Dem Congressman: ‘Forces That Will Rise If ISIS Is Destroyed Are Nearly as Evil as ISIS’
CNS News ^ | Sept. 9, 2011 | Melanie Hunter

CNSNews.com) - Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Ca.), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, warned Tuesday that destroying ISIS would only empower those fighting against the terrorist group – who are almost as evil as ISIS.

“If you destroy one power in the Middle East, you empower the other side, and the four groups that are fighting ISIS now are in many ways nearly as evil as ISIS itself, and in fact, those who are fighting against ISIS today on the ground have killed far more Americans than ISIS has,” said Sherman, top Democrat on the Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade Subcommittee.

[ Kill all the Moslem men and sell all the children and women?
That would mirror Islam’s solution for the Infidel Problem. ]

China needs women ...

I was so much hoping we’d wake up this morning and find out the nukes had been dropped, just in time for the 9/11 anniversary, and Bambi would put on his big-boy pants and tell the world their problem was solved once and for all.

What the Democrat Congress-critter is saying: If America opposes ISIS (or whatever it calls itself now) is futile. Another version will only arise to take its place. Therefore, ISIS = Islam = Borg: Resistance is futile; prepare to be assimilated.

Wow, Brad Sherman doesn’t have a clue.

But he does understand that there is very little difference between “moderate” Islam, ISIS and all these other muzzie organizations.

He does seem to know more about the enemy than his fellow congress critters do want to admit.

Sherman should learn something from Sicilian culture. If an organization beheads two of your people and brags it will destroy you, you don’t worry about much except the thorough, brutal and complete liquidation of that particular organization. Their fellow travelers will get the message and understand that you are not to be provoked in any way.

The solution is to destroy all of Obama’s buddies

And Bush's, too.

The entire political class, including Bush, Obama, and seven successive Congresses has been desperately avoiding the obvious need for a sixty to seventy division expeditionary force to start at Lake Van (or perhaps even Istanbul), Beirut, Jeddah, and Amritsar, and to shake each others hands two years and a million bad guys later somewhere East of Tehran.

I, who live in an imaginary America most of the time, cannot believe this hasn't happened yet.

Any and all funding for moderates or any other Moslems in the ME, except at least for a time the Kurds, will go directly or after a short interval to the most malevolent faction in the ME because ultimately there is only one faction- Moslems. That includes money that is used to purchase oil from that region or wholesale purchase of “handicrafts” and other tourist goods to sell in other countries.

Yeah, I’ve come to the realization that there are no “moderate” muslims, that any so called “moderates” are viewed as apostates by other muslims.

.
Which means that we may have to bomb parts of our cities.

It seems there is a profitable opportunity here for the export/import industry.

Muslims are Muslims, there is no Moderate Islam, they are all just fighting each other for the right to be the rulers over the Caliphate.

Maybe we should destroy all of them.

I agree with your unsureness. That's why I like his idea of a full debate. This is not just about destroying ISIS, a fact a full debate might bring out. Then it could become possible to show how ISIS and Iran are two sides of the same evil coin, just as Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were, and deserving of the same treatment we gave those evil entities. As it stands now, there's an uncomfortably substantial likelihood that the Mahdi will back us into becoming Iran's de facto air force and implicitly approving Iran's nuclear program, meaning we'll go from the frying pan into the fire.

No, actually the translation is “there are multiple Muslim factions. If you stop ISIS, another one will rise. They (Muslims) are like cockroaches, and they’re all nuts”. Thats how I read it.

That would work, but getting anyone to agree to it, well.
It would have to get so bad that nobody could in any way honestly state that we shouldn’t respond.
Considering Zero wants us to be attacked again, that may not be too far off.

First, we annihilate ISIS. Then we wait for the next group of thugs to rise. Then we annihilate them. After about fifteen or twenty such annihilations we will either run out of evil Muzzies or we will run out of Muzzies. Either solution works for me.

“Ultimately Mecca is gonna get nuked.

Roger that. These religious maniacs have a major shared malfunction in their collective brain pans.
It reminds me of the saying: “No Matter How Good She Looks - Some Other Cowboy is Sick & Tired of Putting up With Her Bull S***”.
CAIR, the UN, the fervent expressions of pacifism, COEXIST, ...

I don’t care if ISIS is replaced after it is destroyed. We can continue and destroy the replacements. They will run out of Martyrs before we run out of bombs.

It seems that Christians had it better under some of the dictators we’ve helped to overthrow.

That is correct, particularly for Syria. I've heard the same from Iraqi Christians about Saddam, as hard as that is for Americans to believe.

I'm afraid we've been operating our Middle East policy under the erroneous premise that it is always better to get rid of a brutal dictator and allow freedom and democracy to flourish. The problem is there aren't enough rational people in the Middle East to sustain a democratic republic. In short, thanks to Islam, it's full of crazy people.
