Michael Totten on Isis’ next target — 14 Comments

  1. In this report, Michael Totten also notes that the Saudis are funding a three-billion-dollar weapons package that the French will send to Lebanon.

    Since Hezbollah now has by far the strongest army in Lebanon, it’s likely that they will seize these weapons shipments. It’s also likely that Hezbollah will then defend only itself, not Lebanon more broadly, and that ISIS will destroy the Christians and Sunnis.

    What will Hezbollah do with three billion dollars worth of French arms? Why, they’ll attack Israel, of course.

  2. So we should be arming the Christians and the Druze. (Let Iran worry about the Shia.)

    We won’t do that, though, because America is being ruled by enemy traitors.

    I don’t believe for a minute that ISIS is trash talking.

    Maybe Israel will want to go after ISIS

    No ISIS not after isrel or jews they just killing thier folls muslims

  4. No, they’re not talking trash. They have an entirely pragmatic reason for invading Lebanon; encirclement. First of Damascus and then of Israel. Hitting an enemy from more than one direction, so as to make them stretch their resources is basic tactics. Lebanon, lacking a united front, makes for low hanging fruit.

  5. They mean it. And, they are crazy enough to try and do it. The only good thing coming out of this is that some lefties are taking pause at this… the brutality is so horrific. However, that doesn’t mean they will want us to be involved, or to actually fight to victory. This doesn’t end well.

  6. Who’s talking trash? Not ISIS, not Putin, not Hezbollah, not Iran, not ASSad. The trash talkers are all right here, inside the Beltway. And they truly speak only garbage, lower on the scale than trash.
    Any GOPer Senator that approves an Obama nominee on the grounds POTUS is entitled–yes! entitled– to select his own should be summarily shot (That’s heartfelt hyperbole only, dear FBI).

  7. Let not forgot guys this group and who ever under their piarot flag initiated in Syria with help and US Aids to Bashar regime change with Qatari and other gulf billions turned out mass grown over Iraq with proxy Iranian regime that US helped to be in power.

  8. Obama, leading from behind. Way behind.

    Given the quality of Obama’s leadership and effects of his governance, the further behind the man is, the better.

    Obama, leading from behind. Way behind…. with strategic patience!

    There were times when people would call: BS!
    We’re not in such times …
    Too good for too long.

    TWICE!

  10. Dangerous to rational think and rational speak when dealing with mad monks …

    Rabbi Sacks :
    “…we in the West had forgotten the concept of an enemy. Liberal democratic politics and market economics create a certain kind of society, a specific way of thinking and a characteristic type of personality. At their heart is the concept of the rational actor, the person who judges acts by their consequences and chooses the maximal option. He or she believes that for every problem there is a solution, for every conflict a resolution. The way to achieve it is to sit down, negotiate, and do on balance what is best for all.

    “In such a world there are no enemies, merely conflicts of interest. An enemy, says Harris, is simply ‘a friend we haven’t done enough for yet.’ In the real world, however, not everyone is a liberal democrat. An enemy is ‘someone who is willing to die in order to kill you. And while it is true that the enemy always hates us for a reason, it is his reason, not ours.’ He sees a different world from ours, and in that world we are the enemy. Why do they hate us? Answers Harris: ‘They hate us because we are their enemy.’
