    Interesting indeed. Looks like an M16A4 with some non-issue parts. If you magnify the photo and focus on the lower, it's definitely a Colt.
    ETA: The pic of the guy with the M4 is particularly irritating... Bastard even has Pmags.

    Are we sure these guys are ISIS and not the "good guys"? Guy with the PSL looks clean shaven and they're both wearing matching kit. They just look a lot different than ISIS regulars...

    Dude's kitted-out. SOPMOD M4 w/Elcan, PMAGs, nice carrier, GLOCK 17/19.....are these supposed to be bad guys or good guys?
    And the dude on the right is wearing a pretty nice dress shirt.....Deney Terrio would be jealous.

    Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus (519 BC – 430 BC) Power should only be given to those that want it least.

    There are plenty of Ba'athists working with ISIS, so don't rule them out here.

    Source?

    I am given to understand that Baathists are basically socialists, and not muslim extremists.

    Uh, no, Ba'athism is primarily a heavily fragmented Arab pan-nationalist ideology who derives its ideas and policies from a myriad of different, and sometimes conflicting, sources. That's about as general as you can get to defining them. They have no problems aligning themselves with all kinds of folks who may be opposed to them when its militarily or politically expedient.

    With that in mind, I direct your attention to Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri. He currently heads up a large fragment of the Iraqi Ba'ath Party, also known as the Men of the Naqshbandi Order (JRTN). It forms much of the leadership component of the Supreme Command for Jihad and Liberation, which is composed of a huge number of militias all with differing agendas.

    This grouping has aligned themselves with ISIS.

    Assad is running sorties. The Israeli's are pledging to help. This is either going to be the greatest transcendence of of nations and the cause of the greater good, or the punt kick off the ww3. I really hope it's the first one.

    All it takes is some stupid ass friendly fire incident to escalate this into an extremely bad situation.
