Duh, Who Does Not Realize That ISIS Is Coming For Us? They Continue To Make It VERY Clear!


Paris Terrorists Give Chilling Message From Beyond the Grave in New ISIS Video


“The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way.” (Psalms 37:14)
The Islamic State has released a disturbing new propaganda video showing what appears to be footage of the ISIS terrorists who carried out the deadly November Paris attacks. The footage was apparently filmed prior to the massacre which killed 130, and features the nine terrorists when they were still in Syria and Iraq, “training” by executing and beheading enemies of ISIS.
The chilling 17-minute video states that ISIS plans to attack Britain and other European targets with “Paris-style attacks”.
The video, entitled “Kill Them Where You Find Them”, was released on Sunday by ISIS’s Al-Hayat Media Center, and features the characteristic high production values the world has come to expect from a terror group which has learned to use social media to its great advantage.
If the identities of the terrorists in the video are verified by intelligence forces, it would provide concrete evidence that the group which perpetrated the coordinated attack in Paris had not only been influenced by ISIS ideology but had actually been sent by the terrorist state from its territory in Syria and Iraq.
The video shows the nine assailants on camera, one by one, and seems to have been shot near Raqqa, Syria. It opens with news footage of the devastating Paris attacks, including scenes of suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud in a shootout with French police.
A voice identifying itself as Abaaoud’s then addresses the US-led coalition forces currently attacking ISIS territory in Iraq and Syria with airstrikes, threatening more terror attacks in retaliation if they continue to target ISIS.
A voice introducing the assailants narrates, “These are the last messages of the nine lions of the caliphate who were mobilized from their lairs to make a whole country, France, get down on its knees,” according to a report in Reuters.
Four of the nine assailants, identified by name, address the camera directly while killing victims. Bilal Hadfi, who is believed to be one of three assailants who attacked the Stade de France, is shown with a prisoner kneeling at his feet, whom Hadfi then beheads.
Samy Amimour, a French national, is shown holding the severed head of his victim, and Omar Ismail Mostefai appears holding another captive by the neck. Both of the men detonated suicide vests inside the Bataclan Theater during the Paris attacks.
Ringleader Abaaoud appears in a room with the ISIS flag and threatens the world in French. “We will not stop fighting you in every part of the world regardless of whether you are on a tourism trip or a work trip,” he announces. “So expect more. Expect a mujahid to show up to kill you.”

Kobane Will Fall To ISIS Within Days. Coalition Force Training Not Ready. Six Air Strikes Last Night, That's Pissing On A Forest Fire. What A Mess!

Pentagon Admits Airstrikes Aren’t Enough to Save Kobane, But Hasn’t Started Ground Training Program

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon today admitted that airstrikes aren’t enough to keep the Syrian border city of Kobane from falling to ISIS, but acknowledged it hadn’t yet even selected which opposition fighters to train to lead a ground campaign against the Islamic State.
ISIS supporters tweeted tonight that Kobane, a largely evacuated city of 400,000 with thousands left to be potentially massacred by the terrorists, was completely in their hands. Kurdish sources disputed that, saying their YPG fighters were still hanging in but being pushed back by the ISIS advance.
The location of the city, so close to the Turkish border that Kurds have been able to watch fighting from the hills of the Republic, gives ISIS a strategic border crossing at a NATO country.
“We’ve been saying since the very beginning that airstrikes alone are not going to be sufficient,” Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby told reporters in a noontime exchange. “…Efficiency and effectiveness are completely two different things, at least in a military mind. We believe they have been effective at what they are trying to achieve.”
Kirby maintained that the mission is to support Iraqi and Kurdish ground forces “as they take the fight to ISIL on the ground inside their country.”
“So in Syria, the airstrikes are principally designed and — and many of the strikes that we’ve taken — even as recently as a couple of days ago — are against fixed targets, facilities, ways in which they are using to headquarters themselves, sustain themselves, train.”
But the airstrikes — six overnight in and around the city — are “not going to save the town of Kobane.”
“We know that. And we’ve been saying that over and over again. And yet we continue to get questions of, well, why aren’t you doing more? And how come they aren’t more effective?” Kirby continued. “…And we don’t have a willing, capable, effective partner on the ground inside Syria right now. It’s just a fact. I can’t change that.”
“…Everybody’s focused on this town of Kobane, and I get that. But there’s still a lot of fighting going on inside Iraq. These guys have not given up a whole heck of a lot of ground inside Iraq.”
The Pentagon spokesman said they’re “eager” to get the training program, which will take place on Saudi Arabian soil, off the ground, but it’s no-go yet. “There’s been no vetting started yet and no recruiting at this point. We are in the very early stages right now of trying to develop the procedures and protocols within which we would do that,” he said, adding that they’re also “sizing up the facility” with the Saudis and looking at three to five months until any training can even begin.
And despite the threat to Kobane, it’s not a fall that will spur the Defense Department to recommend ground forces.
“I think we all understand that that’s a possibility, that Kobane could be taken. We recognize that. We’re doing everything we can from the air to try to halt the momentum of ISIL against that town, but that airpower is not going to be alone enough to save that city.”
But, Kirby argued, “it’s not just about Kobane.”
“What I’m telling you is, rather than say what we’re not going to do, let me tell you what we are going to do, and that’s to take a regional approach here,” he said. “So it’s easy to get fixated on one town, but I think it’s really important for you and for the American people to take a couple of steps back here and look at the larger regional context within which this fight is being made. And the longer-term strategic objectives that we and our coalition members are trying to apply here.”
