ISIS is at best a threat to the people of the Middle East. They are being bigged up by the usual suspects as an excuse for more war. Lots of arms and oil contracts, lots of lovely greenbacks for the usual war profiteers.
You are just falling for the same old s
hite all over again. Then again, that's what they want you to do.
See when they're marching up Union Street and chopping off heads in the Castlegate, then I will worry. Not before.
I agree, Robin Cook was (almost) spot on 10 years ago. The only thing that's change is that all our chickens have come home to roost. ISIS is a very real terrorist organisation which is religiously motivated and funds itself through extortion rackets and captured oil wells. It is a formidable force in the middle east and is fighting and winning even more ground for it's Islamic State. Oh and this ideology won't stop there, and their leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has said exactly that and promised a war on the west.
And in case you haven't noticed, ISIS has support form Islamist fanatics around the globe.
ISIS is without a doubt a very serious terrorist threat and only a fool would ignore it.
Oh and Gusmac, wars that have a beginning must also have an end and no nation can wage a conventional war, indefinitely, and Al-Baghdadi knows this.
So good try Gus, it would be nice if you could come up with something that I don't already know.
