ISIS is made up primarily by Iraqis who took advantage of the power vacuum in Syria. To quote Wikipedia:

The group, in its original form, was composed of and supported by a variety of Sunni insurgent groups, including its predecessor organizations, Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) (2003-2006), Mujahideen Shura Council (2006-2006) and the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) (2006-2013), other insurgent groups such as Jeish al-Taiifa al-Mansoura, Jaysh al-Fatiheen, Jund al-Sahaba and Katbiyan Ansar Al-Tawhid wal Sunnah, and a number of Iraqi tribes that profess Sunni Islam.
ISIS grew significantly as an organization owing to its participation in the Syrian Civil War and the strength of its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.






Although there are many foreign fighters in ISIS it is obvious that this an Sunni-Iraqi militant terrorist organization.

And I'll add one were did you give service Finn?

I served 20 years as a Department of Army civilian during which I managed DoD construction projects in Germany for 8 years and consulted on troubled DoD construction projects all over the world from Korea to Japan to Belgium to Panama to the Netherlands to Belgium to Turkey to the Aleutian Islands. In that capacity, I commanded numerous military officers (all Army Captains, FWIW) and wrote my share of OER's for them. I briefed generals in the Pentagon and at HQ USAREUR and personally escorted SecDef Caspar Weinberger through facilities whose construction I managed in the Fulda Gap.

How about you?

I was questioning if Obama will get goaded into deepr involvement by the war mongers McCain and Graham. In fact they had already made several comments in the past two months regarding US non-involvement in Iraq. So are we questioning McCain's credibility? Why not.

The guy that picked Palin as his running mate for the most important job in the world does say a lot about his judgement. YMMV. He had a very good chance of winning simply because Obama was a new comer and inexperienced on the national stage. And he blew it.

So I guess that would bring up the point of questioning the credibility of the idiots that voted for Obama. Right same logic BeamOn

Just look at what we have now to contend with a fucking mess if you ask me.

So you had a job with the federal government, and I'm sure some navy and army pilots had to fly your ass around.

Finn, your professional accomplishments are of course pretty much the sort of thing I'd expect, given the knowledge and competence you always show here. But there's no point in sharing info with the person you quoted. He'll either ignore it, or try to find a way to use it against you.

See BeamOn's sig.

One does not have to fly anything:

The public records indicate McCain was accident prone.

Finn, most everyone here is ignoring 4-2-7 it seems. Suggest you do the same and not respond to him. He is already getting frustrated evidenced by his comments to you. He can only insult people, cannot join in a conversation probably because of his limited writing skills. Lonely SOB getting his kicks by lobbing insults here.

Let's continue to ignore him and not quote him.

Who cares? Are the only ones viewing this site the 6 liberal trolls that inhabit it?

I must say I have had great encouragement from others participating on this site. So Ragu that should give you an indication of how others view you elsewhere and the same for the other trolls. This site has a lot of member sign-ups but nobody participates. Gee I wonder why.
