The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant Megathread

[Admiral Yi]

The Wolfman was flipping out about about the possibility of the Iraqi army running away and leaving the 400 US guys at al-Baghdadi to fend for themselves.  He also has a boner for the Khurds.

But not islamic terrorists.
He never uses both words in the same sentence.

Nor does he mentions the actual name of Mohammed, because as a muslim he can't without saying PBUH, which would out him as a muslim to everybody.

He also never says the word "America" because he can't without first saying "God damn"

I linked to a news report about that base a month ago in this thread, the Iraqis then were of the opinion that the US would never let the base fall because the US forces were there; half-implied that was the only reason the Iraqi forces were still hanging around.

I hate to be all G.W. Bush about it. But let 'em come. They attack that base and they're gonna get the whippin of their lives (which will be short).

I hope the US has a good plan for defending this base, because obviously ISIS would make it a priority to attack Americans, or any western/Euro troops.

He should be sent to Iraq, to show locals how redraw maps properly. I mean could possibly go wrong?

[Eddie Teach]

He might recreate the Babylonian Empire!
