ISIS, Al-Qaeda Join The M&A Bubble, Agree To Fight "Common Foes" Together In Syria
Following al-Baghdadi's threats this morning, and General Dempsey's warnings, it appears things are escalating once again in The Middle East:
- *ISIS, AL-QAEDA AFFILIATE AGREE TO FIGHT TOGETHER IN SYRIA: AP
As AP reports, the deal could be a heavy blow to Washington's strategy against the
Islamic State group, relying on arming moderate rebel factions to push
back extremists in Syria. It appears The West is "gonna need a bigger coalition."
BREAKING: AP Sources: Islamic State, al-Qaida affiliate agree to fight foes together in Syria.
— The Associated Press (@AP) November 13, 2014
As AP reports,
Two Syrian opposition figures say the Islamic State group and al-Qaida's branch met last week and agreed to stop fighting each other and work together against their opponents.
The deal could be a heavy blow to Washington's strategy against the Islamic State group, relying on arming moderate rebel factions to push back extremists in Syria.
A prominent Syrian opposition official and a rebel commander say delegates from the two groups met in secret on Nov. 2 in northern Syria and agreed to end months of fighting between them and cooperate on the ground. The two spoke on condition their names not be used for their own protection or because they were not authorized to release the information.
The accord stops short of a merger between the two.
As The Daily Beast reports, this has been looming...
Jihadi veterans known collectively as the Khorasan group, which have been targeted in two waves of airstrikes by U.S. warplanes, are trying to broker an alarming merger between militant archrivals the Islamic State and Jabhat al Nusra, the official Syrian branch of al Qaeda.
The merger, if it comes off, would have major ramifications for the West. It would reshape an already complex battlefield in Syria, shift forces further against Western interests, and worsen the prospects for survival of the dwindling and squabbling bands of moderate rebels the U.S. is backing and is planning to train.
“Khorasan sees its role now as securing an end to the internal conflict between Islamic State and al Nusra,” says a senior rebel source. The first results are already being seen on the ground in northern Syria with a coordinated attack on two rebel militias favored by Washington.
All three of the groups involved in the merger talks—Khorasan, Islamic State (widely known as ISIS or ISIL), and al Nusra—originally were part of al Qaeda.

Bashir must be LHMFAO.
Great! Does this mean we can just start calling the boogeyman Al Qaeda again?

What's really sad is that after all the flak about supporting terrrurists to fight terrrurists in Syria, they were still arming Al-Qaeda. Their hubris grows by the day. Did McCain personally meet with Al-Qaeda too?
McStain is Al-Qaeda.
Yikes, well maybe we should replace Assad then, just to make Amerika safe again?
Thanks to Rita Katz for the update of how we should think!

People setting aside differences and uniting as one.
Hope and Change.
GS will be underwriting the M&A details between the two groups.
Isnt that the same as over here where the democrats and republicans Decide to join Forces to fuck the common foe known as the american citizenry?
Close. In the USSA the terrorisssiss wear blue uniforms.
Well, we could do the logical thing,
join forces with Assad, and tell AIPAC to go pound sand.
Send out the apaches!

The propoganda to go to war is strong with this one.
Ahhh, nice to know that the two extensions of the CIA are getting along so well.
Is anyone suprised here? Then they will tell us how much more a threat they are now and that we need to escalade the war in some way or something like that.
Economies of scale!
Have both stocks risen on the news?
Not yet, waiting on the news the Al CIAda wing is going to mint platinum and palladium coins.
To Washinigton DC: If we're going to have WWIII, can we just get it the fuck over with? If not, STFU, GTFO and FUCK RIGHT OFF you dumb fucking cocksuckers.
The urge to merge!
Goldman is all over it with a 'AAA' rated high yielder!
US has Smart Bombs that can tell the difference between Fanatics and Moderates. Assuming there are any Moderates left.
The downside is that the ID feature is activated after detonation.

