I believe Obama is achieving exactly what he wants, tp look like he’s doing something but he will never will do anything to stop the advancement of the Muslim Caliphate.

“..and Americans must be willing to pay the full price for liberty—in money and lives.”

:::::::::::

It has always been this way. But now we are temporarily stuck with an administration that avoids this reality at all costs and works hard to protect and encourage the enemies of America, both foreign and domestic.

I don’t trust Obama on any level. Not what he says, not what he does, not his motives, nothing. So I’m queasy about any military operation he orders.

But I will say that a good model for operating in the muslim world is the model that brought down the Taliban, where you use special operators integrated among muslim allies, backed up by air power.

Its a small footprint leveraging a lot of power. It keeps the nationals themselves front and center and in need of you. It solves a lot of problems in dealing with the populace and the local politics. What do you do with the prisoners? Not your problem.

The cancer has metastasized to spawn terrorist groups and cells on every continent financed through business fronts, extortion and donations. Those recruit fighters from the United States, Britain, France, and all the way to Australia, kidnap westerners and Africans for ransom, and commit far reaching acts of wanton violence.

Even accepting the proposition that ISIS/ISIL is not Islamic, Islam is still the vestigial organ that gives rise to these cancers. If the organ cannot heal itself, we can get along without it.

They are on another imperialist expansion
The only thing that is going to stop them cold in their tracks is if you whack mecca, medina , iran and pakistan. Then give them the word, the rest go if they act up.
These cave men do not understand anything else. To treat them with less is to allow them to progress and get stronger. We are already past our tipping point.

They are humanities cancer.

We need to call Israel for the answer!

I agree. Wipe out their holy places and take the oil.

Depends on the size of the bomb.

Screw the oil/ minerals. Do it out of principle.

But then again, take enough oil/ minerals to cover the costs of stone aging them. I think they should be irradiated. Neutroned as a minimum. That way we don’t have to deal with the nasty and enduring tell tale radiation. After the stone aging, then cover costs, and administer their resources to rebuild their nations.

American taxpayers have already paid for too many wars to keep global order in check. Let them pay!

I am sure that Israel has a new high tech weapon that surpasses that now. When was the neutron bomb anyway? 40 years ago? They must have an enhanced, new and improved technology that surpasses it by far!

We need to call Israel... but wait! We have to get the muslims and leftists camped in and around the White House out first! Maybe we have to have a 2 week revolution and then move on after the house cleaning.

Like all Muzz terrorists, the ISIS barbarians will be accompanied by wives, concubines, children, captives (before they are cruelly killed), and others with whom they will embed themselves. The carpet bombing they need and deserve won’t be applied because of fear of collateral damage. Has anyone heard of 0bumble’s ROE for this “major anti-terrorist operation?” Oh, I guess it’s a war now, sort of.

I am coming around to agreeing with you, and am even contemplating the idea of informing ALL muslim immigrants in the USA, and their children, even if born here that they must immediately return to their country of origin, no matter how “peaceful” they are, until the carnage stops.

No more visas, passports, students being permitted to attend our universities and colleges. No exceptions for fear of persecution, etc. And, no plane travel into the USA from Islamic regions will be tolerated.

All US aid or weapons given to any muslim country or region, or any country that supports Islam in any way will immediately stop, and any existing treaties will be cancelled, including Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries with whom we have previously had “good” relations.

And, any further attacks on the USA or our allies will be met with bombing of cities, “religious shrines”, and anything else of value we can think of.

And, we must give up this lie that Islam is a religion. It is a system of government, based on total control of everyone and everything. And, since it is incompatible with western values, and does not recognize our Constitution, it must be denied by our government, and citizenship no longer granted to those who follow Muhammed and Islam.

And, if we all have to hunker down, endure some hardship, or rationing, so be it.

Rant over, thanks for letting me blow off some steam.

That was my point. Take the oil away and they have no way to finance terror.

Its not a rant.
Just an observation and vocalization of fact.

Sharia? It is its own constitution made and intended to supplant the constitution of the host. ITs a nasty virus, that metastasizes.

Its some purpose is to displace the existing constitution. As such , it is a enemy invasion. Just a quiet one for the moment until they get quantum and momentum.

Islam? Will have to be treated the same way the German NAZIS were. No political correctness. Just whack ‘em.
Right now they are on another imperialist expansion and they have to be stopped cold in their tracks!

Only problem is they have their man in the White House to expedite the downfall of western man.

They have dovetailed the two scenarios which are in fact one event.

Not true.

Oil is a source of revenue, but now they also get a whack of revenue from their corporations and sympathizers in the west.
It makes me think of Iran and their nuclear program getting ideas and technology from the west.... via sympathizers AND their own straw men corporations.

My point is stone age irradication. That will get rid of much of their steam.

And most Americans can’t see what is happening, for they have accepted and adopted the foolishness of the chattering classes.

So, history now has another chance to enjoy a ghastly rhyme.

I'm reading Ayaan Hirsi Ali's book, "Infidel". If you want to see how awful life can be as a Somali Muslim in the Western World. It is the Will of Allah imbedded in their young lives that makes them do what they do.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a remarkable woman, a great writer, and fluent in Swahili, Somali, English and Dutch. (And so fluent in Dutch, she taught the Dutch language in Holland).
