Happy Days

The two links I posted are the best I have found, as to what ISIS wants, & where they came from. This video of the Author of " the Atlantic " article is enlightening. I think it is important we have an idea of who they are, & what their philosophy is. And we should do this without too much emotion. We should also understand that the majority of Muslims do not agree with their philosophy. I am impressed with members approach to this post, good work, guys.
the first link didn't work. Scroll down to the video.

Paris seems pretty organised. There were several terrorist with weapons who all attacked at once but in Australia, a lone bloke goes into a cafe with a gun, a lone bloke shoots a police IT guy. It didn't seem very well planned or thought out.

Happy Days

Last night's 4 Corners suggested that things might be a bit more organised in Australia than most of us probably believed.

9/11 orchestrated by the US. (begin operation TERRORIST)

Iraq was invaded based on a lie. (Get US friendly people there so a future gas pipeline is possible)

Saddam the elected man was kicked out as was his party.(yes democratically elected although i do believe he did kill people who were opposed to him.)

ISIS was formed.

Had the US and its allies not gone to Iraq to boot an elected man out of office based on a lie there would be no ISIS.

@Pickles. You did not reply to what i posted earlier.
The quote from that former Supreme Allied Commander.
Is he a liar? Is he unreliable?
Dont take my word for it but please Pickles do comment on that.
Here i will post it again for you incase you forgot.

"General Wesley Kanne Clark, Sr., former Supreme Allied commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) during the war against Yugoslavia and presidential candidate, revealed recently on CNN that the Islamic State (ISIS) was ?funded by our friends and allies in order to fight Hezbollah."

So you said i had to give you some proof of the US funding ISIS.
Is General Wesley Clarks comments enough to change your mind?
The first video posted here is done by who? A credible person with credentials like Clark or is it just a presenter?

I know who i believe.

And so it begins. What a pity.

You posted the damn thread. Im just giving my point of view.
What did you expect?
"And so it begins"
Its a bulletin board. You post controversial threads and are shocked when people have opinions contrary to you?

This forum is getting harder and harder to stomach.

Perhaps you could give your point of view some where else, then?

Yes, I agree, if the U.S. had not gone into Iraq, there would be no Isis,....but there very well may have been something else,...there always is in this part of the World, is there not.
Your point about Clark's funding comments are probably true too, BUT, and you need to read what I say too,...things change, ideals of groups change, others "infiltrate" groups, they become the majority, and WHAMO, this "Group" evolves into something totally different to what it was concieved as,...TOTALLY. And, there is NO WAY that the U.S. is in any way currently funding what is currently known as ISIS. You have produced absolutely no evidence to the contrary, and there was also no mention at all of any U.S. funding etc in Bob's clip, simply because it's not happening.
