bunch of camel humping, 3rd world farmers
Most "Merican" thing I heard all day.
You got me there. It was an American depiction of them but true enough, they worse behind the wheel. Have you seen them drift? Psycho!!
For real though. How much money is spent on the US military? How many conflicts have they won this generation? It is a knee jerk reaction to assume the US is going to "reign hell on evil doers". And then everyone likes to have fun with it like it is something funny... "bombs with cameras" so we can stay home and be fat and watch it all on TV, and hey "draw colourful fingers on" cause it makes us feel tougher while we sit at home, fat and getting our ass kicked by our own government daily.
You people don't even put up a fight. Your dancing under a net of stupidity, laughing and *snip*
It's sad that you think the recent events in Iraq and Afghanistan are truly indicative of the military might of the US.
Politicians and the media were the reason we "lost to a bunch of camel humping farmers." Simple fact is: we were fighting a war that couldn't be won and we were wasting money and lives on people who didn't want to be helped. We never should have been there in the first place but you can thank Washington D.C. and the military industrial complex for that. The people serving in the military have nothing to do with the situation so you can direct your disrespect and ridicule where it belongs instead of looking like an ignoramus.

Why don't you take it there yourself tough guy. Oh, that's right Americans, talk a bunch of *snip* about strength and honour, and then take 10 years to lose to bunch of camel humping, 3rd world farmers, and create a dozen more enemies to lose to in the future.
The US military uniform is kind of like a dunce cap now days.
That was me that gave you a star.... by accident
Violators will be held accountable.

I do not find this outrageous or surprising to be honest. ISIS fancies themselves a state, as evidenced by their claiming to be a state, but also by some of their actions such as pushing for an embassy in Turkey. I think that we should continue to expect such things. I think it is possible that ISIS wishes to present its best face to the rest of the world, not because they care what other nations think, but because they wish to paint a certain picture that is good for recruiting new fighters. The more individuals they can draw into their diabolical plan, the stronger they will be and the greater their chances for achieving some measure of success in the future. The censorship is likely due to this belief, and there are likely other reasons as well. The demands that were quoted in the opening post did not seem extremely unreasonable, although I did not read the remaining items on the list. What I did read seemed to be no different from what any tyrannical state would do, and the measures remind me of communist nations prior to the collapse of the USSR. What does surprise me is that ISIS is allowing journalists to work with foreign news outlet, although they have placed stipulations on such interaction.

First of all, you do not seem to understand the theory of warfare where guerilla forces are concerned if you think that any military should have been able to waltz into Iraq and win an asymmetrical war right out of the blue. And theoretically the US has won the war Iraq, given their objectives were obtained. Achieving your objectives equates with winning, NOT destroying the forces you are fighting, but again, if one is ignorant regarding the theoretical side of warfare then such incorrect statements should be expected. Your misguided anger and your so elegantly contrived insults are doing nothing but putting this thread on the fast track to derailment. Your statements have really forced me to reply, mainly because of your ignorance of Americans and the Iraqis fighting them, and you are actually mimicking with your attitude these same types of Americans you apparently cannot stand, which is what Lysergic meant.
My advice is that, for the future, don't refer to people as "camel humpers," and don't attempt to pretend that all Americans are "this" or "that." If you had any knowledge of America or American politics you would know that the divisions in the US are quite broad, as the US is a very diverse nation. And don't substitute personal attacks for a genuine argument, as your appeal to emotion is likely giving readers a bad opinion of you, and nobody wants that. If you do not care about what people think please have some courtesy for the rest of us by not making such statements. If you truly believe the things you say, which are not facts, you should back them up with arguments, but seeing as how this thread is not the place for such arguments, you should refrain from using such statements since they cannot be defended without taking the thread off-topic.

They must be running low on journalists to behead.
All the anti-americans over at MSNBC should get sent there, tell them it is for the ratings.

But.... you just described the circumstances for every conflict the US has engaged in. Why are we cheering for another round? If ISIS is really so bad, then why are they giving the war machine everything they want?
