And is that a threat within the borders of the U.S.? Or does a threat to U.S. overseas interests good enough? This article argues why action against ISIS is justified from an international law perspective: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree......ic-state

So ask the things he did we give him a pass for? Pretty convenient.

The USA wanted to overthrow the al-Assad regime. So the CIA ordered the Muslim Brotherhood to use their variously named guerilla groups to help to do so. The World Leader who is responsible for this bit of trouble is the president of the USA.

(From balducci's reference above): "The use of force in the territory of another state is prohibited under the UN charter and customary international law. However, there are four universally recognised exceptions to this prohibition: UN security council authorisation (it has not acted in this case); consent of the state on whose territory the operations are conducted; self-defence; and collective self-defence." As far as I know, any claim of self-defense has to include imminent danger.

Not that I didn't see this coming, but yesterday at drill, after our flights were done for the day, the senior leadership was looking for "potential future volunteers....." Last time I had heard that I was about 13 years ago, and I was in Afghanistan a few months later. Though the whole "boots in the air" not being boots on the ground is BS. You need lots on the ground to support the Apache helicopters currently being used around Bagdad.

The CIA are in Syria etcetera working with militants from the Muslim Brotherhood to overthrow the al-Assad regime, providing them funds, arms, training and so on. There is some infighting between the groups it seems and some have been running wild been apparently disavowed. The World Leader who is responsible for this bit of trouble is the president of the USA for making war this civil war you might call it.

As always, should you or any of your I.S.I.S. force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

In particular, if they are assisting a state that is under attack that requests aid or perhaps one that is "unable or unwilling" to defend itself.

I pity the USA.
They're ***ed if they do and they're ***ed if they don't. I say go destroy ISIS, those who have the balls do. Those who don't, beatch.

Niigata has worked with the CIA at the Jordanian base used to train Muslim Brotherhood guerrillas under the still secret joint DOD-CIA program that began in 2012. He will train-and-equip around 5,000 new Muslim Brotherhood guerrillas per year. Snipers will be used to shoot random civilians on all sides as normal to cause them fight each other. USA regular military will then go in to seize Russians oil supply under the humanitarian cloak. For some it will be murder, for the Secretary, it will just be another day in the city.
