BTW, Dax, did you like that sex jihad story we planted? People eat that crap up.

link?

[felix rex]

Quit being a pussy and just google ISIS jihad sex.

[michigancat]

Oh man. ISIS congratulated Messi for vanquishing Iran and invited him to "join the jihadist call.”

Honestly these guys seem like a treat other than the possible ethnic cleansing.

[michigancat]

the sex story does seem kind of made up

Yeah, it's entirely fabricated. Every time an Islamic/jihadist group makes trouble, some government plants a version of this story about them.  It's how the game is played. It works because it undermines their stated moral high ground and because their opponents want so badly to believe it. It's salacious and juicy and also super racist/orientalist and taps into so many politically useful public prejudices.

I saw several "christian" sites pretty fired up about it.

It's pretty fascinating how the destabilization of Syria has created a Pakistani Tribal region style sanctuary for the ISIS/ISIL or whatever they're called today.

The daily FP update was filled with quotes about how there's really no way to stop ISIS/ISIL aka Jihadist Sex Fiends if Only for a Few Hours militarily without attacking those sanctuaries.   Of course Syria launched air strikes today into the "border" area between Syria and Iraq.

Hasn't all this happened all over Africa and south east Euro already

[sonofdaxjones]

Lowest workforce participation rate since they started the statistical measure.  But retiree's tho.     

Then again, it's only 6 years of Obama, so, using the Obama:  Nothing is our fault Meter.

Nothing is Obama's fault.

The economy is just one of many disasters they will inherit.

I wish people would stop blaming Presidents for the economy.

They don't force people to hire and fire or outsource every tiny component.

The private sector has made the decisions to suppress wages, move jobs overseas, and in turn lower our economy.

Sometimes I wonder what Obummer was thinking when he invaded iraq

Your basic policies are actually created in Congress.   The cheap money flowing would be great for investment, but companies just don't invest here like they used to.

You can't lay blame to one single person, especially one without dictatorial control.
