Chris Matthews surrenders to ISIS: ‘More force is not the answer’
Hotair ^ | 09/10/2014 | Noah Rothman

Chris Matthews isn’t much for logical consistency.

In the wake of the gruesome beheading of journalist James Foley by ISIS terrorists, an act explicitly designed to send a warning to the United State of America, the MSNBC host appeared visibly agitated by President Barack Obama’s inattentiveness.

“No American president can survive if he lets Iran get nuclear weapons, and no American president can survive if he lets Americans be beheaded on international television with impunity. Impunity!” an impassioned Matthews asserted. “He has to strike back, as an American, it’s in our soul!”

A few weeks and another beheading later, the emotional shock of that moment appears to have worn off for Mathews. Retreating into emotionality, the left-leaning cable news host railed on Wednesday against responding to ISIS’s force with disproportionate American military might. He cited tired socialist dogma and even al-Qaeda’s raison d’etre to support this logically vacuous position.

“When we put tens of thousands of American troops into the Holy Land of Saudi Arabia, being warned that was a desecration that led to al-Qaeda,” a credulous Matthews repeated. “According to al-Qaeda, that led to their reason to attack us on 9/11.”

Brilliant. Of course, the attacks of 9/11 (and those in Kenya, Tanzania, and Yemen) were inspired by George H. W. Bush’s response to the invasion of Kuwait and Riyadh’s request to station troops in Saudi Arabia. Matthews makes no mention of the fact that al-Qaeda did not surrender when those troops were removed, but merely crafted a new casus belli.

The feral population in Ferguson, MO claimed they only rioted because the police showed up to quell the riot.

So what’s YOUR idea Chrissie? Offer free Kazoo lesson to every ISIS murderer who agrees to stop beheading people? Poetry classes? Art classes?

Muslim atrocities outrage them and then they find out later they actually respect the evil. Leftists always do.

“When we put tens of thousands of American troops into the Holy Land of Saudi Arabia, “

And now the Saudis are agitating for more American-led crusaders, since their frankenstein monsters have turned on them, and JFrikkin Kerry is head cheerleader/rush chairman.

No more American blood for these muslim freaks. Make it all a glass factory and Islam actually becomes a ROP.

Chris Matthews feeling a trickle down his leg and a tingle in his haunches for muslim terrorists?
Maybe if he goes and interviews them, he can sleep with a “real man” instead of Obama! /sarc there are no real men in ISIS, but compared to Obama..

the left-leaning cable news host railed....

If Matthews "leaned" any more left he'd be horizontal.

Drunken old leftists like Matthews reserve all their strength to rage at the Tea Party.

Once they've done that they're spent. Besides, they really have no enemies other than their political opposition.
