That's Not Entirely Fair. . .

They Want to Kill Us All

People need to understand what this means:

Islamic State militants have released a video depicting the murder of British aid convoy volunteer Alan Henning, three weeks after warning that he would be the next to die.
Henning is the fourth western hostage to have been killed by the group, following the filmed beheadings of US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and Scottish aid worker David Haines.
A further hostage, Hervé Gourdel, from Nice in France, was murdered by Jund al-Khalifa, a group with links to Isis, on 24 September.

Aid workers and journalists are non-combatants. When the Islamic “militants” (a euphemism that our decadent media prefer to “terrorists”) are publicly murdering Western non-combatants, what is the intended message? What do these killers intend to convey to us, in the West, as well as to their audience in the Islamic world?

It should be apparent that these Muslims, by their deliberate and premeditated killings of helpless civilians — including people who had come to provide humanitarian aid to Syrians suffering in the civil war there — are saying to their fellow Muslims:

“KILL THEM ALL! Death to all the Americans!

Death to all the British! Death to everyone

everywhere who does not join the worldwide

Islamic caliphate! Kill the women! Kill the children!

Spare no one! KILL THEM ALL!”

What the ISIS “militants” are doing, in other words, is exhibiting the attitude of murderous ruthlessness they consider necessary to their success, and which they wish other Muslims to emulate. . .

I have a solution to the ISIS crisis. Put every boot and  tank on the ground we can muster, any plane that can fly, and KILL THEM ALL!  No quarter. The world does not respect weakness and ISIS has demonstrated absolutely no regard for the civilized virtues of modern combat, by publicly and brutally executing non-combat troops.

There is historical precedent. For long periods of WWII, the US and Japanese ground forces maintained an unofficial policy of not granting quarter.  Japanese soldiers often fought to the death in the face of possible capture, rarely took prisoners and often executed captives when it was inconvenient to keep them. We won that war, and in the process, made Japan a more civilized nation.

Oh, and we have the first official US casualty of Obama's war on ISISL.

A Marine lost at sea after bailing out of a MV-22 Osprey when it appeared it might crash in the Persian Gulf is believed to be the first American military casualty in support of U.S. operations against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

Cpl. Jordan L. Spears, 21, was declared dead after search and rescue efforts to locate him were unsuccessful, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command said in a statement released Saturday.

Asked how Spears death will be classified, Pentagon spokesman Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby told reporters the question was still being decided.

Yes, I am aware that under my plan, many more troops will die. But at least, those deaths will serve something beyond getting the Democrats past the midterm elections.
