The war in Syria is the biggest lie of the past decade.

Thanks to Spiridom for the link!



This is an absolutely amazing video.

I don't know the organization that this lady belongs to but damn!  She dealt with that journalist in almost a brutal way.

But let's put that to the side for a moment.  Remember how we were told that the fight against ISIS could take decades?  That was insanity on a plate!  We could roll Iraq's Army in a matter of months (almost a half million men) and yet ISIS would take years?  It didn't make sense when they said it and yet no one challenged them.  What was that?  You don't remember?  Check this out. via The Washington Times.

U.S. leaders must be prepared to fight extremism and radical jihad emanating from the Middle East for “decades,” says a retired Marine Corps four-star general who has spent the past decade on the military and diplomatic battlefields of America’s war on terrorism.
John R. Allen, who served most recently as President Obama’s envoy to the international coalition against the Islamic State, warned in an interview that Washington will be courting disaster if it withdraws from the region any further than it already has.
“The region, as bad as it is, can worsen,” Mr. Allen said in an interview with The Washington Times as part of a special series of articles examining the war against the terrorist group, also known as ISIS and ISIL.
“Absent clear and unequivocal U.S. leadership and the long-term cooperation of the community of nations, we’re condemned to fight for the foreseeable future,” said the retired general, now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington.

The war against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) could last more than a decade, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) told reporters on Thursday.
"I think we do have a lot to debate. Realize this is not just bombing a mountainside or securing a dam. This is a war that we want for another 10, 15 years," said King, of the House Intelligence Committee.
{mosads}When asked whether Congress might rethink defense spending cuts in light of the conflict, King replied, "To do that, I think we have to recalibrate our defense and realize we have to be on a war-time footing when it comes to spending."

President Barack Obama is proposing a new strategy in the fight against ISIS, saying the battle against the Islamic State will not be quick. In fact, he says it could take decades.
During a rare visit to the Pentagon, Obama laid out his revamped strategy, saying the fight against the Islamic State will require more than just weapons.
"No amount of military force will end the terror that is ISIL unless it's matched by a broader effort, political and economic," he said.

Decades to destroy a force that at most numbered 50K when it first burst on the scene?

We've been lied to.

We've been deceived by politicians (expected), military leaders (once unexpected but that is changing fast) and world institutions/nations (expected).

Games are being played and people are losing their lives because of it.  Its ok to be patriotic.  Its not ok to allow yourself to be made an ass of.  If they lie to you that means they don't respect you.

Be advised my fellow citizens.  These people don't respect us.
