BS. There are not enough educated people left in the United States to be shocked into anything.

The headline is wishful thinking. ISIS could invade us and start beheading Christians and Obama’s approval rating would still be over 40%.

0bama wanted to bomb Assad on BEHALF of ISIS in August of 2013.

0bama wants to bomb ISIS on BEHALF of Assad in August of 2014.

Let’s be clear: 0bama is a bumbling fool without a clue.

So why does obumma say we don’t have a plan. And why does he always have to use his own words, like ISIL instead of ISIS, and future citizens instead of illegal aliens, and workplace violence instead of terrorist, you can probably think of so many more.

Personally I’m of the mindset to let ISIS form a caliphate. Let the head of the snake rise so it can be cut off. The world wanted us out of the middle east and most of the middle east hates America and Jews outside of Israel and maybe Lebanon. I don’t like the results of standing down but its time for the Middle East to handle its own problems. The Saudi’s have tons of money and weapons let them do it. I know its hard to do since we have been running around the world playing super hero but sometimes its better to stand back to let those ingratious peoples in these regions experience the reality without the US. Sometimes superman needs to step back and let people be reminded how life really is when they have to fight their own battles.

It may be heartless but then again we have already been invaded and our country is dying. Our constitution means nothing or rather anything that the judges will claim it means. The only way back is for people to wake up and maybe a strong unified enemy will do that either way we are headed towards a major conflict in this country whether within or without. We should do what we can to prevent attacks and assist our allies but going beyond that really is a fools errand that will continue to empower an enemy far worse than a bunch of head choppers which is the enemy within.

Oh, they're educated, just not reasoning or logical.

Thank you NEA-led public school teachers and 'progressive' colleges. Thanks a lot, Teach!

Stop the checks, they will be shocked quickly.

Obama’s not shocked, he’s still asleep at the wheel.

Actually, he’s trying like hell NOT to bomb ISIS. He has no strategy, he even said so himself. Not having a strategy means we are a long way off from bombing ISIS. I would bet that if Obama could bomb Assad right now, he would do it, but there is no pretext. Once there is a a pretext for bombing Assad, there will be a strategy.

Okay.

Let him join IS, and then shoot him as an enemy combatant.

I usually agree with Hot Air. But this article just doesn’t make any sense. The country to be bombed remains the same, but the mission is totally different. Our dumb-ass CIC decided, pretty much unilaterally, on regime change in Syria.

Now, we are bombing ISIS. Who can not back that? The jug eared mulatto in the White Hut has got the world in a hell of a pickle. Dumbass.

No, ISIS has not shocked America back to its senses. The MSM continues to serenade the population with lies and render them comatose. Meanwhile, the U.S. government aids and abets these Muslim murderers. America is so screwed. Priceless.

I guess that means that America WILL...

End the CHOICING deaths of ~3,300 every working day...
Stop subsidizing Sin and Sloth...
No longer make entangling alliances...

Anyone else want to chime in 3 more and pass the baton?

16% of the population of FRANCE approves of ISIS.

What % of France is Muslim?

It shows that the opposition to Syrian airstrikes last year was not rooted in the public’s concern that another Iraq War was no the horizon, but that the president had not articulated a clear strategic goal in Syria.

No, it's just that when your enemies continually post their Greatest Hits Albums on YouTube, even the most absent-minded sheep start to pay attention.
