In a Washington Post op-ed published Friday, Biden described the threat as a "long-term challenge" but said the United States is prepared to increase its support in the fight.

Yes. I agree. Three well placed nuclear devices would bring world peace for years to come.
Do it big mouth.

Note that Obama sent his lap dog out to make such a baseless statement. More information for the ISIS terrorists.

Well damn! If Joe says it, it MUST be true!
To: Citizen Zed
I don’t understand this. We needed a ‘surge’ to defeat AQI...
And ISIS is 10 times more powerful than AQI...
To: Citizen Zed
We don't need those boots big guy...

You took all the boots off the ground you idiot.
