الدولة الاسلامية في العراق والشام تدعو انصارها للتقدم الى بغداد

but I was told the USA is allied with and arming Al Qaeda.... Maybe southern, mowaten, and flamethrower have an answer to why the USA might launch air strikes against their allies...!

the one who controls the ground has the advantage ,i guess taking iraq leaving syria to alawit would ease up the saudi, US may hit some stones just to bluff

Maliki is asking the US to assist now! His sectarian kleptocracy alienated Iraq's Sunnis and he completely mismanaged Iraq. He should go. Someone responsible who can rally Iraqis should take over.
ISIS should be destroyed both by fighting it and by winning the hearts and minds of Iraqis from all confessions.

From the Financial Times today:

"Isis has re-emerged after repeated attempts to destroy it, including by the US, and is regrouping with increasingly sophisticated military and strategic planning. Isis makes millions of dollars monthly in racketeering and oil extraction. The group’s supporters say it has at least 15,000 fighters, many of them zealous foreigners ready to die for the cause...
"Syrian rebels said Mr Assad’s forces have helped the Isis resurgence. They point out that his army frequently pummels moderate opposition groups’ headquarters with air and artillery strikes, while Isis is rarely targeted.
“The regime sees that their interests perfectly converge, so why disrupt their work? Isis fights the revolution for them,” said a fighter in eastern Syria, who asked only to be identified by his first name Amir."

Just carpet bomb these nuts. Its probably better they start in Damascus to get rid of two evils.

Effective air strikes should be conducted on the royal lunatics of Saudi Arabia before anybody else.

Indeed Islamo fascism (The Islamic Republic of Iran) and the Wahabis are in a competition on who can improve nano-technology and genetic engineering.
They are spending billions spreading their scientific creed throughout the world and when scientists the world over come to ask for money their research projects, they shower them with it and arm them with the most sophisticated scientific equipement around.
Humanity is blessed by Wahabism and Khomeinism and by the people that ally themselves to one or the other (of course for non-monetary benefits), saying that one is "less evil" than the other - ooops sorry I meant more "more rational than the other".

Yes sir! proud to be secular! pro-human! anti-religious dogma!
Proud to be assosiated to a thinker, philosopher and writer like Niccolo Machievelli who wrote a great book that was banned by the Pope who was the religious dicator in 16th century Italy.
Thank God for people like Machievelli that worked to liberate the minds of people from the evil of religious extremism and dictatorship.
I hope one day our region will be liberated from it too.
Meanwhile, I suggest your read more Machieveli, Locke, Rousseau, Voltaire, More, Nietzsche, Kant, Sartre, Russel and our very own Gebran Khalil Gebran and Amin Maalouf.
Get away from your false idols and come back to humanity.

Machiavelli is just one 16th century thinker and reading his book doesn't prevent you from reading any other book, unless you are a really slow reader!
Btw If you are interested in religion than you should also read all other religious books related to Islam, Hinduism, Janism, Buddhism, Zorastrianism, etc.
And then read the history of these religions and in what context they were founded and how they grew. I find it fascinating.

Hehehehe! I see that your are still bitter from the couple of take downs.
Don't worry I will be gentle next time.

Today religion and meditation is needed in this material world. But it is needed on the inside. Religion and belief should help people heal, give them hope, make them help other people and make them more determined and positive about the future.
Today once religion or race is part and parcel of politics, the law, the constitution or the founding of a country than it is against humanity. It is unjust. Again I will site Israel, The Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia where religious apartheid and religious laws exclude a large part of humanity.

i ddont think saudi arabia will permit the us to launch airstrikes against these terrorists (their nationals?)

haven't you noticed that in syria came ISIL: hezbollah arrived at the rescue...
in iraq comes ISIL and iran comes to the rescue... as if, like we keep saying, ISIL is manipulated to justify the presence of the islamist revolution of iran in both countries! LOL....
