Islamic State claims responsibility for Manchester arena attack

anyone surprised?

from what I see, this group has "large swaths of territory in Syria & Iraq"

and we have a bunch of big bombs we paid a lot of money for and hardly ever get to use

coincidence?

Islamic State claims responsibility for Manchester arena attack

quote:
CAIRO, May 23 (Reuters) - Islamic State claimed responsibility for Monday's deadly attack at the Manchester Arena and said it was carried out with an explosive device planted at the concert, according to a statement the group posted on Telegram.

"One of the soldiers of the Caliphate was able to place an explosive device within a gathering of the Crusaders in the city of Manchester," the statement said.

quote:
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is crediting changes in tactics ordered by President Trump for increasing the pressure on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, and leaving the beleaguered fighters with no avenue of escape.

"He directed a tactical shift from shoving ISIS out of safe locations in an attrition fight to surrounding the enemy in their strongholds so we can annihilate ISIS," Mattis said Friday during a Pentagon briefing on the counter-ISIS campaign.

Mattis said that by making sure foreign fighters can't get away, or return to their home countries, "We don't simply transplant this problem from one place to another."

The "Islamic state" has a big foothold in the U.K. The mayor of London is an Islamic activist and the most popular name for a male child in London is "mohammed". It's likely that the jihad sees the country formerly known as England as weak and ripe for Sharia law. Jihadists have no interest in the political system, they live mentally in the 6th century and the only thing they understand is murder and terror.

Didn't trump promise he would deal with ISIS? Is this what he meant by dealing with ISIS?

How can it be ISIS? Trump totally took care of it on day 1.

Like closing gitmo

or keeping your health care plan and your doctor

or the $25000 reduction in premiums

I have MUCH more confidence in Trump than I have had in any POTUS since at least Reagan to handle this situation properly

He scrapped it in January when he asked the Pentagon to come up with a new plan...

Well I am glad to see you at least admit it, even through deflection.

Yes Trump is a military GENIUS, Mattis and the generals could have never come up with something so smart.

I recall right after the attacks in Paris a couple of years ago where over 100 were killed, France the next day went and bombed dozens of ISIS fighters. It was widely reported. They interviewed a man on the street about it and he said something to the effect "12 down, another 100 to go". Basically airing the rage people were feeling and yes, revenge was on the minds of people. A quiet, stoic desire for justice.

I believe an Eye for an Eye if appropriate in these cases. Not only because of justice, but also to send a message, "you attack us, we will attack you. You will not be martyred, you will be eliminated". This is war, there is no other way to define this.

So, if need be England should buy an MOAB or two from America, get the coordinates of where some of these dogs are hiding and let loose, so be it. It's unfortunate that this is how it must be, but the longer these animals are allowed to live and spread their hatred, the more of these cases in which peoples children and slaughtered.

It is thoroughly disgusting and heartbreaking.

How do you attack someone who has just blown himself up?

ISIS will take credit for anything, if not the deed, the inspiration. It's best to not give them too much credit. It's what they want.
