according to dutch media belgian intelligence can't keep track of their loonies and only prevented this through working together with mostly dutch intelligence in this case they also have 2-3 times more jihadists than the netherlands despite having 11 million people rather than 16

etalian posted:Yup, the loyal client state of Canada is now the number 1 source of US oil imports: The long term idea was probably to buy oil from the middle east until it started to run dry, then let those countries collapse while we switch to North American reserves and enjoy another hundred years of voracious fossil fuel consumption. I think I once saw a Winston Churchill quote that went something like "For the last 500 years all they've done is ride around on camels cutting each others heads off, and as soon as the oil runs out they'll go right back to doing that."

I read a thing where the PKK is fighting against isis, which is nice because they have a good proportion of female fighters and retardo muslim extremists apparently believe they won't go to pussy paradise if they are killed by a women. too bad the pkk is on the terrorist list too so we won't help them unpacked robinhood fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Sep 21, 2014 |

US admits there is a much scarier terrorist group than ISISquote:New intelligence has emerged warning Washington that its upcoming confrontation with the Islamic State may leave it blind to a more sinister and direct threat from a much lesser known terrorist group that has arisen from the ashes of the Syrian war.

'More concrete plans' means anything more than loudly proclaiming how you'll somehow overthrow the United States, the Pope, and Spain on the internet, correct?

quote:The man thought to lead the group, Muhsin al-Fadhli, was involved in the 11 September terror attacks and was one of Osama bin Laden's top commanders. Beyond that, little is known about the group.  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...is-9747817.html I'm sure he'd get more converts to his cause if he smiled

"The news building at fleet street"?  thats like saying 'the casino building on the Vegas strip'. There were about 30 press firms and publishers there at its peak.You like russian flavoured dick.

In many instances, the American law enforcement and intelligence agencies are learning that Americans are there only long after they have arrived.

See the a-10 is what you use when you dont want boots on the ground. infrared hot molten lead rain. bahahah from the article: The airmen have been through "extensive preparation," the statement said, ranging from "cultural awareness to weapons qualification to medical training." cultural awareness... lmao.
