  1. “I keep hearing it said that air power alone can’t stop ISIS. I don’t hear it spoken in Japanese.” Well, I guess you
    are hearing it said in Arabic, and in Kurdish, as the security forces and the Kurds struggle for their lives. For
    them it is win or die.

  2. How about this, to the Iraqi security forces and Kurds, we’ll keep sending you our home grown’s and you please keep killing them for us so they don’t come back? Deal?

  3. The Iraqi army is useless useless useless – pathetic beyond compare and hopelessly corrupt. The officer corp should be completely and ruthlessly purged.
    The Kurds are the best hope and should be supported to the hilt a la air support over Kobane. Give em weapons and support and ignore the Turks.

  4. “…The officer corp(sic) should be completely and ruthlessly purged. …”
    It was. That’s much of why the Iraqui Army didn’t stand up to the initial IS advances.

  5. Hopefully that the Canadians and Americans fighting over there for IS are among the reported IS dead.
    Good for the Kurds. Hopefully they take back all their lost territory and provide “justice” for the IS fighters they capture, especially those from the western countries.

  6. We should be covertly working for an independent Kurdistan, taking bit fro Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria. This woukld be a five-plus.

  7. I often wonder how good these foreign recruits are, and how they would do against a competent enemy. My guess is they are not very good at all.

  8. From an entirely theoretical perspective, of course, Ken and Lance, this one might surprise you. Our people are pretty much up for one, I’d say.
    The RCAF will be in position in the next few days; we’ll see how it goes both theoretically and practically. I am optimistic for a number of reasons.

  9. The Iraqis and Kurds should hold summary trials and executions of any foreigner trying to overthrow their government. Hopefully they already do.

  10. Do we fight slime, murderous scum of the earth with slime that is the so-called Islamic State to get the bastards scrubbed out of existence? We have the tools, it’s a matter of culling the snake pit(s) that’s funding and breeding them, there’s than one head to this snake.
    It’s all so very cozy to see Muslims here laying flowers at the site of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. When a brute shot down an an unarmed guard in the name of Islam,they need to do more,I wouldn’t hold my breath. Canada needs to do more to control this evil from spreading as well and it doesn’t entail letting more into the country from Islamic states.
