Shhhh. They finally had an excuse to keep the refugees out. Don't ruin it for them.

What are 5 guys in a desert with $100 million in US military training and equipment?

Noooo. Let's panic. Turn our society into a police state. Pour trillions of dollars into the military. Bomb somebody - it doesn't matter who. Let's see how many Muslim countries we can occupy simultaneously until we bankrupt ourselves. Feel better now?

Really, guys? It's not too soon for you to be using this tragedy to support your petty partisan views? Wow.

Well, wtf. Clearly your calculations were based on 1 person working 24/7. In other words, they made no sense. idk how many people they have working, what prior checking the UN would have done, what documents these people were have. IOW, I'm not in a position to stand in judgement. Are you?

Are you assuming they have only 1 person doing the screening?

I was under the impression that's exactly what the folks at CBSA were planning to do anyway. No?

Your chances of dying from a car accident, dog attack, frostbite and lightning strike are greater than being killed in a terrorist attack. Will you demand the government save you from all of those as well?

We're getting refugees from Paris?

Because the 9/11 attackers were all refugees? Because the 2 people who killed soldiers last year were refugees? Because the hapless bunch of deluded drug addicts, mentally ill or misguided losers who are in Canadian prisons for terror offenses were all refugees? Germany. Turkey. Greece. Jordan. Places that are chock-a-block with refugees right now. You should alert them so they can all panic. I know this is a novel idea today but how about we take a deep breath until we have some actual information about what happened today?

Rational. I think that would be a great idea. When do we start?

That's it. Stoke that fear. Well done.

What makes you think that having armed forces in the middle east is protecting us? There is no evidence of that. None.

Oh, ground troops. Cuz they worked so well in Afghanistan and Iraq. Do people ever learn?

oops wrong thread.

Russia and Iran are already anti-ISIS but they support Assad in Syria. Turkey and Saudi Arabia are anti-Assad. The western allies seem to be hoping everyone will lose. That's why it's such a mess.

So what? Ignore useless chatter. I do. So, send the Liberal Party or Trudeau an email. Look, if your government with all its resources can't figure it out, do you really think you can do it from the keyboard of a PC in your basemenf I think somebody does know but because they are allies (Turkey? Saudi Arabia?), nobody wants to take them on. It's well known that Turkey doesn't like the Kurds and doesn't like Assad; so is not especially motivated to take on ISIS.

Gwynne Dyer is on CTV. He's saying he thinks it's probably not ISiS but one of their competitors (like Al Qaeda).

I'm done talking to you - feel free to amuse yourself with someone else for a while.

A NATO response against whom exactly?

And I'm pointing out that climate change has nothing to do with this - moderate please delete -1's posts as they are clearly thread drift.

Can you find a more idiotic comparison? I doubt it.

So you don't know either. Whatever.

Maybe you can enlighten me - why are people joining up?

So, I hear a lot of people here and on my TV screen talking about a whole bunch of things. Go bomb somebody. Reconsider changing C51. Reconsider the refugees. I demand that my country not do anything until someone can confirm that the actions we take will make things better and not worse. And as I've pointed out multiple times, someone amongst the group of countries we consider "allies" is helping ISIS. And I believe that intelligence exists about who that someone is and we don't want to take them on because we don't want to offend them. Unless and until someone is going to be honest about wtf is really going on, fighting ISIS is like spitting in the wind.
