    Seems like the level of outrage against ISIS is continuing to intensify with more and more people. At this rate, I suspect that people are going to get less concerned with collateral damage with regard to airstrikes. The Hamas playbook is not going to work for these dirt bags, because after all, there is no real media in ISIS territory that they can manipulate in their favor. I expect there to be some serious collateral damage in the coming year and I suspect the response will be for the most part the sound of crickets chirping.

  2. I think you're right. Arab governments are not shy about killing their own citizens, particularly if they are supporting insurgents. It's only when Israel does it that it's controversial.

    yeah well, That's the big issue we have never settled, hence gitmo. Who are these guys? Are they criminals or enemy combatants? Probably King George had to ask the same thing about the Americans. If they had a city like Dresden we could just carpet bomb the whole city. Too bad if you didn't vote for Hitler, your country did, and that makes you the enemy.
