The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant Megathread

[celedhring]

We got Turks, Iranians, Syrians, and Western pigdogs all on the same team.  The Islamic State really brings everybody together.

It's like the alien at the end of Watchmen; nothing like a horrible enough common enemy.

[Siege]

Fuck tanks.
I carry my weapon.
My weapon does not carry me.

[Siege]

As Yom Kippur approaches, I pray for another chance to charge through their ambush line and roll them out, crash their party, and spill their blood on the fertile crescent.
Fuckers don't deserve the air they breathe.
I know who they are, how they think, and what they dream about.
I am their worst nightmare, the beast that kills the Beast.
I am not a good guy by western standards, and I don't care.
I am the Sworn Enemy Of Islam,
The Sword in the Darkness.

Go rejoin the IDF, war criminal.  You're an embarrassment to the U.S. Armed Forces, and you have no business being associated with the U.S. military, you fucking psychopathic assfuck.  Somebody should've dropped a dime on your ass with the IG ages ago, you ignorant fuck.

So Turkey openly considers ground troops to fight against IS. That could be a major change in the power balance in Syria and Iraq.

Someone is going to have to send ground troops, and IMO it should be troops from a nation in the region for the language and cultural effects, rather than a US or other western type intervention.

Seedy is disappointed with the monster he created.

Or maybe just easily trolled

[Eddie Teach]

Eh, Seedy didn't provide the goat.

[mongers]

More bombing please,USAF, RAF, Arme de l'Air (French thingy, whatever it's called) etc.

In then meantime Sweden has capitulated and intends to recognise Palestine as a state. As if that will save Malmö and assorted places from the islamic rabble

Voler comme l'éclair et frapper comme la foudre!

Unless they plan on guaranteeing Palestine's borders or something what difference does it make?

Problem is that Turkey has a much bigger national interest at the moment to get rid of Assad and to keep the Kurds down.

Except that Turkey does not speak the same language, and in fact has a history of being an imperial power in that area.

[Eddie Teach]

Better the locals get pissed at Turkish imperialism than US imperialism.

Besides, it's harder to get traction for a jihad against fellow Sunnis.

How is this a capitulation?
