw 3 or 4 weeks ago

It was produced and distributed by ISIS. Maybe it's the same one. It's an hour long. I don't know if it shows the murders you speak of because I had to stop watching after 10 minutes. I'd seen enough and couldn't take any more. It's just a sickening rampage of one goddamn murder after another.
I try to pay attention, but I'm no Mid-East scholar and it can get confusing as to who's good, who's bad, who's worse and who's the worst of all, but one thing that is clear is these guys are evil. As bad as it gets.
I have no idea what the long term solution is to all these problems, but right now, if we can stop them by bombing their artillery, then I'm all for it. They're religiously insane heartless murderers who want to impose Sharia law. Monsters out of a nightmare is what they are.

That's a sleazy cheap shot. I haven't heard you calling for an invasion of the Congo.

If Irbil falls to Jihadistan, the Iranians will invade former Iraq from the north.
