Any ISIS fighter who fights in Syria gets free US citizenship.
Acually, you really don't have to fight to get that.
Just walk across the border.
Eventually, ISIS will figure out that if they attack Israel, the whole Arab World will unite around them.
Then, it gets interesting.
Freedom and Democracy in Iraq!
Hope and Change in America!
Both are going to intersect very soon....
JUST Remember The Original CAST... GWB Cheney Powel...
"We Must Invade For WMD's NOW...Trust Us"
Hail to the chimp
"Eventually, ISIS will figure out that if they attack Israel, the whole Arab World will unite around them.
Then, it gets interesting."
Israel has been supporting ISIS with airstrikes against Assad's positions in Southern Syria and has been giving medical aid to fighters crossing over the border from Syria whence they return after the Israelis have patched them up. Listen to former Israeli ambassador to the US Michael Oren:
Most notably, he responded to a question about whether America should ally with Iran to fight Sunni terrorists in Iraq by insisting that, when it comes to militant Islam in the Middle East, even after the rise of ISIS, "the lesser evil is the Sunnis over the Shias." Sunnis may carry out suicide bombings and international terrorist attacks (as America learned on 9/11), but Shias from Tehran to Beirut wield far more hard military power and pose a much larger threat to Israel. "It's of a different magnitude entirely," he argued. "Do not make a pact with Iran."

It's already interesting, far too interesting and few folks seem to have noticed.
You can't not by now know that the atlantic is owned by by the ashkenazi faction of the jewish faith. Just so you know, it doesn't include the idiots who bang their heads against a wall on Jewish holidays.
They're just idiots.
Been there. The wall is just a wall, your head is your head. I bet if you put your mind to it you could find a better use for it.
The last word in ashkenazi is nazi.
Exactly.
Two things need to happen before ISIS even considers attacking Israhell:
1. USSA has to throw them under the bus, Taliban style.
2. Israhell has to stop healing wounded ISIS fighters and IDF has to quit it's habit of being ISIS air cavalry.
Actually, it still won't be the whole Arab world that joins them: the House of Goatfuckers (Saudi, Bahrain & Qatar) will side with their Israhell brethern...

Obama the teleprompter reader takes his orders from the ZWO money, just like every other teleprompter reader puppet who will drive the bus of american idiots.
I am in doubt as to whether Ovomit will support/defend Israel,....or simply fake it, like he has been, and feed Israel to the muscum demons like he has the other MENA countries.
Too many Neoconners of the Tribe in Obama's Foreign Policy team. Even Kerry's great grandpa was a Yahud named Kohn.
Ariel Sharon said it best: American Foreign Policy originates in Jerusalem.
Obama's strategy, if you can call it that, is to demonstrate unending corruption, malfeasance and ineptitude in every engagement. This, in parallel with his domestic economic agenda is driving America towards the THE END, which, given our considerable potential, can only occur when we are fully demoralized. When we can see the unending parade of those, who many parrot on ZH, condemning America as evil and corrupt and inept, when that perception becomes dominant, that is when Obama & Co will have reached their goal, when they can truly impose virtually any mad utopia vision upon us and we will lap it up gladly. It likely will not be Obama or Hillary who can perform this final act because too many see them as the point of corruption, but fully expect a real Messiah to appear who will offer all manner of revolutionary solutions. Likely someone who is closely aligned with the international body politic. Someone who will lead the lambs to slaughter.
There is a strategy and it is not hidden. It is in plain clear sight. We are watching its progression and many openly participating in it, even unknowingly.
So lets continue to disparage our country. Pray for its collapse out of impatience and possible revenge. Lets see what opportunities await...and for whom. So many here are convinced that the world and its sheeple are being manipulated, yet refuse to accept that THEIR actions could equally be the desired result. We educate ourselves to understand all that is going on around us, yet I am still not convinced that what we see, what we think other fail to see, is not exactly what they want us to see. Do we not believe that those in Ferguson or Baltimore or Waco do not feel the exception, do not feel that they suffer under the blind eyes of others? Do we really think that they do not believe that THEY know what many of the rest of us do not?
