`ISIS releases 'Kill List'; Seven Texas cities included........`

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

I never said we were normal. I was more on the line of just come here and f*ck with us. Push comes to shove, I think I got more hillbillies in my family than ISIS has members. And even the girls can shoot. In case you missed it, my paternal family is from the hills around New Market, AL. They can come on up.

Somebody asked if someone had a "plan" in one of these threads. I'm heading for the hills and my family.

Wow, how close is that to Red Bay Alabama? My father was born and raised in Red Bay Alabama!
Small world-- ain't it?
Two of my sisters shoot like experts--other two(youngest two) are only so so.. -Tyr

You live in GA, right? My grandfather was a retired CSM out of Benning with the 7th. Spent quite a few summers in Columbus. My dad was born in Anniston. New Market is 16 miles east of Huntsville. My family owns pretty much the whole valley if you turn left and head towards the Tennessee River. A few "distilleries" around them parts.

I live in Arkansas. Born and raised here, sad ain't it.
But I have traveled around those parts as an adult and visited my father's home turf.
Back in my boyhood home-town--moonshiners were like fleas on a dog's back, back in tha days that was so damn profitable-during Prohibition and long before , and even some since, even up into the 60's.-Tyr

ISIS like to bury bad news under ultra-violence. Everytime they lose a city - videos of beheadings are scattered across social media, death threats and ill intentioned warnings abound...it's notable that in the run up to the Paris attacks, ISIS lost control of the city of Sinjar, and the town of Al-Hawl, cutting off ISIS supply routes in the region, not to mention the apparent killing of Mohammed Emwazi via drone attack.

In in the light of these pretty terrible results for ISIS, a city attack followed, and some death threats -that they apparently were not able to act on in any other way- where made public.
I think their weakness is obvious in their desire to look strong.

I'd be delighted to think of ISIS as weak. But their arrogance and sheer bloodthirstiness is the real truth. YES, they want victories, and they'll happily consider the Paris atrocities as a victory. A form of perverted pride may be involved.

Lefties like to try and find a way of underestimating enemies, and to cause others to. This post of yours, pushing the idea of 'weakness', doesn't this follow such a goal ? Just as the BBC pushed the ridiculous propaganda of their mini-series, 'Power of Nightmares', which tried to convince the viewer that Al Qaeda had only a fraction of its actual strength and quantifiable perniciousness, couching the popular consensus about them as a 'neocon dream'.

So, sorry, Noir. Underestimating an enemy is not a game I'm willing to subscribe to. You deal with enemies most effectively by viewing them in true, accurate terms.

By the way .. a news item, just today .. Jeremy Corbyn, UK's Labour (Socialist) leader, today announced that his position on the police having a 'shoot to kill' freedom if they faced anything comparable to the Paris attack, would be something he would NOT support.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34832023

Jeremy Corbyn says he is "not happy" with UK police or security services operating a "shoot-to-kill" policy in the event of a terror attack.

The Labour leader told the BBC such an approach could "often be counter-productive".

He also declined to answer what he called the "hypothetical question" of whether he would ever back military intervention against extremists.

"I'm not saying I would or I wouldn't," he said.

What a disgusting position to take. However, it does have one 'advantage' going for it ... it fully feeds, operationally speaking, into the notion that there's something 'good' about actions taken in furthering the cause of 'human rights' of terrorists ... if, in committing their acts, terrorists know that no matter what they do, no matter who they kill or maim, they themselves need fear NO likelihood of police killing THEM.

[Perhaps the real weakness, Noir, comes from the extremist Socialist nutters who'll bend over backwards to consider being soft on terrorist scum .. ?]

How nice for them ... if rather LESS nice, for their VICTIMS ....
