Here is a short lesson on what 'state of the art' means in relation to high altitude endurance surveillance (and engagement!) technology.

Say hello to the MQ9 Reaper.



Operational ceiling: 50,000 feet
Surveilance Tech: Gorgon Stare wide area (100 km2) video surveillance at 12 fps at 1.8 billion pixels per frame using 368 camera array
Payload: 1.7 tonnes of air to surface missiles
Endurance: 43 hours

Do you see the flag on the side.

Here it is a bit bigger.



So can you point us to some non-US surveillance tech which will out gun the MQ9?

What will it take to get rid of these assholes?

Unplugging the internet?

A good start. Then have the international news agencies stop their constant broadcasting of IS atrocities. Just what IS wants. Get's the nutters all worked up.

Am I on the right track?

Yes. They are claiming a Caliphate.

Caliphate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yep, there are 3 ways.

1. Carpet bomb or nuke the whole region (inflicting a fair bit of collateral damage)
2. Send in a few hundred thousand ground troops and risk a few flag-draped body bags being sent home
3. Defeat the IS "ideology" on an moral, intellectual and religious basis making it unattractive for new recruits.

Supporting the Syrian government in its fight against IS rather than supporting forces opposed to the Syrian government might also help quicken the demise of IS.

1 and 2 are not ways to defeat them, just drive them to another form of organization, and is already happening.

3. I argued before that is only achievable if the majority of Muslims get behind that cause. It cannot be done by non Muslims.

My tongue was firmly in my cheek with 1 and 2.

Surely no sane person would even consider number 1.

For number 2, I really doubt even a coalition of the willing would send in a few hundred thousand ground troops to Syria and Iraq. And you are right, it won't stop the 'movement', just disperse it for a while.

Only number 3 is possible. I agree that it cannot be done by non-Muslims. As it has to be done on an intellectual and religious basis, it has to come from a large group of serious and senior religious thinkers, scholars and academics. It's not something that can be done in a few hours over a pot of tea and a 15 second spot on the evening news, or some silly pronouncement on a piece of A4 paper posted on a blog somewhere. It has to be extremely well thought out, detailed and well referenced. That's what IS seem to have done. To counter them, the scholars have to be equally thorough. It will take time, but I think it's the only way. Maybe they are doing that right now. Who knows?

^ You are not going to beat them with words.
They are destroying mosques and burning libraries full of well researched opinions.
They are fundamentalists who want to live directly by the word of the prophet, not some Imams interpretation of it.

Nope, they are fighting for their territory which happened to be vacated when the US chucked out Sadaam . . . Iraq and parts of Syria

1) No, they're not - the Caliphate encompasses roughly what the Roman Empire used to . . . and some in this region include the Malay areas of Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philipones

2) Hitler wanted to take over the world? History must have changed s taught in the US.
Check out Lebensraum and Germanic lands to give you an idea what the wanted . . . and it has nothing to do with the US, Australia, Argentina, China etc.... that is all simplistic propaganda
Even Hitler wasn't mad enough to think of world domination . . . not like a certain superpower nowadays

To make it easier to destroy them, make it a priority destroy their money. Any source of internal revenue, such as oil refineries & pipelines etc, take 'em out. Any external source- such as those that bank for them, or contribute to them, or buy from them, take 'em out. They are Isis too.

And apply sanctions ...

Ocker, I have to disagree with you (big surprise I know). ISIS does appear to be justifying what they have done because hey fèel they are the true representatives of Islam. By taking selected writiings of the Quran, they have justified what they have done and will continue until all muslims recognize them as the only correct religion. To do this they must purify everything around them by killing all others that do not believe in their specific interpretation of Islam.

ISIS has also destroyed ancient artifacts in Mosul that they feel are false idols and have secretly sold many for cash to fund their fight. Do you really think they will stop once they clense all of the Roman Empire as you state? I don' think so. Their primary goal is to eliminate all infidels and to rule in a manner that is only consitant with their warped interpretations of the Quran.

If this does not smack of wanting to rule the world, I do not know what does.

Let's play Cowboys & Muslims!

Does this include the following:

1. Buying the oil stolen in the desert?
2. Training them to use any weapon above and AK47 and IED - other than what can be stolen in the desert?
3. Supplying them with food, water - other than what can be stolen in the desert?
4. delivering "intelligence" to enable them to plan and execute their war?
5. Delivering medical aid - other than what can be stolen in the desert?
6.


If the above is followed there would be a lot of crusader coalition countries blacklisted, sanctioned, cut off from SWIFT, bombed etc..

Taking them out would be pretty difficult, who would do the taking out ISIS?

The top photo is when they have run out of "Aid" and are showing The Great Satan they need more "Aid".

The lower one is when they are collecting the "Aid" dropped to them by their benefactors!

Cowboys and Indians, more like restocking the livestock.

Following the Hun/Portuguese/Spanish/British attempts and failures, along with the USA ongoing attempt which will also end in failure.

Perhaps the govt's press etc,should stop using IS ISIS ISIL, as the terrorists are not a state.

I believe the term Daesh is used by the Arabs

Then again who says the World govt's want to stop them.
