Honestly, the wars in the Middle East never truly end. For those saying Afghan war ended in 2014, that is.. Interesting to say the least. The U.S. doesn't even consider what we're doing in Iraq to be a war, our troops will still be in the field in Afghanistan alongside their Afgahn counterparts. Our troops will continue dying in Afghanistan, hell didn't five contracts just die this year? Those wars are now permanent, Operation this or operation that are all part of the continued Operation: War on Terror.
yep and Obama is only hoping the bombing can keep them busy to delay attacks here like 9-11. Their attacks so far are isolated to discouraging others from joining us. look for future attacks here as nothing is really stopping them since we left the battle field there open. All the sacrifice so Obama could give all gains back is the truth.
Give me a break with the "execution." They were murdered. We're not talking about a country executing people for capital offenses or treason. These people are terrorists.
Let's get that straight.
Execution is the proper term, murder implies that the terrorist that were executed were actually innocent. If I killed someone and went to jail, would you say the system "murdered" me? Or executed? Murder would imply that I was of innocence in my opinion.
I just wish Obama would do this as well. ISIS is pure evil and deserve to die every last one of them. I support Jordan for doing this, just wish our president would also.
Rest assured if there was an opportunity to find all of ISIS in one place, President Obama would take them all out at once.
Problem is they are not all in one big auditorium. They are spread out over thousands of square miles and they dress and look just like the rest of the population.
Just for info, which heads do you want the president to lop off in retaliation for the Jordan Pilot's execution?
Do we have any known terrorists who have been found guilty, waiting for punishment? Let's just kill them. Don't think we have any though.

The U.S. and NATO officially ended the 13 year War in Afghanistan in 2014. Troops remain to continue training and supporting Afghan military.
Hope this turns out a tad better than it did it Iraq. When the bad guys came, the Iraqui military shed its uniforms and hid.
You cannot help those who will not help themselves.

One big ole cluster fudge.
In other words, the U.S. is continuing to do what we've been doing -- think about it, the US always had Afghan forces in combat, why do you think they absorbed the most losses? We're just going to be beside them in combat operations and various raids. Plus once again, we've been training them for years as well, probably for 13 years and they still aren't good enough to handle it on their own. Now with that being said, I'm in the same boat with you in regards to hoping this turns out better than Iraq. I want our troops to say in Afghanistan especially with the aftermath in Iraq but I don't want us discounting our mission in Afghanistan. I don't want it being implied that our troops aren't performing combat operations and are instead somewhat of an occupying force like how we are in Germany, South Korea, Japan, Etc, we are engaged in combat, we continuing to kill therefore the 'war' isn't done which is why there wasn't much hoopla about it like how it was with Iraq.
Think about it: when people in the military say they are being deployed to South Korea, that's just for rotation, it's not for rotation in Afghanistan, it's for combat and training therefore the war can't be over. But as I said before, I'm glad we're staying there, and I'm glad that our troops are instructing Afghan troops in combat although I'd prefer just to keep advisers on the ground.
Nice, blaming the victims. Let me guess, ISIS are poor victims.
These are not tourists who wandered into the bad part of town. Their choices to stay made them highly vulnerable to being victims.
ISIS is a terrorist organization using religion as a recruiting tool and to rationalize a national agenda- not victims.