Clearly, we need to find some more moderate cut-throats to send in and support.
ISIS is smart, aggressive and wealthy. They still have not attacked Israel or America. If and when they do attack America, they will attack the specific people who cause their problems, specificly, politicians, The Fed and oligarchs... unless politicians, The Fed and oligarchs are the people backing ISIS.
ISIS is not stable enought to do anything but defence. They need credibility, law (rules that arnt changed by decree), and time. Otherwise its just a gang of misfits running roughshod over communities and that ends badly.
Can we all watch?
ISIS is smart, aggressive and wealthy.

You are mistaken, in Egypt a major islamist group has recently pledged allegiance to ISIS. Ansar Beit El-Maqdis has already made deadly attacks on Israel across the Sinai border.
There is now a war going on in Egypt. Every day the local papers cover bombings, shootings and beheadings.
Just today the Egyptian navy during an exercise was unexpectedly caught in a flotilla of enemy boats. A heavy battle took place, boats were sunk and 8 sailors from the navy are missing at sea.
In just over a year of the insurgency the death toll is approaching the toll of a decade of insurgency back 20 years ago involving Al Gamaah Al islamiya (they kiled over 50 tourists in one attack, 18 in another). It is also getting worse and reports are that foreign jihadists are now entering Egypt.
Only a matter of time before a coordinated attack kills a few hundred tourists (or a few thousand, if they sieze a few of the big hotels). Lots of places tourist destinations are just ripe for the slaughter. They hate tourism and the revenue it provides the government.
This was always the plan.
Take down Bashar, Syria, cause chaos, move on, MIC money, Zog design from day one.
This is all part of "shock and awe"
If anyone reading this is sitting next to McCain, please tell him to sit down and shut the F*ck up!
Don't you just love it when a plan comes together!
Why would we care? We have been bombing both of them since the start. Some media were questioning why we started our campaign against ISIS by bombing Khorasan, of whom no one had ever heard, but whatevs. If they are all in one place it will take fewer bombs to kill them. I don't think we have a good strategy for fighting them, but them banding together isn't unexpected.
Awhile back we had an article about how the time is ripe for a new Hitler type to emerge....I think ISIS is it...they seem to have the cool factor with the youth of the world....I keep hearing stories of how westerners are going to join the fight..both men and women....its seem to be quite a fad..and the beheading videos gets the young boys turned on...they love that stuff after playing video games 8 hours a day...I bet their membership grows and grows fast...they seem to have a good grasp of the internet and social programs to recruit and glorify what they are and are doing...they have money too...We from the Christian Religions need to watch ourselves with this bunch...they do not want us around anymore...and they do not abide by the Geneva Conventions either
The US created all of these groups, directly and indirectly but foreseeably.
I posted this earlier; but I'll rinse and repeat.
With the Merger, now All Sides will be using US Weapons.
Time to send McCain back over for some talks with the terrorsts.. I mean moderates. They only take payment in gold now
Is that ass clown going to chair foreign services or some other committee. Fuck you, Arizona, for sending this NWO/neocon shill back to the Senate over and over.
He is awful. Simply awful.

anyone know how much US stuff Isis have captured/been given ?... are they now listed in Jane's Defense ?
there are 2 phrases that become oxymorons here ; Military precision, & Military intelligence.
Oh, and of course there is also some paradox -the Nobel peace prize winner increasing the amount of weapons in that area continuosly....
I'd like to know how much they DON'T have anymore. Those toys were a one time deal, no more tanks for the Caliphate.
wow, I didn't see that coming. I guess Al Q wants their name on a gold coin too.
Russia just bought a ton. 55 ton I think. SDR's coming after the collapse. He who has gold will be powerful.
...something about "the enemy of my enemy"...

Saudia Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, and Israel, should be the ones that put their troops in the fight.
Not USSA, or UK, got the t-shirt twice, plus our dead, and wounded.
It's Quicksand to Hell
If the locals can't put the isis down, we sure can't
They are making a nice little Middle East army. Why does this army not go after mount Zion ? We have the makings of a Vietnam style sand war here.
Manageable war. Just what the pentagon likes.