Question everything.
This IS the Matrix, and nothing we are exposed to is without purpose. There is no red or blue pill...we are in the Matrix where even the pills we take are no more real than the spoon.
"whether Ovomit will support/defend Israel,....or simply fake it"
You're kidding, right? First of all I see no constitutional authority for American politicians to support and defend any foreign power with billions of dollars in money and weapons flowing relentlessly for several decades.
Surely you don't think that a single dollar or a single bullet paid for by the US taxpayer and intended for Israel won't get to Israel. And that's despite the fact that even while we have provided this support Israel has murdered our sailors, polluted our land with radioactive waste and stolen our defense plans in order to hand them over to the Soviet Union.
Nope, nothing constitutional about that at all.
Why would they attack Israel? Their wounded soldiers are evacuated to Israel for medical treatment. This is a three way clusterfuck. Israel, Saudi Arabia and Obama. The Unholy Trinity.
Their "Caliph" was born Eliot Shimon.
Migrated.
this cartoonist is a genius... look at how the features of Obama's head are portrayed... give it some thought, what does that look like?
I guess that means the cartoonist thinks Obama's a <fill in the blank>
...mutilated, circumsized and/or deformed penis.
Yeah. A picture says a thousand words.
But this clown is not someone worthy enough upon which to waste my time...
All hail the corrupt incompetent arrogant narcisstic divisive illegal indonesian kenyan alien muslim pathologic lying fudgepacker
Thank You George Bush, funny greeting they are giving us LIBERATORS
O had nothing to do with it? Just got rid of governments in Egypt, Libya, Ukraine, and is actively looking at Syria. New boss same as the old boss.
Obama did not set this policy in place . the powers that be did back in the 90s .. the policy is to TRY and make the USSA world hegemon . .throw in NATO the EU .. .. the idea of regmine change and the Washington Consensus formed under bastards like Wolfowtz, Feith, Holbrooke, and others put the US in the position of becoming world bully policeman . big nanny .. knee capping king pin .. Obama is too damned DUMB to thnk this up . .its been in the cards at least since the CLintons who helped do a NUMBER on the Balkans .. along with NATO . the IMF etc. Obama is just the rubber stamp .. as was Bush .. his pupper master Cheney and PNAC et al . the deep state shadow govt... set policy in motion after the end of the Cold WAr . the end of the Cold War also was the beginning of the end of US.
Failure spelled with a 'O'
Failore? Foilure? Faolure? Failuro?
That last one sounds disgusting, to tell the truth.
Please stop posting this neocon garbage cartoonist.
I am ... puzzled. Which cartoon did you actually look at? Have you any explanation for your garbage comment?
By the way, that is an unfortunate handle you chose. Anhydrous fraud, if I am not mistaken.

Right vs Left
I find it hard to judge a cartoonist by his ... name. I prefer looking at the cartoon and forming my own opinion. Of course, that often leads to a grunt of disgust, just as it sometimes leads to a snarl of recognition.
It is neocon BS. It implies that the US should do more, fight more, add troops, etc. It also fails to understand or aknowledge that the destruction of Iraq and the corresponding chaos is the objective.
Billy, Billy, Billy!! Wikipedia, politically neutral.....NOT!!! But the point is he is good, real damn good and he has the creds to prove it.

Oh boy, he was in a Fraternity....
Agreed! To the downvotes: We know that Obama has been a pathetic, sad fraud. We get it. He's also a pathetic sad lackey to the ruling elite who run both parties so get the fuck over all this neocon propaganda and two-party name calling. Maybe read up on it a little and stop assuming ZH readers are Republicans simply because they collect gold, hate democrats and shit on everything. If a republican ever makes it into the white house you'll see that we hate them just as much and THIS CARTOON IS FUCKING LAME. It's a really old joke. STOP POSTING THESE GODDAM CARTOONS!
