Instead of Jordan executing the ISIS prisoners which is wrong...

they need to hunt down ISIS and destroy them.


I'm sure with U S weapons and intelligence they can make them feel the pain.


To paraphrase Winston Churchill the Arabs Can fight ISIS when ISIS is relatively weak and they are strong or they can wait until ISIS is stronger and they have no choice.

I'm lazy right now and not feeling like looking it up, but I bet someone knows.

I feel for them. What I was thinking is we could send them aid, but it wouldn't have to be military aid.
I think both sides could agree on that.

They are as much a death cult as anything. It's as if Charlie Manson had 40,000 followers.

And I understand the thirst for revenge but when you kill prisoners you cede the moral high ground.

King Abdullah ll is a wise man. I hope he does the right thing.

So until they treat people like that, they're good to go.

Picking fights with the entire civilized world is not going to gain them any allies or get their hopes and dreams fulfilled in any way. They appear to be suffering from a combination of delusions and insanity. This will not end well for those individuals and I suspect they know this deep down.
