1. What better way to condemn brutality than with brutality?! Brilliant!!

[Thinkingabout]

2. Did the bombing allow the group on the mountain top to escape their entrapment?

Did the bombing and ground troops in Iraq allow for the dam's control to be taken back from ISIS?

4. If you know the answers why are you afraid to make statements? nm

[Thinkingabout]

5. Are you following this thread?

[rhett o rick]

10. Yes but apparently you're not if you have to ask questions like, "Did the bombing allow the group

on the mountain top to escape their entrapment?" If you are trying to make a point, why don't you use statements in lieu of insinuating by question?

[Thinkingabout]

11. You think I am not following this thread? Why are you trying to police how I post?

[rhett o rick]

12. I was only trying to help you get to your point. nm

[Thinkingabout]

14. No, I knew what my point was, thinking for one's self isn't bad, I knew the answers.

[rhett o rick]

15. If you know what your point is, that's half the battle. Let me take a guess.

If the bombing helped the group on the mountain top escape then we must continue bombing. Actually it's pretty simple when you put it like that.

[Thinkingabout]

16. BINGO

[onwardsand upwards]

17. I believe that rhett o rick has now taken you to the point of absurdity.

I thought it only polite to point it out.

[Thinkingabout]

19. I love when people can think on their own and find the answers, some

Wants everything given. The truth is when see a post they try to rewrite and tell their own story, yep absurdity. But sometimes the cat likes to play with their prey before the kill.

22. I agree: we should all think for ourselves

Please note, though, that Mr. Brand is speaking factually when he mentions that ISIS was supported, trained, and armed by the US -- just like the Mujahideen in Afghanistan in the late 1970s and the Contras in Nicaragua in the 1980s.

We are being asked to believe (by the corporate media) that the US keeps losing control of its terrorist creations: the Mujahideen morphed into Al Qaeda, and the Syrian resistance morphed into ISIS -- like 2 monsters that Frankenstein created. Ooopsie!!!!

Which do you believe, then: that the US is monstrously and serially incompetent -- or that it has other objectives than "peace and stability" in mind?

[Thinkingabout]

24. To be honest I only listened to a very short portion, not sure where he gets his facts.

At this point in time it is unimportant who trained who, this is a radical group, it isn't just one country who view this group as radical. They have seized an opportunity in Iraq and Syria. Hitler also sought to control the world, he failed, this group will also fail. Some may seek to return to the Seventh century, I live in the world where I have been placed, do not desire to time warp backwards.

[onwardsand upwards]

27. With all due respect ...

I think it is extremely important to understand the source of terrorism. If we try only to treat the symptoms, and not the disease itself, then we are doomed to repeat the symptoms over and over again.

ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the Contras, are symptoms, and corporate control of the US government is the disease.

As a consequence of the disease, US foreign policy has had one central aim since WWII: to maximize the profits of the corporations that run the US government. It is in their interests to have weak national governments (unable to defend themselves against corporate power) and to have eternal war (it's good for arms sales, for oil prices, for companies that service the military, and as an excuse for suppressing dissent and limiting freedoms at home). That's why we see so many well-funded, armed, and organized terrorists in the world.

You do live in the world that you have been placed, and it is understandable that you do not desire to warp time backwards. However, a peek at Orwell's 1984 may not bee such a bad thing, if you want to understand the world you currently live in.

[Thinkingabout]

28. I see where many try to relate all problems to corporations, what was blamed before

Corporations was created. These groups hails from ancestors who has fought for years, what do you think caused them to have war after war?

[onwardsand upwards]

29. The powerful

Historically, the powerful were mainly royalty -- and they made plenty of wars.

Today, the powerful are the very wealthy -- corporations are their instruments, and they make plenty of wars, too.

[Thinkingabout]

30. I personally do not agree with you but you are entitled to your opinion.

[onwardsand upwards]

31. Likewise!

Have a good night ...

[still_one]

3. Damn, it is all Obama's fault again. There wouldn't be beheadings if it wasn't for him

[marble falls]

6. Didn't actually listen to the piece, did you? Just enough to get angry, right?

[BlueStreak]

7. Obama didn't start this. He is just another puppet carrying on the legacy.

[ballyhoo]

8. Pretty much it.

[rhett o rick]

13. Please, that is getting old. nm

[ballyhoo]

9. Man, that was a good one. I firmly believe

every word he said and have the same thoughts about Obama.

[jtuck004]

18. "...What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!..." n/t

[onwardsand upwards]

20. Pointing out the obvious to the oblivious ...

... definitely has some social value, and some comic value.

Mr. Obama is, like every other president since Eisenhower, nakedly a shill for the corporate state -- draped in a gaudy flag.

Mr. Brand points out his nakedness, for all to see -- at least those not completely blinded by the dazzling propaganda machine.

Bravo!!!!

[yuiyoshida]

23. WHY ARE YOU POSTING that here??

THATS for another post... not here. IF SOMEONE posted something here that was taken to A JURY SHOW the results..BUT NO ONE DID. Hello?

[neverforget]

25. sorry I made a mistake.

Calm down. Jeez.

[sadoldgirl]

26. Thanks for the OP,

it is unfortunate that these kinds of analysis are only watched by a very small group.

Perhaps, if we would be allowed to see the results of only two of our bombs, people might think twice about their effectiveness. I for what it is worth think that we just allow ISIS to get more and more recruits.
