ISIS & Heavy Metal In Paris: Motive And Opportunity
Heavy metal in Paris.Eagles Of Death Metal were playing in Paris at the Bataclan Hall to a sold out audience.Enter ISIS. In less than an hour over 300 were dead or wounded.Motive? Heavy metal music by itself could of been the reason. But ISIS claims the attack was revenge for French bombing in Syria.Turnabout is fair play.Opportunity? France is most liberal country in European Union.Consequently their borders and policies are open to all.Rethink both those policies.France didn't call in an airstrike on Bataclan like they might of done in Aleppo or Homs, Syria.Too much expensive real estate and collateral death possibilities in downtown Paris.So what will be the French response? More bombing in Syria? What's left to bomb? It's almost an asteroid now.Last count estimated six to eight ISIS operatives carried off this coup. Probably the whole enterprise cost couple of thousand dollars and the lives of 6-8 throw away people.France's immediate losses ramp into the millions on top of years of peace keeping/bombing runs in Middle East.You do the math.It wont work as a business nor a winning war strategy.ISIS in Middle East has short inexpensive logistics. They are fighting in their homelands.Extermination by the West?We can't kill that fast nor that expansively.We in U.S. experienced 9/11? Did we learn?No.

Public Relations Battle :Brutal Drone Warfare vs ISIS Brutality
Do you think the zombies in the pentagon are worried about ISIS tactic of kidnapping and butchering innocents? ISIS claims its tactic is payback time for drone and aerial bombardment killings. Air strikes of any kind include killing combatants and collateral innocents.Not mentioning collateral environmental damage affected by drone explosive bombs.Public relations reactions are at this time strongly against ISIS graphic beheadings ,setting people on fire and simple kidnapping for slave use.Drone and air strike crime scenes aren't photographed.So pentagon goons can escape most critical inspection.But increasingly ISIS is making the connection. Stop drone and aerial bombardment and we will stop our old fashion gruesome killing tactics.Does any one believe them? I mean will they stop?I don't think they will necessarily stop but they don't have to. They are winning the PR campaign against western meddling and worse in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen and who knows where's next.The pentagon has never come up with a peace proposal in its entire existence.They have no credibility. Therefore they should have a lot less money and goons employed.

Should United States Grant Asylum For Palestinians? Or Should America Bomb Israel?
Today a twelve story apartment building was leveled in Gaza City.Israel used American-made F-16's to destroy the building and kill a few Palestinians as a bonus. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.Next door in Syria the U.S. is making plans to bomb ISIS militants who are using Syria as a base of their operations in Iraq. Syria's Assad gets an American Air Force to do his work. Because ISIS is also attacking Syrian forces. Back to Gaza. Gaza and its 1,8 million inhabitants are running out of infrastructure. Sewage disposal has been bombed by our Israeli allies. Also water and critical medical supplies and facilities have been bombed as well. Does a pandemic of infection wait to make things worse?The U.N. says as many as 500,000 Gazans have been displaced.The facts in Gaza speak a slow motion torture on top of a collective punishment action used by our "ally" Israel. America reaches out to similarly situated victims around the world.In Iraq we bomb ISIS for Israeli-like aggression against Iraqis.Which brings up the question. Should we grant asylum to the Palestinians or would it be simpler to cut off aid to Israel? And if Israel doesn't listen, should we bomb Israel?
How many Nations Has The United States Bombed?
There are 193 member states in the United Nations.Perusing the list left me with roughly the calculation of approximately 154 nations that we as a nation at one time or other have been at war with officially or bombed or fought gratuitously .The fields of battle are too long to list. But a few stand out as stupid engagements. World War I, Vietnam and Iraq immediately come to mind.Iraq is particularly stupid because of its justifications used by our administration.Who can forget WMD ? Weapons of mass destruction were certainly possessed by Saddam Hussein.Why? Because they found invoices and had pictures of "aluminum tubes". There were surveillance photos taken at 60,000 feet of mobile homes that certainly were command and control centers for missile firings of presumed nuclear or chemical or biological weapons. And what about "yellow cake" from Niger? We had Dick Cheney's word that was the smoking gun of nuclear fission war heads.History has pointed out all that evidence was spun lies.Now we have a new yarn to re-invade Iran.ISIS beheaded a journalist.It did happen but the yarn is ISIS will soon be beheading people around the world.That wont happen.But the fact already has given Syria's Assad the use of America's Air Force to help him fight ISIS in Syria.No one will talk about collateral bombing damage.The powers that be want everyone to focus on the beheading as justification for eternal war.