If your strategy is to further evil Banksters / NWO agenda in a slightly non-descript way [via ISIS], then, sure - success!
I knew he was going to be a disaster when I saw him throw out the first pitch and squealed like a little squirrel
Pure comedy

If viewed without the sarcasm this is spot on.
Still gotta support the troops! Amazed because I am surrounded by rock flag and eagle people. They have no clue why or how any of this is going on. Just that our freedom is protected. Say huh?
You misspelt freedumb.
Hussein Blowbama- The greatest threat to US National Security...
Say a prayer this weekend for the friends and families of American military lost in Fallujah, Ramadi, etc........
And they want to put up a memorial for Michael Brown in Ferguson..........God help us...........
It's a twisted America.......
And a prayer for the Iraqis in Fallujah too:
Fallujah cancer rates worse than Hiroshima due to use of depleted uranium. Leukemia rates 38 times higher than normal. Breast cancer rates are 10 times higher, childhood cancer rates are 14 times higher.

Am i to feel bad for dead brainwashed fools?
Natural selection.
I vote for NO strategy. Get US troops out and let those ragheads kill each other faster.
I see the aircraft carrier hasn't changed a bit.
Iraq was safe (relatively) and on the road to peace when I last left in 2008. That's been squandered for the political expediency of a charlatan. I believe it will be much harder to convince young men and women to pony up their limbs and lifeblood again, should it be required in the future, given the utter disregard for their sacrafice by this administration. Maybe that's a good thing (or maybe not). Lesson learned however.
p.s. Spare me the Libertarian blather. It's where we part ways. There is evil in the world that needs to be dealt with by good men with guns. Wish it were not the case. It is. Typically those who refuse to fight evil hate those who do. A curious thing.
p.s.s. Spare me the leftist blather re: George Bush is to blame for ISIS. This masacre lies solely at the feet of Barack Husein Obama - empty suit, unaccomplished narcissist.
"There is evil in the world that needs to be dealt with by good men with guns"
As one of those good guys with guns that went to Vietnam to rid the world of the commie evil and survived I'm here to tell you
Your full of it.
Too bad all the misguided, grossly ignorant chikenshit progressive liberal democraps who protested the Viet Nam war in the 60's now run the corrupt, incompetent, mean spirited reprehensible despicabl gubmint...
We should have never gone to Iraq in the first place. No justification for us to sacrifice so many men and women there. No justification for all the Iraqis that died. That massacre brought no good thing to us or them.
Re: your p.s., you are free to associate with any "good men" you know and go fight "evil." I note you're on ZH and yet the traitors in Washington, DC, still draw breath. You are mighty selective in your killing of evil. Just leave your hands and your vote off my children. They do not belong to you. You did not pay for their nourishment. You do not own them. How dare you so callously send them into bankster's battles.
I was a Danang FAC and lost seveal friends there. These latest people who were betrayed will get over it (I did) but will not let their grandkids go. Rand Paul is AFU in many areas but not about undeclared war.
Apart from the depleted uranium, I presume. Or are you referring only the the untouched portion of the landscape therein? Where was that, by the way? It must feel neglected.
and...
It is typical of those who hate to hate those whom they do not understand--from both sides of the equation, my friend.
Pontificate much arsehole.
Iraq was just fine and peaceful before US involvement to protect the petrodollar.
Hide behind that jingo and evil men blather all you like.You are on the wrong forum to find
anyone to agree with your self deception.
The objective of the Iraq war was never peace. If it was the best course of action would have been to leave Saddam in power.
Iraq was never conquered,you are dreaming Puncher.
George Bush, Cheny and Rumsffeld should take all the blame.
Low information, rabid partisan idiot, u.
Both admenstruations are equally responsible.
You'd know that if you cared about the truth.
