al-Zawahiri declares war on ISIS Caliphate
I’m sure at this minute, someone in the pentagon is preparing a proposal that describes how we’ll be supplying both sides with weapons. Anyway the leader of al Qaeda, Doc al-Zawahiri, declared war on the Islamic Caliphate, otherwise known as ISIS/ISIL/Islamic State, back in the Spring, but the audio of the announcement was released this morning, according to ABC News;
“It’s pretty interesting,” said former National Counterterrorism Center Director Matthew Olsen. “Zawahiri until now has not been willing to openly condemn Baghdadi and ISIS. It highlights how deep the division is between al Qaeda leadership and ISIS. It suggests that the differences are irreconcilable.”
Had ISIS and al Qaeda realigned by joining forces, it “would be terrible,” said Olsen, an ABC News contributor.
If I’m not mistaken, the Taliban declared war on ISIS a few months ago and they’ve been fighting over control for dominance over the Afghan shit hole. I really don’t see how this changes anything, but I’m sure that the White House will call it one of their great victories over…whoever. Oh, wait;
Though it didn’t foresee the rise of ISIS, former CIA Director Michael Hayden said the intelligence community had predicted a rift in al Qaeda emerging after bin Laden’s death — something like what’s happening now between ISIS and al Qaeda, which the U.S. could use to its advantage.
For years, we were told that killing bin Laden would accomplish nothing, but those same folks who told us that are now claiming responsibility for the rift.

Popcorn!
It is time for more popcorn!
Obozo said he was going to push for more training for ISIL…isn’t tht nice?
They only have two responses – “He got Bin Laden” and “It’s Bush’s fault!” Guess they couldn’t figure out a Bush spin on it yet.
I keep seeing Montgomery from the Ike and the D-Day film where Monty is speaking in front of assembled dignitaries and talks about how he bested Rommel, his one and only claim to fame.
Monty didn’t so much win but outlasted Rommel as the Nazi’s had all but abandoned the North Africa campaign.
I have but two words to say about Montgomery: Market Garden.
Drop mic.
thats funny!!!!!
El Alamein.
All the more reason we should just take all our toys, go home, stay out of it, and let them destroy each other. Or better yet just redeploy the assets to Isreal to help them defend against any spill over.
**THIS**
Let them kill each other off. I no longer care. And those refugees? Take in the women and children, put the kids in school, teach them EU/US/CAN ways, put the women to work, and SEND THE MEN BACK TO FIGHT FOR THEIR HOMELAND.
I am tired of this shit.
I say let ’em off each other and then NUKE the place to take care of any survivors.
Word
We cannot stay out of it. They will simply bring it to us on their terms.
You’re SUCH a positive thinker, Cox.
I’ll get the cheesecake and chocolate sprinkles. Who wants cheeseburgers?
Me, ME! Can I get extra bacon on MY cheeseburger? 😀
Fried onions, bacon, and bleu cheese.
Of course, you can. I’m also thinking of a huge order of KFC extra crispy, mashed and gravy and several other sides. And BYOB.
Should I consider replacing one of my dead TVs by next spring? If this is going to be on the news, I might want to watch Al Fallujah burning. Is anyone over there going to blow the Mosul Dam, by any chance?
What the….
Behold! The field in which I grow my fucks. Lay thine eyes upon it, and see that it is barren.
This is the first commandment and the second is like unto it.
Thou shalt not wander in my field of fucks, if thou art impure and inebriated for thou shalt fall down upon thy inglorious face and lie in mud like the swine thou art.
And the third doth follow:
Thou shalt carry thy weapon aimed skyward when thou dost enter my field of fucks, for shouldst thou aim it at the dirt with thy booger hook on the bang switch, thou shalt suffer my wrath endlessly.
Here endeth the lesson for today.
God Damn you’re sexy when you spout words O’wisdom!
Hey Chip. That was great. Do you have one with a rolling donut?
ISIS, Taliwhackers, Al Que-i-e-i-o,
all same-same to me.
Nuke ’em all from orbit until they glow, then shoot the survivors in the dark.

The enemy of my enemy should be my pay-per-view profit opportunity.
if I was writing a techno-thriller, the Wiley Agent for the clandestine nameless US Ops Org would now be maneuvering to put Russia in a squeeze between AQ and IS. Sort of a “Vlad meets the tar-baby” story. Polish Intel agents would be be helping us out of sheer bloody-minded “solidarity”.

I was looking to work into it, that bit of timeless Polish wisdom:

Not my circus, not my monkeys.
Al-Baghdadi is laughing his ass off.
Al-Zawahiri is just a mosquito in the extremist world now. HE better watch out that he doesn’t get swatted.
Aren’t you all forgetting one teensy weensy item?
Al-Baghdadi is dead. Been dead for a few months now.
Oh! Maybe this is why Iran needs that nuke deal thingy. They have those helo factories and stuff around Esfahan, and the shipyards where they can build their very own ships, but that don’t mean they can REALLY protect themselves from those nasty guys wearing black pajamas, does it?
Naw. It doesn’t. Hmmm….
It is worth the thought to give both sides weapons and let them fight it out.
Once one side is victorious, think how many less Tomahawks you have to send to kill them off.
Did I mention lately that Allah is a pussy and Muhammad went crazy from licking bat shit off cave walls?
I wish Mr. Al-Zawahiri all the luck in his war with ISIS. he may need it, and I hope he gets exactly what he deserves.
Destro is probably already there selling weapons to both sides.
