remember that when you get to Room 101. Right now the MSM is making sure that all the lemmings know that 2+2=5 and the sheeple are eating it up.
How about the bottom of the Atlantic?

SALON BLAMES PARIS TERRORIST ATTACKS ON CONSERVATIVES, CALLS FOR END TO FREE SPEECH
http://www.breitbart.com/big-governm...d-free-speech/
In the very midst of the Paris bloodbath Friday night, Salon Magazine published a shameful piece suggesting that the blame for such horrific terrorist attacks falls on the “incendiary rhetoric” of America’s conservative movement and “right-wing media” for using strong language against progressives.
Such rhetoric, Salon warned, “does not float in the ether of the public discourse, harmless and unacknowledged. No, it does in fact lead to action.”In what can only be called disgraceful opportunism, Devega makes use of the Paris carnage to draw conclusions for American free speech. Violence and terrorism are not the result of ideology and jihad, he suggests, but rather are a foreseeable consequence of open criticism of one’s opponents.
“Real terrorists have killed people in the streets of Paris. The right-wing media needs to take note of that fact and moderate their rhetoric and abusive language accordingly,” he said. -
I'm going to go rage in the gym now after reading that....f those people.

Syria is a secular Arab nationalist regime. Under Assad's Ba'athist rule, it's basically like Iraq "was" (which is currently better than Turkey "is"). Think dance parties, hot cars with no speed limit, and exotic women with seductive gazes. Originally Posted by FromMyColdDeadHand

Iran is a theocratic state, but most Americans have no understanding of the structure, or how the Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Khameni) interacts with the President (Hasan Rouhani) or the Guardian Council (Senate) and the Majlis (Congress). It's really not as wild as you think.
Everybody wants to run with the meanest and the baddest (we do too) but unless they practice good strategy, they will not have staying power. Originally Posted by FromMyColdDeadHand

At the height of the insurgency, Mookie and the JAM were IT for Iraqi Shia who wanted to fight the occupation. After the JAM Ceasefire of 2007, the some of his colonels disobeyed and became the "JAM Special Groups" or JSG. Iran BTW loved this because they certainly did not authorize an end to hostility against the American occupation- a dead American or a dead Arab both fall in the WIN column for them.
JSG was the baddest for a while, but fizzled out after we killed most of them. Mookie appeared to go full puss by converting JAM into the "Office of the Martyr Sadr" or OMS and giving out food and helping struggling families. Whole towns fell to JAM without firing a shot- and all it took was big bags of bread (huge bags).
The Sadrist Bloc took political office and kept helping build a better Iraq for Shia Iraqis... until the rise of ISIS when they JAM came back in the form of the "Peace Brigades" that later morphed into Hash'd al Shaabi or the Popular Mobilization Front (HaS/PMF). Now, working with the Quds force they are one of two elements on the ground who are capable of taking back terrain from ISIS.
So what's the point?
Armed groups can go in the "Dark Direction," then turn into a literal charity organization, then turn into a political party, then be carrying out genocide ops and filling mass graves a few years later.
Also, it's not a given that going in the "Dark Direction" hastens your destruction. The elements we supported in Libya, al Qaeda in Islamic Mahgreb and Ansar al Sharia, are pretty damn dark. Now we are hungry for more of that AQ style terror by supporting Jabhat al Nusra in Syria. We support them because they are Evil (prepare yourself for the blowback).
King Abdullah is undoubtedly the best of all the monarchs. They should definitely kill him last. Originally Posted by FromMyColdDeadHand

A successor ideology must be found and appointed. They will have to do themselves.
I personally nominate secular Arab nationalism/ Ba'athism (but for Sunnis... think Saddam 2.0).

And speaking of Poland, apparently they seem to have their heads at least partially out of their asses regarding the "immigrant crises", as I saw the other day (on RT- wasn't a story, just a scrolling headline) they have rejected the EU's quota for their country, and apparently there was a mention on twitter about a pretty large demo against it.
I don't know the whole story, and I don't trust the MSM to tell it to me- perhaps our resident Pole can comment?
Finally some common sense bubbles to the surface of their national consciousness. Originally Posted by Irish

At this point we can all go back to the table and negotiate, but I don't see that happening so if you're the French President, whom do you go to for help?
The Jews have been fleeing France for some time do to antisemitism so more than a few bridges are burnt there. I would guess at this point Putin looks a lot smarter than Obama and Hillary.

France launched "massive" air strikes on the Islamic State group's de-facto capital in Syria Sunday night, destroying a jihadi training camp and a munitions dump in the city of Raqqa, where Iraqi intelligence officials say the attacks on Paris were planned.
Twelve aircraft including 10 fighter jets dropped a total of 20 bombs in the biggest air strikes since France extended its bombing campaign against the extremist group to Syria in September, a Defense Ministry statement said. The jets launched from sites in Jordan and the Persian Gulf, in coordination with U.S. forces...
