AP News: An Islamic State group video released Sunday purports to show extremists beheading a dozen Syrian soldiers and ends with a militant claiming to have killed U.S. aid worker Peter Kassig, the latest slaughter proudly broadcast by the group on the Internet.

When the Taliban lost control of Afghanistan between Oct. 7, 2001, and Dec. 23, 2001 — a period of 75 days — U.S. aircraft flew 6,500 strike sorties and dropped 17,500 munitions. By contrast, between Aug. 8, 2014, and Oct. 23, 2014 — 76 days — the United States conducted only 632 airstrikes and dropped only 1,700 munitions in Iraq and Syria…
Kassig, another Muslim convert. What can you say about bad choices in life? Reminds me of all the weak minds that joined street cults in the late 20th century and wound up in some sort of Jonestown.
Where. when, how was it reported he had converted? Details like that should be always be part of the the story, to better inform our voting citizenry of the kind of people who are determined to be our enemy even if we want peaceful coexistence.
Bl@ckbird,
Indeed. I’m willing to bet that few of these converts had any religious sensibilities instilled in them by parents besides “be nice to everybody”. Without that, and a Classical education, people become unmoored from their country/civilization and adopt the first “movement” that captures their imagination.
send over some more of our “progressives” to get their heads removed.
how about shiny pony go to investigate root causes
This operation looks remarkably like a feint. Obama wanted to bomb Assad last year. He’s on the ISIS team, IMHO.
The first casualty of war is the truth. I wouldn’t believe a single thing anyone is saying about anything. Especially from the war mongering Americans.
Or they’ll pretend to convert, trying to save their skins. Which wins no respect from Mohammed’s followers, who are taught they should lie about their belief to save their skins, and thus are inclined to think anyone else would, too.
“I keep hearing it said that air power alone can’t stop ISIS. I don’t hear it spoken in Japanese.”
Reaction from the Whitehouse:
“Another beheading! Crap, grab my clubs, there’s work to do.”
That comparison is unfair !!
Ms Valerie has little time to fit in airstrike approvals, what with her psychopathic control freak attempts to control her future serfs’ daily personal choices.
