Yeah ISIS...have fun with those fighter jets...for that whole day or two you'll have them before they are unceremoniously shot out of the sky by [insert absurdly superior conventional weapon system possessed by US military]...

Good god, these are not brilliant military strategists. Sure, they scared the shit outta some Iraqi army forces (and lots of those guys who supposedly turned tail and ran were Sunnis who justifiably see al-Maliki as a bastard who isn't worth dying for...), but uh...this is NOT a smart, organized group...

There was a retired general on TV the other day who remarked at how shocked he was that ISIS was already "going conventional"--and I said "HOT DAMN, I WANNA kiss you on the mouth, old guy who actually used military terminology!"

See, this Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (who isnt from Baghdad and isn't named after the first caliph...though I'm sure that he is making that great man is spin in his grave...) thinks he has a real army that will conquer and defend whatever it wants...and that makes him a FUCKING RETARD...

Insurgents and guerrillas, or to use a more familiar reference, the CONTINENTAL ARMY led by GEORGE WASHINGTON, defeat much larger and superior forces by wearing them down...avoiding big engagements or "big unit battles" in favor or ambushes, attacks on supply lines...you know, the sort of things that made us look like total dumb asses in Vietnam and Iraq?

Only after you've worn down a superior conventional army do you "go conventional" like the North Vietnamese did after we were gone, Mao did after fighting the nationalists in China, etc, etc...

So perhaps ISIS thinks that it's okay to go conventional? Or they're just DUMB.

I cannot emphasize how DUMB it is for a little conventional army like ISIS to try and fight like they are right now...remember how easily we steamrolled Saddam's military both times? That's because HE WAS AN IDIOT who tried to beat our military at the one kind of warfare at which it's proven to be any good...

If/when Turkey says "okay...fuck this...you're officially on our nerves," they will wipe their ass with ISIS. It will be like the early stage of the Iraq War but with some random atrocities that the world will decide to overlook (READ: cheer on...), perhaps with some unruly ISIS prisoners getting their heads cut off.

Oh, and when ISIS gets worn down? Oh dear...if the Syrian army is still intact, that sick fucker Bashir al-Asaad will make ISIS's mass executions and beheadings all look like a little kid's birthday party. I mean...brace yourself: that guy is one sick ass ophthalmologist.  

Well everyone...contrary to what we all believe thanks to wishy washy crap made by Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, & Tom Brokaw, this is what an actual war looks like...! There usually isn't a good guy or clear cut villain straight from central casting...nope...just a bunch of assholes who get increasingly desperate and nasty the longer a war drags on.
