    ISIS posted a new video mocking the Paris attacks and taunting other countries to wage war with them.


    Because, then they win.

    I think someone once said something about the consequences of good people doing nothing.

    But ISIS only has to resist the west to gain more recruits, they don't have to 'win'. IIRC, a security expert I hard this week said that ISIS took 10,000 casualties so far this year, but got 20,000 new recruits.

    And I'm not saying 'do nothing'. ISIS earns money from selling oil from captured oil fields. Who is buying it? They use the money to buy weapons. Who is selling them?

    Surround them. Cut off supply routes. Starve them out. Then, they lose. :evil:

    Federal Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere took responsibility for calling off Tuesday's game. He said indications of a planned attack became stronger as the match approached, and the decision was made shortly after Merkel and her ministers landed. She flew back to Berlin.

    De Maiziere said he could give few details because he needed to protect the source of information, and because "part of these answers would upset the population."



    :roll:

    Well, we can't upset 1.5 million new citizens, can we ?

    You should sit down and watch the Farage video; how this guy gets only 4 million votes
    in the last election is clear proof just how fucked the UK really is.

    We're next.
