1. Washington has sent 180 of 300 American troops
A ,   Belgium   (06.30.14)
Oblabla prepares the United States for another Vietnam like disaster that will accomplish nothing besides more dead and wounded American men and women while he golfs and plays with his dogs.
2. Islaamic delusions of grandeur
CJK   (06.30.14)
arab muslims have been waging wars of aggression and conquest for the last fourteen hundred years. islam is a war like supremacist religion which openly practices jihad and subjugation. this so-called caliph, who was released from prison by the deluded obama, will lose his caliphate and most likely his head, in the not too distant future. he has way too many enemies.
3. Whilst K+O were bullying Israel,Ukraine,ISIS ,Nig blewup

4. Islamic caliphate declared
Alon ,   Bet Shemesh, Israel   (06.30.14)
Looks like Glen Beck hit the nail on the head as he was saying this a number of years ago.
5. #1 America is bankrupt and couldn't fight its way out of a
Al   (06.30.14)
paper bag. They are all about show and precious little else. The point is America is long past its due date and is today in the grip of a societal breakdown. Over 2 million in jail and a society overtaken with rampant drug use, low aptitude and very poor scholarship. All of the above is a recipe for societal breakdown and anarchy.
6. And the next target is ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.30.14)
.... Jordan. What will the United States do? Nothing, short of counting on Israel to take on the "caliphate." Should we do it? Can we do it? Yes, to both. But there will be a price to exact. The clown in the oval office needs to understand this. The price Israel will exact will be dear, but we will have placed ourselves in the line of fire in order to keep American boys at home. Along with an approval rating among the American people ranging between 80 and 85 percent, we need to capitalize on that level of support, which essentially says "F88k the Presbyterian Church of the United States." (Interesting to note that their membership has dropped significantly already, and it's been but one week.) Israel can probably cripple that useless excuse for a religion. If ever there was a time to use Israel's crippling air superiority, now would be the time. The Iraqi military won't be a problem. They'll be too busy hunkering down and breathing sighs of relief. Israel had better step in before Iran does, get it? Jordan's a huge sitting duck -- we need to keep that in mind, too. You cut off the cancer before it gets too large.
7. Haroun El Poussah must fall!
Iznogoud ,   Baghdad   (06.30.14)
I want to become Caliph instead of the Caliph!
8. Not a chance, #1
Cameron ,   USA   (06.30.14)
We'll handle this Iraq phase rather gingerly as the ISIS barbarians finally move into Shiite areas, and the real bloodbath begins. The emphasis will be on observation and assessment by the US as Iraq collapses.
9. Lessons not learned
marco ,   pardes hana, israel   (06.30.14)
this group can go around beheading as they please. israel lifts a finger to protect its citizens from rocket fire and the world is at it's neck demanding it to respond with restraint. Screw you! i foresee the day when the western world will be furiously trying to calm islam down, good luck on that one. you have made your bed, it may not be so comfortable. The "political correctness" which has been your mantra for so many years will no doubt come to haunt you big time. Bye bye europe. USA will follow.
10. Art Tsonis is as deluded as his Islamic brothers are
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.30.14)
11. Art Tsonis on Facebook
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (06.30.14)
With Muslims there is no peace. Everyday we see Muslims killing each other. You won't see Jews killing each other like that. Enjoy that Art!
12. How do Shia want to win when dressed in female night gowns?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.30.14)
13. What is done can be undone
TC   (06.30.14)
These 'isis' or whatever the mass media call them are just men, albeit evil ones but just men, let's not forget that. Back in 2003, who thought that the US could wipe out Saddam so easily? The same goes for these shmucks, it's just a question of motivation and will. Period.
14. #5

15. HIstorically, power shifts from the East to the West and
Rivkah   (06.30.14)
then back again every 500+ years. But this time the power shift will not last time. The East will have a Caliphate but it won't last long unless the Muslims and other Eastern nations make an effort to avoid Armageddon which will end Gentile world rule (East or West).
16. USA doesnt have the stomach?
Kolboynik ,   Baltimore, MD   (06.30.14)
USA didnt have the stomach to go against Hitler either but was forced after the Pearl Harbor attack. -- I say Europe and USA start carpet bombing those throwbacks asap! Its getting bad.

A ,   Belgium   (07.01.14)
There you have it, fresh cannon fodder for the USAF to send to Iraq. Don't need a university degree to have your head shot off.
