Another big mouth, small       brain, dares to post those words to demonstrate it.       Read it for yourself, ya ignorant person.

Very       professional, well trained, motivated and equipped. They operate like a state       with a military," said one official who tracks ISIS closely. "These aren't the       same guys we fought in OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom) who would just scatter       when you dropped a bomb near them."              ISIS appeared to have a sophisticated and well thought-out plan for       establishing its "Islamic Caliphate" from northern Syria across the western and       northern deserts of Iraq, many experts and officials have said, and support       from hostage-taking, robbery and sympathetic donations to fund it. They use       drones to gather overhead intel on targets and effectively commandeer captured       military vehicles – including American Humvees -- and munitions.               In sobering press conference Friday, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said       ISIS has shown that it is “as sophisticated and well-funded as any group that       we have seen.”              “They’re beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology, a       sophistication       of strategic and tactical military prowess. They are tremendously       well-funded,”       he said. “This is beyond anything that we’ve seen.”              http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/isis-incredible-fighting-force-us-       pecial-ops-sources/story?id=25116463              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
