I thought our army was helping.
Russia is doing what we should have done, but our communist President is too scared to do what's necessary to drive those rats into pin and kill them. I'm a combat vet. 3rd Ranger Battalion, Haditha Dam 2003. What we are doing is not helping. Putin has told Obongo to stay out of the way. And our President left that meeting with fear on his face. Putin has sent in his spetsnaz forces in and ISIS is running scared; hiding in mosques and hospitals, and pretending to be refugees escaping war. How many, Muslim men of fighting age(unvetted),did Obongo say he wanted to bring in? Enough for that civilian army he talked about in the beginning. No we're not helping.
Matthew 26:52
52 Then Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword.
I'll Bow too that it's about time, now moving on too the next grouyps!
Seems also to have coincided with the arrival of American advisory troops...
Sally Forth!
Fantastic news. Now on to destroying ISIS and putting Russia in it's place - Hell
Good. There are more of those vermin around there. I hope some were executed. Our Army should be helping, but Obongo is too busy destroying this country. I'm glad they're dead. I only wish I could have been there to witness it. Send them to me for an extra close shave.
Wow, you're a fucking moron
Go fuck yourself you communist looser.
Good job!
