    Did not know we jailed the Chinese in WW2. I guess it was after the Chinese bombed Pearl Harbor.

    Well even if he's not trolling, then he's stupid, and replying to a stupid person with the same basic principal of "If you don't believe what I think you should believe, you should get out" is foolish.

    ISIS Beheads American Journalist James Foley in Video Message to U.S.

    ISIS militants released gruesome video footage this afternoon of the beheading of American photojournalist James Wright Foley as a message to the U.S. to stop intervening in Iraq. Foley, a freelancer who contributed to the Global Post, was first captured in Libya in 2012, released, and then kidnapped again around Thanksgiving 2012 by unidentified gunmen in Syria. He was 39 years old.

    Why do you keep spelling it "Moslem" (German spelling)?

    Horrible. These Islamists are like animals, all over the world. Daniel Pearl in Pakistan. James Wright Foley in Syria/Iraq. And many unnamed victims, all over the world - all in the name of Islam.

    ISIS is also threatening to kill another US journalists they are holding. These guys are the worst of the worst.

    Being a war correspondent is one of the most dangerous jobs out there and Foley knew that. He had also been held captive during the Libyan civil war and NBC news just showed an interview where he talked about the danger.

    Even though he knew what he was getting into still horrible and tragic and my heart goes out to the Foley family.

    Islam is so awful, just pure evil.

    Just send some special ops into Iraq with close air support and destroy ISIS.

    We haven't seen evil like this in generations. No one but America can stand up to it.

    Obama needs to go to Congress to get a use of force authorization to hunt and kill every last one of these bastards.

    If at first you don't succeed...

    Iraqi Army Advance to Retake Tikrit From Islamic State Fighters

    Iraqi government forces are advancing to retake Tikrit, Saddam Hussein’s hometown, from Islamic State (IS) fighters, but they’ve been held back by heavy fire from the jihadists.

    Tikrit, 130 miles north of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, was seized by Sunni IS militants on June 11. Since then, it has been controlled by IS forces and members of Hussein’s Ba’ath party, the Guardian reports.

    The Shia-dominated Iraqi troops clashed with IS fighters on Tuesday in the southwest suburbs of Tirkit, six miles outside the city, Al Jazeera reports. Heavy fighting involving IS snipers, roadside bombs and landmines halted the Iraqi advance from the south towards Tikrit.

    "There's a real risk of this becoming a Sunni-Shia war, because the Iraqi army now is dominated by Shia and they're getting the support of Shia militias," Al Jazeera reports.

    Despite the push by Iraqi forces, residents of Tikrit told Reuters that IS forces were still in control on Tuesday...

    Two previous attempts to take Tikrit, the capital of Salaheddin province in northern Iraq, have failed, Deutsche-Welle reports.

    Recently saw a picture of a innocent child decapitated for being Christian and her body shown as a trophy. These @#$% deserve nothing but the worst...

    I have never served in the military...I have nothing but respect and admiration for the brave men and women that have sacrificed their lives for mine...ish like this makes me want to join...just to eliminate these radical scum...

    Once we turn away our attention for even a moment, thousands of these radical bstards come out from no where...There are no codes for these bstards...just some ish they believe that allah told them...makes me truly wonder if the radicalization of Islam is much larger than what we know... The United States of America has to do what Muslims throughout the world can not do...eliminate radical teachings and philosophies of Islam.

    Prayers for the soul of that departed Journalist and his family.

    Perhaps you should fact check some of their claims rather than taking their word for it. If you do, you'll be surprised how much of what they say is just plain wrong.

    I see MSNBC, CNN, and Fox as steaming piles of dung, journalistically speaking. If you are listening to the people on Fox, you are getting only the most biased, partisan, extreme garbage that the right generates. If you listen to MSNBC, you get the same from the left. CNN is good for hurricane coverage.

    They are all about on the same level as YouTube, and I don't take anything said on YouTube as evidence of anything.

    Are you being purposefully obtuse?

    IT ISN'T ABOUT MY BELIEFS AT ALL!!!

    It is about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

    What a maroon.

    When you actually list comments under news articles as one of the places you look for reliable information, you must be a troll. :rolleyes:

    Nobody has to believe in the First Amendment except us. If you want to be American, you have to allow for religious freedom. It is literally the founding principle upon which this nation was built.
