Fair point.
I never even give it any thought that ISIL is a more appropriate abbreviation for them, since the Levant has very historical roots in the Arab world.
I don't think it's to do with running Israel into the sea though.
I'm of the belief that if ISIL wanted to do anything about Israel; then there best chance was when Israel were on their bombing campaign of Gaza just recently.
ETA: Any idea how to change the thread title from ISIS to ISIL?
Sorry chipkin wasn't directing at you fella.
You do have a point tho.. I just wanted to put it out there for the some who don't really know about about the L
Great post by the by .
No worries man, I never thought there was any offence directed at me
I'm actually grateful of the video you posted it was an eye opener for me about the "L" instead of the "S", even though I knew what they stood for.
Thanks!
Yeah man
I am just thinking maybe their is more to this then meet the eye maybe. I mean it is Obama.
I was reading a little about this last night and also come arcoss that syria (Iran too) is one of the last independent banks around and Assad is no dumb guy unlike gaddafi and saddam. Not to say he is a good guy too.
Head hurts to much too compute.

The real reason why US is in Syria.........the ISIL has grand plans to spead to all of middle east and then beyond.
This group is murderous, fanatic and treats non-muslims like animals. Ex: Kidnapping Yazdi women and selling them on market as prostitutes. Ex: ISIL has gone about beheading human being as if they were some vegetable.
This group needs to be "nipped in the bud" before we are forced to see more "GORY" acts of bloodshed.
Obama is finally focusing on the right spot. Assad is good in order to cooperate with this despite no formal approval asked for.
Human race needs to go forward, one year at a time...........not backwards by 500 years in few summer seasons.
Unfortunately we will go back 500 years due to what EU,NATO and US are doing right now.

Then why is Assad ok with the airstrikes by foreign nations in his country?

Well then a couple hundred more and we will catch Russia...what a glorious time.
Or we will go ahead when every country is allowed to do trade with whoever they feel like.

ROLMO!! Russia needs a lot stronger air force to challenge NATO. China sure is no help in that department. The Mig and Sukoi are good planes, they just do not have stealth nor the amount needed to challenge NATOs many Gen5 front line fighters. Even during the height of the Soviet Union, every war game had NATO winning the air war by the second or third day. Whoever controls the air wins!
