Muath al-Kasaesbeh burned alive by ISIS?
Reuters reports that Mu’ath al-Kaseasbeh, the Jordanian pilot who was shot down and captured just before Christmas was burned alive by ISIS members according to ISIS supporters.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the five images, which showed a burning man standing in a black cage. Kasaesbeh has been in Islamic State captivity since his plane crashed over Syria in December.
Anyone who flies F-16s against ISIS is my brother.
ADDED at 3PM: It seems to be true, according to the Washington Post;
President Obama, speaking to reporters in Washington, said he was not yet briefed on the details of the video, but he called it “just one more indication of the viciousness and barbarity” of the Islamic State.

That’s it.
Unleash the ICBMs.
/Mom jeans would never hurt a fly
Looking at what he’s done to our country and particularly our military since he’s been in office, Chip, I wouldn’t say he would never hurt a fly. I would say he hurts who he wants to hurt.
Islamic terrorists don’t appear to be on his “A” list.
Lets see how long it takes for Jordan to hang that female terrorist.
Word has it that they have already moved her to the prison where death sentences are carried out.
Death sentence is to be carried out “within hours” of her and 5 other terrorists. Six to one exchange is a start…
They should make the noose out of concertina.
Or “The Won”B nor C list. Move on people no savages or terrorists here. Joe
While FAE is technically in the no no box.
The folks need an intro.
Very effective and widely unheard of.
Is that by the same sort of international convention by which we don’t use soft-tip or hollowpoint bullets, napalm, CS, WP, and land mines? Think every stinkin’ one of ’em says “you can’t use this against any country’s military” in one way or another. We’re not fighting a national military – the only reason we abide by restrictions like this is because we voluntarily restrict ourselves, I think. Hondo, haven’t you read the various accords? Can you correct/confirm?
Great way to reduce obstacles, with some side effects.
“The [blast] kill mechanism against living targets is unique–and unpleasant…. What kills is the pressure wave, and more importantly, the subsequent rarefaction [vacuum], which ruptures the lungs…. If the fuel deflagrates but does not detonate, victims will be severely burned and will probably also inhale the burning fuel. Since the most common FAE fuels, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, are highly toxic, undetonated FAE should prove as lethal to personnel caught within the cloud as most chemical agents”
And the reason we abstain from using them against non material targets.
“In urban settings it is very difficult to limit the effect of this weapon to combatants, and the nature of FAE explosions makes it virtually impossible for civilians to take shelter from their destructive effect.”
Which makes it a perfect weapon to clean out an ISIS rats nest.
Dear God.
‘Anyone who flies F-16s against ISIS is my brother.’ Yes.
Agreed.
This conflict is going to make some unusual buddies. What was it the man said?
“…the only way to achieve peace between mankind is if aliens attacked…”?
Well, not aliens exactly, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a silver lining to this dark cloud. Imagine a bunch of nations who wouldn’t be caught dead in each other’s company are compelled to cooperate.
Either that or it’ll just fizzle out and fade into the background of eternal assymetric conflict between everyone.
Barbaric. Literally.
Rest in peace, Lieutenant.
As long as we keep trying to play nice with these assorted vermin, the vermin will keep killing. And multiplying.
Those dumb bastards have done it now. Jordan doesn’t play by the same rules that we do and they aren’t afraid to unleash a shitstorm of revenge against those animals; starting with hanging that woman terrorist.
The motherfuckers…..It’s time to reactivate the ARC LIGHT B-52 strikes and teach this evil a lesson they won’t forget, or won’t live to tell
Fair Winds and Blue Skies brother Airman
I agree wholeheartedly.
send Michael Moore in to recon the target area on the ground
While ISIS brutally murders innocent civillians, forced conversions to Islam, and instances like this where they brutally execute prisoners as a form of propaganda…we sit by, and “play by the rules”. Screw that, and the worst thing this country did as a whole was to re-elect that impotent and sorry excuse for a CiC. He cannot take off the gloves, since he was born wearing them.
US: Let’s write a strongly-worded statement condemning this barbaric act and declaring that we stand with Jordan.
Jordan: Unleash hell on ISIS and anyone in custody associated with them.
It’s a good thing that ISIS aren’t terrorists, according to the White House.
This whole thing is disgusting and these pork-eating sons of motherless pigs need to be purged from this plane of existence.
The word ‘viciousness’ was actually used by bodaprez, but that’s all he did.
Wow, he used a strong word like that! ISIS must feel really bad about how they acted.
US: P.S.- Let’s start a hashtag campaign on Twitter, too- #Barbaric #WeStandWithJordan
I hope that Jordan returns the favor.
