Using beheading to cause
universal anger and retribution. I have not truly studied the Art of
War by Sun Tzu.. but I have a sense there is something in this... I
wonder what the game is? Again I read Isaiah chapter 13 today and saw
this...
I will stir up the Medes (Kurds) against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. 18 The attacking armies will have no mercy on the young people of Babylon
There's something to this. They're trying to bait the U.S. to attack them. When the Brits vacillate being allied with us, ISIS beheads a British citizen. I think they want a boots on the ground all out war, then Russia will defend Assad/Syria. They're hoping that the disenchanted radical Islamists will rise up in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other moderate Muslim states. They're banking on Hamas renewed fighting against the Israeli's in Gaza and hoping that Hezbollah will strike Israel from Lebanon. So while we're all looking at the global war conflagration, they will strike us in the homeland. I think they're trying to cause confusion.
ISIS may have found Saddam Hussein's WMD's, and want to use them against our “boots on the ground.”
Vital in this, regarding Sun Zu, is "the ground". ISIS is choosing the ground of engagement. The Art of War states that you never allow the enemy to choose the time and place of engagement. Hit them where "they are not", in a way that they do not expect - and when they run to you, THEY enter the ground that YOU have chosen.

"...but depend on our position."
Seeing that Obama's favorite position is to take a bow and that the enemy is liable to sneak-in from the south, I find that picture to be disturbing.
This whole thing makes me nervous... not good
