Fowl play. The internet ducks around with ISIS
Humor is often a powerful weapon. Whether it can put an end to terrorism is doubtful, but it's worth a try!

The Onion predicted ISIS and anti-Americanism in 2003
Just goes to show that a little creative thinking was all that was needed to predict the outcome of the invasion of Iraq. Lots of people I knew realized it was a mistake and that it would only make things worse back during the build up to the invasion. Maybe more creative people should get into politics so that we don't have braindead morons running the show.

It's been said over and over that people with a good sense of humor are much more intelligent than those lacking a sense of humor. The writers at The Onion obviously have one heck of a sense of humor and so it was easy for them to see the long term results of the invasion of Iraq. The problem is that most Americans aren't too smart and they don't trust people who are smart and so we wind up with leaders who are mostly pretty stupid. Enough said.

Syria's war: Who is fighting and why
Although it minimizes Israel's involvement, otherwise this video does a pretty good job of providing a little background into those involved in what's going on in the Middle East at this time.

‘ISIS far smarter than we give them credit for’ – McAfee predicts cyber war
The most important point made in this clip is that the USA needs to stop acting as world policeman and be more intelligent in the way it conducts foreign relations.

Sy Hersh Exposes Obamas ISIS
Basically Obama is doing things completely wrong and it appears that he is willfully doing so.

US generals supplied Syria with intel over ISIS to avoid toppling Assad – Seymour Hersh
It's almost like a civil war being fought on foreign soil.

Turkey blocks cartoonist’s website: 'This means I'm doing the right things'
Turkey (aka, Erdoganistan) should have been kicked out of NATO for downing the Russian jet. Blocking websites is a human rights violation and yet another reason why Erdoganistan (formerly Turkey) should be kicked out of NATO. Erdogan is the dictator running Turkey. It's hard to understand why the USA still backs Turkey since I thought we were against dictatorships.

Seymour Hersh Talks Treason And Syria
This is interesting. The first half of the clip basically confirms everything that Putin has been saying for months. The second part of the clip outlines how several leading generals may have committed high treason.

Iranians Burn Saudi Embassy
:whack02:
It remains to be seen if Iran will actually do anything to retaliate, but they sure are talking up a storm. Meanwhile the USA is still backing both Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
