Any small faction can start at any time. It's whether they are allowed to grow and how they got their weapons. That's all on Obama. |
Where is the Sheik responsible for the death of this girl on that list of cabinet members? Um. Not there. So if he was released in 2004, seems as if he was not a major ISIS leader yet. |

Washington Post article about Baghdadi:
"But the narrative solidifies in 2005, when he was captured by American forces and spent the next four years a prisoner in the Bucca Camp in southern Iraq. It was from his time there that the first known picture of Baghdadi emerged. And it’s also there, reports Al-Monitor, that he possibly met and trained with key al-Qaeda fighters." "But then Syria happened. The civil war there, which left a vacuum of authority in large tracts of the country, fueled a resurgence of the group. The upheaval gave rise to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Over the following years, as many as 12,000 militant Islamists — 3,000 of whom were from Western countries — flocked to the region to fight, according to the Soufan Group, an intelligence consultancy." http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/06/11/how-isis-leader-abu-bakr-al-baghdadi-became-the-worlds-most-powerful-jihadi-leader/ |
I was actually brought up Muslim. Same misogyny, different cloak. Your Western bias is showing, and it's embarrassing. |

It wasn't rape because he made her his WIFE first. Men are allowed to have sex with their wives.

I take it you have never been raped |
Oops.. Another lie uncovered. |
| I don't think the us should rescue anyone who ignores travel warnings. It is unfair to put lives at risk to save you. Maybe people would stop behaving so carelessly. |
I hope you really don't believe that. If so, I hope that you have been a member of the military. Or you have dear ones who are members of the military. And as such, you are okay being treated badly when one of yours and ours are captured. I was looking at a movie based on real life events. It starred Colin Firth. The torture American and British soldiers endured from their Japanaese captures lasted for many them a lifetime. Their bones and body healed upon release, but the psychological damage was never healed for many. Tortureis never good. |
Yep, Big George warned his son, but he couldn't reason with stupid. |
You do know that we have been drone killing their leaders one after another. One goes down, they prop a new one up. |
| Someone (a lot of people) really want to gin up a "more boots on the ground" war with ISIS - as though that would solve the problem. A white lady getting raped really adds to that emotional narrative. |
You can't eradicate ignorance with a bomb. Ending poverty and educating the masses (females first, IMO) will, however. |

Truth is the first casualty of war.
Women are like free game, you go and hunt and take. A womans consent is irrelevant. What did you think war was? |
The power vacuum wouldn't exist without the foolish decision to topple Saddam. The gift that keeps giving courtesy of Bush. |
