I thought McCain was the big proponent of arming the anti-Assad militias

He is. So much so that he ran over there and got his picture taken with a bunch of them. Then those guys went on to become part of ISIS and blow up a bunch of kids. Oops.
(I learned that from watching too much Slate on the Guardian.)

McCain lost the election to Obama in 2008.

The problem with dingbat lefties is that they detract from the good causes and good sense of fellow lefties.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem, I'm all ears.
.....
Then why so mad, dad?
ANS Good cause. You step on my rope, you bolt cracks, you litter the belay stations. Clear enough, I hope.
Think before doing (in this case posting) would be a good start toward amelioration. (Do you know this word?)

Yes, per the electoral process, Ward. What (with regard to ISIS) would be different if he had not?

HFCS: I propose aerial application of high-potency LSD in all populated areas held by ISIS followed by an aggressive air-drop of paper-format XXX porn. But that's just me.

No one knows the answer to that question --- it is just this side of meaningless as far as this issue is concerned.
On the other hand we know what the current President did. It is not in the realm of worthless speculation.
Keep your eye on the ball.
This is no time to defend a miserably stupid series of incompetent actions.

Now you're talkin...

Yeah, that would be awesome! Break down the pales. Push the envelope.
Culture shock!
For the coup d'ι·tat, could we air drop in Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber and that twerking chick? lol!
Talk about stirring the pot! My kind of Renaissance 2.0!!

I'm still looking up supercilious so give me a few. I'm assuming it means "thinking you're superior to others" because you've got this whole ironic advice gimmick (which I'm still totally loving).

So, please help me to understand your point here, Mr. Trotter: is it that Obama is in league with ISIS, or just too limp to do the right thing and get back in there on the ground?
And yes, HFCS, I think a USO-style pop-culture pomp and bombast ceremony for our newly installed regional strongman, Kanye Middle East, might just cap off the solution perfectly. I mean, the poor guy doesn't really know opulence until he's got Saddam's Au AK, does he?

JB, speaking of butthurt... are you still? since learning you're an automaton? Please, save it - your personal grievances against science, science edu, religious criticism, etc. - for another thread or your local bar, this thread should be about ISIS or the Caliphate.

Isis....oh, I thought this was about Tackle's route on Denali.
funny, I thought it would be about Archer
Muslims are wack. I'll say it. Totally get "the beef" with 'Murrica, but beheading d00dz is decidedly un-fly.
Totally down with Palestine, however. They somehow show adequate restraint: instead of executing Western journalists, they merely throw stones at tanks and accept Israeli-fired rockets.

Because someone posted gruesome pictures on it that I thought were unnecessary.
It's still there in the archives if anyone wants to reference it (incl the first post which I subsumed under my second post). Bottom line: All I was suggesting there is the Caliphate ambition is something to pay attention to under the Current Affairs Studies category.
.....
No JB, you're on nothing less than a wild goose chase with that one. My passion is science and science education - just as yours might be climbing, I don't know. When someone pisses on it, though, I get involved. It's as simple as that.

stuffed shirt misanthrope
Notice who's doing the name calling here. Speaks volumes in itself. Between you and the Lapdog, there's not much left.
What you and the Lapdog might remember - or really learn for the first time in your lives - maybe ? - is that science isn't just another ideology but in fact a description of how the universe REALLY works.
Insofar as you have a beef or two or thre, it should be with nature itself - not science not me or any scientist - we're just the messengers.
Maybe some "growing up" on your part is called for here.

Most of the people on Earth want to live in peace and enjoy life with their family and friends.
Duh.
Then there's the utopian sh#t disturbers who go on about a new way of being human.
Yeah, you mean like Stalin, Hitler, Bush and Cheney and other neocons and Evangelicals, and now ISIS.
autonomism...
You can't even spell it, lol!
I bet you were a friggin bully in high school, yes? You waste my time.

What's the common theme here? None of those guys got none as teens and then
they really went into tailspin, pardon the pun. If you ain't gettin' none
then you gotta come up with some reason to justify why you still ain't.

I've been warning you asshats for years about this sh#t.
And yet, I get called an Islamophobe, hater,. etc...
You will not take it seriously until it hits your city, or God forbid, your family. Like the Boston bombing.
Kill them all THERE before they get here. We DO have a wide-open southern border. It's not hard to get into this country.
This sh#t should be common f*#king sense! Wake up!!!!
