ISIS updated

This is a lengthy page hosted on scribd published by Arthur Barie, a hodgepodge of collected updated information on ISIS, maps, photographs mostly, documents, statements, various writings, scribblings, who they are, where they come from, what they do, their propaganda, statements of intent, how they recruit, what people look like, etc. It all makes clear they are waging war on us on several fronts at once and how they go about their nefarious activities, and what their vulnerabilities appear to be. It first asks the question, "why are they all sitting?" So calmly to be executed, but it does not answer.

(The answer elsewhere, Ayaan Hersi, is they take so long to set up the photograph, casually comfortably getting things just so, lined up just right, friendly handling, being so stagey about it that by the time it comes down to giving the order the prisoners don't even believe it's going to actually happen.)

I did it again, went for a "today's must read" prompt and this time it pays off. The page is a good effort. It is a good collection.

I must say, though, my favorite part was clicking on the photograph of a fighter taking aim at a target. The target is a silhouette of a running man with another photo over the face. The caption reads, "look at the face on the target." It's too small to see. Enlarging does not clarify. Click on the photo to see if it enlarges, and still cannot quite make it out but it must be Obama. Now, this is a dreadful photograph that nobody would care to own. But it's hosted on Photobucket and they must display their usual marketing offering so the photo is displayed repeated printed on calendars, canvas prints and holiday greeting cards. It's not the sort of thing anyone would want on a coffee cup or have worked up onto a puzzle. American style humor in unexpected places. The very thing ISIS hopes to destroy.
