Proof?

What oil benefit (contracts, pricing etc) is there from parachuting boxes of water to people trapped & terrified on a scorching mountainside?

I'm talking about the bombing of ISIS!!

I reject your reality and substitute it with my own…

I don't recall anyone in the thread saying "Oh the poor terrorists But i do recall plenty of people sickened by the deaths of hundreds of innocent children, or are you claiming that Hamas recruits 2 year old babies to do their dirty work for them therefore making them legitimate targets?

I'm not privy to Hamas's HR recruitments…

The difference between Irish forums and American…

90% Of Irish posters-won't no one think of the terrorists…

90% of American posters-bomb them all to hell, let god sort them out…

:pac:

Its amazing that some posters are still using the plight of innocent Iraqi's to have a go at what some other posters said in another thread. FFS, this kind of carry on, just makes you look someone taking petty potshots after losing an argument. Its neither clever nor funny.

ISIS are a great bunch of lads when it comes to rousting out near-defenceless civilians, somehow I think they might balk at attacking one of the best equipped armies on Earth, who have a reputation for not exactly holding back...

I'd like to see them try, the only time I would support the Israelis.

The query still stands.... Proof?

So the US drops 2 bombs on an ISIS artillery position that was shelling Kurdish peshmerga.

You say this is for oil.

Stopping the slaughter of 40,000+ christians is nowhere in their mind.

I'm just asking what proof you have?

If you want to use the plight of Iraqi's to have a go at other posters. You know what, go ahead. All your doing is making yourself look petty.

Good mapping in this report:

also:

“This is a humanitarian disaster. The churches are occupied, their crosses
were taken down,” said Sako. He added that up to 1,500 manuscripts were burnt.

The United Nations put the number of people who have fled as high as 200,000,

Nuanced look is fine but when you look at the hundreds of thousands of innocents killed in Iraq and Afghanistan by British and American troops plus the thousands killed by Israel. I don't think your ISIS or AQ figures would come even close.

So ISIS are the good guys then?

Ok I see your point I do not have proof.

Its common opinion isnt it?

Can you provide proof that their actions are not oil related?

No, they're all c*nts. Why people feel the need to boil situations down to "cops v robbers" levels of morality is beyond me.

I find myself too often wondering what is the point in the UN? Ethnic cleansing across Africa, Palestine and Iraq and nothing being done. Did nothing to secure the plane crash in Ukraine. Veto power for the two biggest warmongers and one of the worst countries for human rights.

I agree, they should scrap the UN and replace it with a more democratic organization. The veto powers are unjust and stifle the the UN

This thread is not about Hamas, Israel or Gaze. There's a separate thread for that. I don't want to have to thread ban people for not being able tot tell the difference.

Can't prove a negative friend.
Try it.... It ain't easy

And a commonly held opinion is not the same as fact, no matter how cynical you might be.

If a few air sorties help push ISIS back & literally save the necks of tens of thousands of Christians, then good.

Indeed. There are no saints, only sinners.

I heard of this incident as the video was circulated purporting to show muslims killing a woman, however this wasn't the case
http://www.counterpunch.org/2007/05/08/the-horrific-stoning-death-of-a-yazidi-girl/

The above is no more excuse to persute the Yazidi than ISIS are to persecute the muslim population.

I know they got a lot of money from Iraqi banks that they robbed after they pushed back the Iraqi army. The weapons are weapons abandoned by the Iraqi army, which mean they have modern hi-tech weaponry at there disposal.

It was more of a rhetorical question but I don't think that's where they're getting their funding. :P

Wartard nonsense. Death and destruction should never be cheered.

The death and destruction of ISIS should be cheered though.
Unfortunately innocent civilians are always caught in the middle.

Hopefully they'll be bombed back to the 7th century....oh wait.
