I agree, but the Obama doctrine, strategy and rules of engagement will cause our sons to die for nothing. There will be no pathway to victory, just some “hearts and minds” crap.

The raid on the tanker trucks is a good example of bad ROE’s. They should have killed the drivers as well to discourage people from taking up that profession. No drivers and the trucks don’t move. Now ISIS will just set up traps for our pilots by surrounding trucks with MANPADS and try to shoot down our planes. People on the ground in the area need to be targets as well.

Send them to Chicago. Maybe a few of them will be shot in the streets by a drive by.

Guess he doesn’t understand that it’s better to fight on their soil than ours.

President Barack Obama said Monday that sending troops into Syria to fight ISIS would be a "mistake," but not allowing Syrian refugees into the United States would betray American values.

RIGHT! Like the "American values" of being slaughtered by the thousands by Muslims!

No. I finally agree with him on something.....but probably not for the same reasons.

I keep saying unrighteous makes one stupid. We have plenty of ready examples in world politics - though we could probably look closer to home.

Look at the opposite examples in the Bible. There are many but take just two. Joseph in Egypt. He was put 2nd in command over the entire country. The second, Daniel, in the book that bears his name. The same thing, he was put second in command in Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon (as a teenager no less) and again under Darius during the Medo-Persian Empire (when he was 80). Where did these Hebrew boys get their wisdom - and more importantly, where can you? It was in their unflinching allegiance and obedience to their Lord.

The left ridicules our Founding Fathers as racist white boys (and believe me, we know they were no Joseph or Daniel) yet they had enough respect for the God the Universe and knowledge of his Word to fashion a system of government that has given great freedom and blessings to our nation. Where oh where are the leftist examples that come within even a fractional hair’s breath of men like these? Mao Tse-tung, Che Guevara, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin - really? The time for choosing is at hand. You are on the side of godliness or you are on the side of evil. There really is no middle ground. Hard times make it easier to see that. Going forward it will get increasingly difficult to straddle the mushy middle.

James 1:5-8

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Fine. Squadrons of heavily loaded B52s will be a welcome sight.

Even as we accept more refugees — including Syrians — we do so only after subjecting them to rigorous screenings and security checks.

how is it possible to really know who these people are? The refugees should be sent to muslim countries (Oh that's right - they don't want them).
