A recent poll shows a slight majority of Americans believe the government should negotiate with terrorists.

A YouGov poll conducted from Dec. 10-14 asked 1,000 American adults, "If a U.S. soldier is captured by a terrorist group, do you think the United States should or should not negotiate with that group for the release of the soldier?"

In response, 52 percent of Americans responded the government "should" negotiate with terrorists for the release of an American soldier while 24 percent responded the government "should not" negotiate with terrorists. ...

The last deal was a traitor for 5 high ranking mass murderers.

Any questions?

YouGov is liberal as hell. I opted out/unsubscribed a couple of months ago.

[ought-six]

Bears repeating.

[BlueStateRightist]

And thus Hillary will get 52% of the vote.

Only if we negotiate this way: “Release our soldier now or we drop a MOAB on your village and burn your wives, goats and children to ashes. You’ve got 10 minutes.”

There is NOTHING to Negotiate...

The same Majority that has been told Islam is the religion of peace.

You don’t negotiate with terrorists. The only way to deal with them is to get them in your crosshairs.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Why not just surrender immediately instead of dragging it out?

[Macoozie]

Release our people unharmed, immediately
OR
Plumes of smoke, crying widows and orphans.

Take out one village, city, tribe at a time.
Bomb them back into the 7th century, where they want to live anyways . . .

And who is saying this?
Jebito? Marco D-Bag? The Huckster?
Nope.

Only two ways to deal with terrorists.....take them out using whatever means is most effective and quickest......and for those domestic the death penalty, just as quickly.

One meaning of “negotiate” is to find a way over or through an obstacle or difficult path. Napalm used to be effective in relatively small areas where stuff would burn.

Nukes would be better in arid areas where population density is less and a residual effect is desired.

A majority of adults in America are not very bright. Just the way we roll.

[Puppage]

Yeah....negotiate with those that want you to convert or die. STOP POLLIING SOCCER MOMS!!!!

[stevem]

Negotiate what?

[Cobra64]

Yes. Look up “Curtis LeMay - Tokyo”

[TXnMA]

I agree: keep ‘em talking until you have a solid GPS fix — then send in the FAEs...

[Blue Collar Christian]

Seems fair to me.
