Bush, Cheney, Obama, Hillary, Trump and a host of others deserve nothing other than to rot in hell for what they have done.

Would we go for that? Why should others? Why are we in Iraq after 16 years still?
There are no reasons to be there, I will give you that and I agree with you

But muslims need to know that ISIS's number 1 victims are Muslims.

The muslims cannot fight back against western Air Force and high-tech western weaponry, so they target western civilians.

For once I agree with you. It is stuff like this that helps grow resentment and hatred of the US. Reminds me of Henry V...

"I was not angry since I came to France
Until this instant. Take a trumpet, herald.
Ride thou unto the horsemen on yond hill.
If they will fight with us, bid them come down,
Or void the field. They do offend our sight.
If they’ll do neither, we will come to them
And make them skirr away as swift as stones
Enforcèd from the old Assyrian slings.
Besides, we’ll cut the throats of those we have,
And not a man of them that we shall take
Shall taste our mercy. Go and tell them so."

Henry V, Act 4, William Shakespeare

We need to understand that we are no better than those we call terrorists.

well, that is the reason why they joined ISIS - the organization killed the most Muslims.

Yeah, makes perfect sense.

NOT

Yeah because we blow up banks any time there is a hostage situation

Tear gas and returning fire... LMAO so wrong on so many levels...

When tear gas is deployed, unless you have activated charcoal masks that protect the respiratory track and eyes, you aren't returning fire accurately to hit the broad side of a barn...

The military reports 101 civilians in the building were killed, and another four died in a nearby building. Thirty-six civilians remain unaccounted for. "

No wonder the War on Terror isn't working. We usual kill 100 civilians to kill 10 bad guys. I'd guess we just created 200 new Osama Bin Laden's with one misplaced bomb.
Say whatever you want about the war on terror and ISIS - this kind of thing is beyond a travesty.


And yes - I largely believe that this kind of stuff just fuels the fire for these people. I don't think we'll ever learn.

Logic would tell me, if I value what life I have, to either get out of dodge or deal with these scumbags myself or tell the troops where they and their caches are located so that they can do their job and get out.

But that's me...

Logic would tell me, if you don't want people to fight back or retaliate against you then don't invade and occupy their country in the first place.
