They're after our precious body fluids.
Seriously though, they want to spread their idea of proper Sharia law and force ''infidels'' off of Muslim lands.
Why is the role of the Caliphate so important?
It is the vessel with which to maintain Sharia Law.
That's about the extent of My very limited understanding of those people. I suspect many are just sociopaths. ''patriotism is the ultimate refuge for scrondrels''
OK. Thanks for your response. Is it possible to compare/contrast Al-Qaeda's goals with those of ISIS?

Well, all I know for sure is ISIS first was all about building a Caliphate in parts of Syria and Iraq.... I = Iraq S = Syria I = Islamic S = State.
Now they seem to be devolving into the same murderous terrorist as Al-Qaeda though.
"Off the face of the earth"......an important distinction. So be honest. Convert and adher to fundamentalism or die.
There's an article I just read in The Atlantic entitled, "What Does ISIS Want?" Very informative for me, others' mileage may vary.
LOL! Damn, it's obvious they want jobs and a breeze out of the north. Cool mountain streams. Clean air. Equal pay for equal work. Brotherhood for all of mankind. Animal rights and great schools for the children, both boys and girls. Sexual liberation and the rights of gays to be respected including gay marriage. And very importantly women's rights are vitally important. They are also keenly interested in diversity in the workplace and voting rights and respect for various view points and that other nation's borders be respected. And clean feet too, they really like clean feet. And pigs as well as liberals, particularly Jewish liberals.What is their objective(s)?

What is their objective(s)?
Yes, they are uncompromising terrors and we'll have to kill the most devoted of them. Hopefully many of the less devout followers will lose heart or interest at some point.
I've never said we can ignore the actual terrorist, nobody has.
I also think The POTUS might be wrong in not putting some boots on the ground. I also think it's possible We already have some on the ground, specialist being used as spotters. I read it is likely in The NYTs, regardless of what you think they get info nobody else has.
Clearly they gave Charlie Sheen HIV in an attempt to discredit him with his chosen ladies as a means of cornering the market on fame-hungry, marginally successful porn actresses.
We do have special forces on the ground. Small numbers but I can confirm that we do. Nsa runs it.
Which means our White House will tell the entire world where they are and act defiant when asked where the slip happened.
What is their objective(s)?
Nothing more than what they have been doing to each other for thousands of years, except now, it is global because of technology.What is their objective(s)?
Thanks, I'll make a note and read it over coffee in the morning.
You just won't give credit to him for anything.
If there are boots on the ground he's been very quiet about it.
I'm waiting for his critics to scream about lying to The American People when it comes out he kept covert ops truly covert.
It has happened. The current white house has been telling where we are, when we are withdrawing and how many we have.
You would be lying if you said they've been very quiet all along about our top military secrets. Admit it. Hilary has kept an open server
to publish state secrets as well. You just can't make this shit up. They've broadcast every move we make. I know you think I'm being unfairly
critical but in this day and age it's warranted. They can't handle the technology they have and they want more control.
Focus up on your ground. The whole infantile cabinet is an endless circus of pointless posturing and strutting. That's why Putin called him a child.
And I am responding to the post that we don't advertise our presence by
saying that we have handed out our gameplan and troop movements over and over. So you go all the way back to Rove? Bush fault?
No friend of mine, but he knows a Bullshot artist when he sees one.
Putin has seized the reins of leadership and all we can do is watch.
Our leadership has been in the dumps for over 20 years. This is the 3rd POTUS
in a row that are megalomaniacs.
I thought Bush was bad, but this one is even more in fantasy land.
Man do we need a statesman. You don't see these guys as clowns?
Putin has sat on the sidelines while We've fought. Even in the few months Russia has taken action, they've done next to nothing to fight ISIS. Their guns have been turned on the rebels fighting the Syrian government.
You are clearly impressed with the strutting midget, I'm not.
We will find out that the rebels were ISIS/ISIL in a few months and I would not be surprised in the least. Big difference between impressed in Putin and embarrassed for our POTUS thinking this is time for another Choom Gang
bluff job.
And one final question: Why is Dabiq, Syria so vitally important to ISIS?
And thank you Heulen for responding. Where are all the experts? I was hoping to be educated.
