DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Paris Terror Attacks

And i want you to understand that we created ISIS, and have consistently backed the wrong group in the middle east since AT LEAST the 80's.

every single time we enter the middle east, the place somehow ends up in a worse spot afterwards.

The Terrorists are winning if you just look at how much the world has changed since New York and watch how much things change after Paris.

And how do you beat an ideology/ type of warfare? Especially when it takes as few as 1 person to plan and carry out an act of terrorism.

Inquiring minds want to know. Nuking the middle east it not an option that actually works if you're going to suggest that.

So what do we do? Sit idly by and let them terrorize? We lose.

Bomb the countries they come from? We lose.

France said on Sunday it launched its first air strikes in Syria, destroying an Islamic State training camp in the east of the country to prevent the group from carrying out attacks against French interests and to protect Syrian civilians.

France had until now only struck Islamic State targets in neighboring Iraq, carrying out just 3 percent of air strikes in an offensive on the group by a U.S.-led coalition. France has also provided limited logistical support to Syrian rebels it considers moderate, including Kurds.

"France struck in Syria this morning an Islamic State training camp which threatened the security of our country," French President Francois Hollande told reporters on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

He said six fighter jets had destroyed their targets near Deir ez-Zor and that more operations could take place in coming weeks to protect France and Syrian civilians.

France had feared strikes in Syria could be counter-productive and could strengthen President Bashar al-Assad, who has been fighting a rebellion against his rule since 2011.

However, France was shaken by a series of deadly attacks by Islamist militants this year, including the killing of 12 people at the office of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in January.

In addition, Paris has become alarmed by Islamic State gains in northern Syria and the possibility of France being sidelined in negotiations to reach a political solution in Syria.

A French diplomatic source said Paris needed to be one of the "hitters" in Syria -- those taking direct military action -- to legitimately take part in any negotiations for a political solution to the conflict.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is trying to launch a new initiative for a political solution in Syria during meetings in New York this week, diplomats said.

Hollande said he would support those efforts and France would hold bilateral meetings throughout the week with key players in the Syria crisis before a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Paris on Friday.

"France doesn't sideline anybody, but the future of Syria cannot pass through President Bashar al-Assad," he said.

Two French diplomatic sources said the idea of creating a buffer zone in northern Syria was one issue that could be discussed over the coming days.

"It's one of the parameters being looked at," one source said.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Saturday Paris was still seeking clarification on Russia's military build-up in Syria, adding that if it went beyond defending its interests in the country it could complicate any political transition.

The United States is leading two different coalitions carrying out air strikes in Iraq and Syria, but Hollande repeated that for the moment Paris would make its decisions to strike in Syria independently, albeit in coordination with Washington.

France was ready to join air strikes on military installations in Syria in 2013 in response to a massive chemical weapon attack before U.S. President Barack Obama turned against it after Assad agreed to abandon his chemical arsenal. That left French officials cautious of U.S. intentions in Syria.

how do we stop it? I have some ideas, but they're just kneejerk ideas.

The only way to stop the spread of terrorism coming from the Middle East is to raise the standard of living for those living there. As long as the people there live in absolute destitution and poverty, with no hope that even their great grandkids have any chance of escaping it, they will place very little value on their lives.

We are not fighting one person with bad intentions, we are fighting ISIS.

First know your enemy.

We have vastly underestimated ISIS and it shows as they strike wherever they wish around the world. France has been on high alert since the attack on Charlie Hebdo and still ISIS struck them right in their heart.

ISIS sees themselves as a Nation. They have leaders who are appointed by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. They are appointed all the way down to the local level. Their entire focus and goal is to kill the non-believer wherever he may be on the planet. They are focused on this goal and it is what they live and die for.

ISIS has now reached the point where like any attacking Nation, they are sending out well trained and well equipped Expeditionary Forces who are given their plans from headquarters in Syria.

Our response has been to target and eliminate their leadership. Within a week, they have replaced that dead leader with a new leader, looking to make a name for himself.
Our goal has been to disrupt their leadership and to contain them so they are no longer conquering large swaths of land.

They said last night on CNN that if there is a group that can perform a terrorist act like Paris last night and coordinate by them selves, it is indeed very bad news.

I don't understand this. How hard is it to plan out something like this really? everyone has cell phones, watches, etc. You get together, pick a time, and do it. Explosives can be made with instructions off the internet. All it takes is a will to do it.

Planning like what into 9/11 is scary. What I know of last nights attacks seems like any small group with the will to do it could...