And each should be hanged as war criminals and traitors.
"Iraq was safe (relatively) and on the road to peace when I last left in 2008"
Bollocks! Iraq was destroyed by the American invasion. Infrastructure, internal security, public services, the whole cohesion of the nation. It was not on the way to recovery in 2008, it was quiescent. A very different thing.
G. Bush is 100% to blame for creating ISIS. Abu Ghraib was full under Saddam, many Iraqis welcomed us but assumed we were going to bulldoze it. When instead we *expanded* it they knew the fix was in. When Bush's crew told Saddam's military and bureaucrats to get lost it was super-dumb nation-building mistake #1. Then he put the worst of them into Abu Ghraib and THAT's who founded and grew ISIS.
I mean what a bunch of f'in idiots, when you take over a country Step 1 is you get on the radio and TV and say "OK everybody we are the new bosses, just keep doing what you're doing. Don't worry, your paycheck will arrive on time, by the way keep the power stations and hospitals and police stations working".
Instead we took the entire well-trained, well-armed, well-connected insiders, the ones who could have stabilized the country for us, and converted them into an instant, home-grown internal enemy.
But then again that's exactly what the Empire of Chaos wanted, isn't it
As always, it's Bush's fault..... he was dumber than box of dried up cat turds.... and the country needs another Bush as much as it needs a third term of the fudgepacker...
Good men with guns? You won't find many in the U.S. military.
The military is full of felons, gang members, drunks, wife-beaters, drug addicts, and koolaid-drinkers.
I speak from firsthand experience.
Thank you Puncher, for your service and wise words.
None of us wants a war but we had one in Iraq and it is unfathomable that Congress has allowed that traitor in the White House to squander what was fought for there.
Remembering this weekend all who died in service for freedom, even when our leaders were inept or colluding with our enemies. We owe all who sacrificed and their families a debt that we cannot pay with the words "thank you."
My green vote was also given to the minus as well. for you ifo.
Milestones
But war makes some people rich. Think of some people besides yourselves.
If they will fight like that for seven virgins and a mule, what would they do for some real money
Almost all groups fighting in Iraq are mercs. Why do you think the war costs so much money? They aren't doing it for religion.
Exactly right.
His strategy on ISIS is FOR ISIS.
Obama has neither a strategy of any kind nor a foreign policy. What he has is a narrative, and it's "flexible." I hope this hasn't caused you any confusion.
Lets not forget that Obozo / US sponsored, funded, supplies ISIL / Daesh / AQ / Al Nusra / FSA & now Russia is going to supply weapons to Iraq to help to fight an enemy the US / Saudi & Israel created.
Moscow ready to supply weapons to Iraq to help fight ISIShttp://rt.com/news/260913-russia-iraq-weapons-isis/
The recent pivot by Russia stinks of complicitness & collusion to bring in a NWO based on all the Actors / Players want to create a whole new society, economic order, digital currency etc. Be prepared to have all out minds blown & the Matrix they created to be exposed. This leads to Ziggy Brzezinski's strategy of a offering a faustian bargain the China & Russia to co rule w/ the US in the NWO.
You can't make this stuff up folks.
This dipshit might start by not bombing Syrian granaries and mis-dropping weapons caches to ISIS.
We can't defeat a group we created and support. Losing Iraq to gain Syria is a small price to pay for Pres. Peace Prize
The Middle East is an insoluble problem. If we stay out completely it becomes more of a problem and if we intervene, no matter what side we support, it beomes more of a problem. This is nothing more than crisis management and that is all it will ever be. At least for the foreseeable future.
The West has been meddling in the Middle East for too long and has built a legacy which an entire generation of Arabs have grown up believing is inevitable and inescapable. If you can imagine for a moment what it would be like in America if we had some resource in cheap abundance (but little else) that the rest of the world was dependent upon you can see what it must be like to be born and die as just an average person in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Qatar, and even Syria and Egypt.
this guys fucking crass
