  1. That man wasn't on the battlefield he lied to survive prison and got out and hid and did atrocious things to women and when they came for him he cried and died like a dog if y'all wouldn't have killed saddam ISIS would have never started and Obama and Biden didn't do anything for far to long and innocent people died cause to them it was an iraq problem ISIS is a global threat to all the ideology and them have to die every last bit of it

  2. Once again Baathist saved by ISiS dont you see Assad in Syria? Dont you see dictatorship ??their Create isis to save their regime?? I dont think Russia involvement change everything in Syria.. because CIA and Mossad all intelligent unit already know Russian has involve in Syria since 2012.. within upgrade weapon era armour..

    American might be create a terrorist Al Qaeda to maintain their oil supply.
    But Baathist and other country under Russian block they ceate isis as a reason to bring the war end..

  3. Why don't we bomb the hell out of Islam? Have you ever seen a snake charm a little bird. That bird..caught in the lock of the snakes eyes is suddenly frozen with fear until such time the snake moves closer. INTIMIDATION is one of the deadliest weapons that can be used on its trusting prey.

  4. ISLAM HAS TO GO BYE-BYE—-THE CIVILIZED WORLD CAN NOT AFFORD THIS NEANDERTHAL RELIGION OF HATE  They are sure that hate and killing is God's will for them, we are sure they are sick, brainwashed demonic robots of the devil.  We are right

  5. America created ISIS so America can stay in a perpetual state of war.  They attempted to do this with Vietnam but that backfired.  This is the only way the few elite that are running the world can profit and stay in power.

  6. Published on Aug 7, 2014
    Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, so-called ,” the head of ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) is not only an agent of Mossad, the Israeli named "Simon Elliott" or "Elliott Shimon.
    Publish Site American Veterans Today, a report in which he said that the leader of the "Daesh" Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is not only an agent of Mossad, the Israeli named "Simon Elliott" or "Elliott Shimon," was trained to head the organization Daesh in order to spread chaos in the Arab countries neighboring Israel.

    The report, published by the site, the "Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi," was born to Jewish parents and picked up Israeli intelligence services, to get highly trained to spy, and then been planted in one of the countries to assess the organization "Daesh", which was published chaos throughout the Arab world and the demolition of states, which increases the chances of Israel's control over the region.

  7. Well done by Martin once again. What I didn't enjoy was the flippant answer given, without follow up, on how 800 ISIS members could drive out an Iraq Army that totals over 100,000. The Iraqi official quickly dismissed this with 'dysfunctional' and changed the subject. Training the Iraq Army was a major USA program lasting years, and costing billions; dysfunctional is not an answer on their complete disappearance. Today's results may suggest that this so called training was little more than a conduit for billions of dollars to both US contractors and Iraqi officials, a giant billion dollar theft.

  8. Because he's doing exactly what the c.i.a wanted him to do invade iraq and syria for us why you think they let him go come on since when do we let go supposed terrorist….??