Jordan is a stabilizing influence in the Middle East. The Egyptians, Saudis, Syrians, and Iraqis don’t like Jordan because of some stuff from the 48 and 56 wars and the fact that Jordan make a peace treaty with Israel before any of the others. But Jordan still has a lot of Palestinians and they have a border with the west bank, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia.
There was a story from the 80s. I recall that this happened in Lebanon. Hezbollah kidnapped a lot of people in the 80s, one of them was a Soviet diplomat. The Soviets kidnapped a Hezbollah member, cut off something important (the part varies but the “cut off” part doesn’t), and delivered the part to Hezbollah. The Soviet citizen was returned and Soviet citizens remained untouched for the next ten years. I don’t know if that story is true, I want it to be true. I think that the moral is clear, “don’t do anything to me that you don’t want to suffer for yourself”. This is how the rules are set.
I think that someone, like Jordan, need to explain the rules to ISIS. Enter the black cage.
Clearly the US is far too prissy to do something as simple and effective as that. After all, we have laws that ISIS can hide behind. See how well that is working out for us?
responding to myself:
http://articles.philly.com/1986-01-15/news/26052630_1_hostage-crisis-soviet-captives-islamic-liberation-organization
I had some details wrong the the moral stands. That story was published in 1986.
Richard…A big Roger That! I only hope we video tape what we do and send it to Al-Jazerra. I hope the Jordanians do the same.
But when our administration finds it difficult to even give a bad name to these murdering bastards and call them what they are or declare we are truly at war with them and intend to kill all of them and their families and neighbors, we will continue to be a laughing, running joke to ISIS and countries like Russia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Group
Six years later, in October 1985, Alpha Group was dispatched to war-torn Beirut, Lebanon. The Kremlin was informed of the kidnapping of four Soviet diplomats by the militant group, the Islamic Liberation Organization (a radical offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood). It was believed that this was retaliation for the Soviet support of Syrian involvement in the Lebanese Civil War. However, by the time Alpha arrived, one of the hostages had already been killed. Through a network of supporting KGB operatives, members of the task-force identified each of the perpetrators involved in the crisis, and once identified, began to take the relatives of these militants as hostages. Following the standard Soviet policy of no negotiations with terrorists, some of the hostages taken by Alpha Group were dismembered, and their body parts sent to the militants. The warning was clear: more would follow unless the remaining hostages were released immediately. The show of force worked, and for a period of 20 years no Soviet or Russian officials were taken captive, until the 2006 abduction and murder of four Russian embassy staff in Iraq. However, the veracity of this story has been brought into question. Another version says that the release of the Soviet hostages was the result of extensive diplomatic negotiations with the spiritual leader of Hezbollah, Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah, who appealed to King Hussein of Jordan, and the leaders of Libya and Iran, to use their influence on the kidnappers.
Не протяжении 30ти лет мне говорили, что не проводилось никаких военных операций на юге Ливана. Мы не нуждались в присутствии русско говорящих военных ни в 84ом ни в 85ом. Наше участие там прекратилось в Феврале 84го. Почитай книги по истории. Ничего после этого не было. Похоже ты запутался в том, что происходило, так же как Хиггинс (Higgins). Может стоит обо всем этом спросить Артура (Arthur) как-нибудь. Есть слух, что он еще пока жив-здоров и невредим. Semper Fi.
Russian message to Hezbollah:
Hey assholes! You don’t get to torture our our people, dammit! Only WE get to torture our people!
But all the progs in Hollywood told me that Chris Kyle was a racist for calling those people savages!
Could it be that they were {gasp} wrong?
If they said it, it must be true.
Assholes.
ISIL/IS must want a real war very badly.
They are not human. They are not even animals. They are just things that kill on command, like robots.
Has the White House/State Department issued a statement yet deploring this despicable and cowardly act? That’s important. It’s especially important that someone say that Islam has been hijacked by these criminals, that most of Islam is repulsed by the many beheadings that preceded this burning, that blah, blah, join with all peace-loving people…blah, blah…solidarity…blah, blah…unity..blah, blah…bring to justice…not sleep…blah, blah, blah.
Yes, the word ‘viciousness’ was used once. That is all.
Words from the character Pimpernel Smith seem appropriate for ISIS.
“You will never rule the world… because you are doomed. All of you who have demoralized and corrupted a nation are doomed. Tonight you will take the first step along a dark road from which there is no turning back. You will have to go on and on, from one madness to another, leaving behind you a wilderness of misery and hatred. And still, you will have to go on… because you will find no horizon… and see no dawn… until at last you are lost and destroyed.”
