Al-Qaeda Behead 10 Prisoners & Mount Their Heads On Spikes In Syria
There are stories of beheading children and placing their heads on spikes throughout Syria, but I wont bore you with the details. These stories are difficult to see or hear about in our country, but they are true....pics, stories and eyewitness account available.
Point is..I wish WE would get upset.......this is not new....and it is not going to stop.
This is not something that should take over our life, but to just toss this stuff aside as this country has been doing is wrong in my opinion....it should be part of our policy to address this. |
Rags, I hope you saw the Press conference today from the Pentagon with Hegel and Dempsey. Both of them "get it" with regard to the international threat from Isis. It gave me some hope that not everyone in Washington is asleep at the wheel.
Dempsey called the agenda of Isis apocalyptic, end of days, and religious. Hagel seemed shocked to be asked if they were comparable to 911 terrorists, and listed the many ways Isis exceeds any previous terrorist threat to this country as well as there being an immediate threat to Europe.
As I understand it, their goal is to take over many of the currently Muslim nations as well as Israel and to destroy anyone who disagrees with their ideology.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, anybody who feels like it can get a hero's welcome walking across our border.... Let's do a round of golf.
