Isis growth doubled in western countries

[riders2010]

and how many people that see beheadings snd **** and slaughter every day of their life don t have ptsd? Our soldiers have it from being there on a single tour so there won t be any of that with the people we let in never mind everything else that is brought?

I still don't know about the violent video games. I watched Bugs Bunny and aren't trying to drop any ACME anvils on anyone's head.

Media sensationalism for sure is an issue. But a large part of the problem is people feeling disenfranchised. People can be disenfranchised from bullying, economic issues, as stated PTSD, cultural and religious differences, etc. Once groups or individuals get banned for whatever reason, that feeling of being outside of society lights the fuse.

What is surprising is all the talk of banning Muslims, etc is unconstitutional (freedom of religion). This talk actually plays right into the plans of ISIS.

That's right Oliver , but why was it not? The US has been there flying sorties and with satelite eyes for almost 2 years . They know *** in well that oil is going from Isis to Turkey - it's impossible not for them to know . Rusia found out about it in the first set of bomb runs - they started to take those oil convey out and guess what - Turkey shoots a jet down . This whole situation stinks over there something terrible .
Something far bigger is going down than the creation of the worlds next boogy man.

I know this is hard to believe, but the reason the obama administration didn't bomb oil transports, oil trains, oil pipelines, oil pumping stations, oil loading facilities or ship loading facilities, wait for it,,,environmental reasons !!! Yes, the obama administration, was worried about lightin' up all that crude because of carbon and global warming! yes believe it or not, U.S. military people have stated that's why their hands were tied.
So, not only is the U.S. military fighting a politically correct war(constraining rules of engagement, to the point that Miranda rights have to be read to the enemy on the battle field if taken prisoner), they're also fighting a environmentally friendly war!
sic!

[sawfly]

there is something really fishy .
the US is using ISIS to rid Syria of Assad and Russia.
you would think they would have learned
after supporting Bin Laden and the mujaheddin against the Russians in Afghanistan.
i guess not.
lives do not matter
it is power plays , money ,oil, and arms sales,
war means profits, so why would you want to stop them.
you can't cut off their money supply,
the war might stop.

And rightly so BB - do you not remember the first gulf war with the oil fields in Kuwait on fire? Said they burned a billion barrels of oil. You don't want to recklessly get into doing that again.

[boarderbloke]

Com'on Grassy, you can't compare bombing a transport or even a hundred transports as far as that goes to Sadam blowin' up a just one wellhead on a flowing well.
There'd be a lot fewer drivers, if they knew the U.S. would be dropping bombs on them.

[Hamloc]

I think far more lives will be ended by allowing Isis to sell their stolen oil than the U.S. blowing up the tankers. Having said that I think the world powers use a conflict like Syria to have a war without actually attacking each other unfortunately the Syrian people are caught in the middle, it is very sad and of no real benefit to the Syrian people.

I like angryville. Grassmoker can tick me off and I'll still keep coming back.