We can get to that “lost and destroyed” part anytime now. They’re long overdue, in my opinion.
It literally hurts my heart to see this. Peace to the LT and his family and the people of Jordan.
We are in a war to the knife. Until that moron in the White House understands that, the US will keep half-stepping.
And this kind of barbarism will remain in effect. Alas, I see no change until January, 2017. More’s the pity …
Wonder what fat fuck Michael Moore has to say about this
His ‘reasoning’ would be that ISIS is the victim of (whatever, fill in the blank), and not the pilot they burned to death.
I propose a new acronym, That Fat Fuck Michael Moore – TFFMM or f2m2. What say you?
I say who give a fuck what that asshole thinks?
If he ever had any decency, it left him a long time ago.
Apparently he needs a better staff.
“It also indicates the degree to which whatever ideology they are operating off of, it’s bankrupt.”
http://weaselzippers.us/213012-obama-comments-on-jordanian-pilot-burned-alive-doesnt-know-what-ideology-islamic-state-follows/
If they ever act on US soil, God have mercy on them if he sees fit, BUT I WON’T!!!
Now would be a good time to help uphold a campaign promise – start emptying Guantanamo.
I’d say 10 of ’em, suitably weighted, in deep water – with a warning that the next ISIS prisoner execution buys 100.
The boats sounds good to me.
What boats? That’s why God made 130s. Or even Gooney birds.
“The Boats”

Enlightenment!
It’s time to put Harvard chemist Julius Feiser’s product back to work, if the turds in ISIS/IL wish to see what fire actually looks like we can teach them how 1800 degrees changes your nation and your hiding places into fiery pits of death.
It’s not likely to happen though when the president’s staff can’t even ascertain what the ideology behind the islamic state might be….what a pile of jagoffs at 1600 PA Ave these days.
He will be avenged at dawn on Wed.
http://news.yahoo.com/jordan-execute-female-bomber-wednesday-191536008.html
I say we turn the entire area for 10 miles around where this happened into a plate of glass, then let Jordan come in and chip it apart for commemorative plates.
Can’t happen soon enough.
agreed – where did it happen? That’s the problem, we know what happened but not precisely where. I suppose in our ignorance we would be tempted to target any largish troop concentrations we could find.
And VoV has an excellent point – they use burning, WE use burning. Flamethrowers, napalm… that’s some evil shit. Sounds about right.
Will incendiary bombs be okay?
Yes you drop those first and the second wave of bombers drops the napalm into the fires started with the incendiaries earlier. The temperature at ground level can get over 1500 degrees in the resulting firestorm…very effective at illustrating what hell might be like for our islamist enemies.
Oderint Dum Metuant
VOV, I took Latin and so did you, but not everybody else took conversational Latin.
However, I will add my family’s motto to what you said: Vigila et Ora.
I wonder how it would go if they were to firebomb the outer part of the city, and outer ring, and let it slowly burn inward? I would think of it as an intro for those animals, they’re eventually going to be burning for a very long time!
Dig a moat around it first. Carpet bomblets will work for that.
Then follow with napalm and plough the roads.
And remember to set their confiscated oil wells on fire, too.
The armed forces need live fire training areas. I think Islamic State is a good place to do this.
No need to annoy people or critters here in the USA. Just send the training units there, and light ’em up.
Think Fort Irwin NTC, with better special effects and fewer range police calls.
Thinking of B52s with loads of cluster bombs(is that the that opens up and drops 100s of bomblets all over the area) and seal the border for the SEA. The other dream is many flights ofB52s with loads of nape. Nowhere in the Koran is anything about burning your emenies . This should make the Jordanians outraged and fight harder. RIP in Peace Lt. . Joe
I was thinking that it’s sometimes a pity that we are too civilized for the eye for an eye thing nowadays.
#DanielABernathNeedsHisMeds
My spidy senses are telling me that Jonn is up to something letting the infamous e-lawyer post here all of a sudden. Rope-a-Dope time?
Daniel A. Bernath is a Self-Roping type of Dope!!
#DanielABernathKarmaCometh
132.79.7.15, the IP he posted above in the FB comments resolves to a place about halfway between Bern and Lucern Switzerland. Whoever is posting from a US Military Base in the middle of Switzerland, you’re in big trouble mister!
They also have two hundred visits in the last seven days.

Kill them all. Savages. On a brighter note follow this link to watch a savage get blown 30 feet in the air at the 25 second mark.

That was great. One commenter asked whether he stuck the landing! Another prescribed 800 ml of Motrin. What a scream.
Oh, and I forgot. Eat a dick Bernath.
RIP Lt.
Your country is arranging for your honor guard…
I would now like to take the time to say fuck you to Pelosi and all the other liberal idiots that pushed that CIA report to be published. These are the people you are supporting; people who burn other people alive. I don’t want to hear a goddamn peep from any of those liberal congresscreatures about “standing strong” or “this is a tragedy”. Nothing. You fucking sub-human pieces of amphibian shit have actively aided the enemy. I hope you all sleep peacefully tonight knowing that, dicks.
Japan has also said to expect retaliation.
Japan.
As I recall, they know something about swords, brutality, and about the value of surprise.
Where is the popcorn? This could get interesting! If next month Abe says “Yes, Japan is a Nuclear power. And Yes, that large glowing crater in the Mideast is proof.” It would not surprise me at all.
Or, if a couple platoons of SDF/Coasties run amok in a few sandy places, swords flashing and heads rolling in the best Jedaigeki fashion, vids posted widely, it would surprise me not at all.
Japan has centuries of martial tradition, corked by a single world-class ass kicking, tempted by a looming neighborhood threat, and resuscitated by a stupendously stupid jackass barbarian move. And no one currently in Washington has the stones or stature to say, “don’t you dare”.
They also weren’t averse to vivisection without anesthetic. Look up Unit 731
Personally I’d be happy to let a Japanese Railway company run Gitmo and build rail lines for Fidel. Also can’t they get together the 14th Army for a little party in Mecca like they did in Nanking? I’ sure the Muslim girls would love it.
There is only one way to deal with the ISIS, Taliban, radical muslims in general…
KILL THEM ALL and let Satan eat their souls.
LT you did your job bravely, maybe we can now summon the courage to do ours.
Now let me issue a challenge to mr. bernath. if you have such reach and power publish the names of the individuals you have caught and had punished! I call bullshit on the field! By the way, you can redeem yourself by flying to Syria and we will see what happens if you have to land there.
All that sniveling jackass fake CPO Daniel A. Bernath will do is bray about the people he says he got fired and how TAH is about to be taken down with us going to jail. *YAWN*
Its finally gotten time to get truly “old school” Get Medieval on your Ass? No, no sweet cheeks. Its time to get BIBLICAL! With Fire and with Sword like Joshua did to the Caananites. We need to show ISIS just what happens when you go to far. Lt, may God comfort your family as you now rest with Him. Death to All who pervert the word of God!
King of Jordan: “Kill our pilot and we’ll execute your prisoners.”
~follows through within hours~
Obama: “Yeah, they’re pretty bad people, ISIS.”
~wanders off to play more golf~
Excerpts from AP follow-up story this morning:
In Raqaa, the Islamic State group’s de facto capital, the militants gleefully played al-Kaseasbeh’s slaying on big-screen televisions, Syrian activists there said.
The head of Sunni Islam’s most respected seat of learning, Egypt’s Al-Azhar Mosque, even said that Islamic State militants deserved the Quran-prescribed punishment of death, crucifixion or the chopping off of their arms.
“Islam prohibits the taking of an innocent life,” Ahmed al-Tayeb, the mosque’s grand sheik, said in a statement.
U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr., a California Republican, said after a meeting with congressional lawmakers and King Abdullah that the Jordanian monarch had been visibly angry and promised swift and certain retaliation against Islamic State group militants.
“They’re starting more sorties tomorrow than they’ve ever had. They’re starting tomorrow,” Hunter told the Washington Examiner in an interview published online Tuesday night.
Hunter added the king also said: “The only problem we’re going to have is running out of fuel and bullets.”
Note: the female suicide bomber Sajida al-Rishawi and another militant were executed shortly after King Abdullah returned home. Here’s the link to the AP story:
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/jordan-shaken-by-islamic-state-killing-executes-2-inmates/ar-AA8XDuS
As the King of Jordan said: “The only problem we’re going to have is running out of fuel and bullets.”
Load ’em up!
The US is supposed to be a civilizing influence in the world. But only on the basis of Teddy R’s “talk softly and carry a big stick” policies and mentality. The idea of holding a steak in one hand, and a club in the other, while saying, “Here boy, nice rabid doggie.”
But the BodaPreezie doesn’t understand any of that.
So no reply from mr. bernath on the service members he got in trouble for coming to visit TAH. I am sooooo let down now!!! Sounds like your girl was right, you can’t rise to any occasion!! Prove me wrong B!
