“Revenge” is such and ugly word. We should follow Obama’s lead and call it “justice”. At least, that’s how it’s applied when calling for redistribution of wealth.
The cancer of liberalism as weakened us to the point that America’s days of being a “sleeping giant” are largely behind us.
It makes obama yawn with disinterest.
As flawed as they were the USA was in a better position of leadership when Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld were at the helm to fight terrorists. Obama/Jarett/Kerry leading us? God help us all.
PS. Old Joe chases only his mouth to the gates of hades.
Best part is thanks to ISIS, Obama’s future, legacy, and even his day-to-day decisions, are now completely out of his hands.
ISIS can jerk him around like a string puppet whenever they want to, just by releasing another video.
Most kids nowadays know nothing of what is happening in the news of the world around them. They walk around listening to their musics and texting the friends.
Well I remember W.W.II amd it was real. The Allies blew enemy military and civilians into hundreds of pieces at a time. Carpet bombing. Sometimes the pieces were cinders. I recall the whole neighborhood cheering Little Boy and Fat Man when they ended the war in the Pacific.
It was war. We won.
Full blown, foaming at the mouth idiot.
However, the reason ISIS is a threat to US interests is because they have crossed the threshold of the Carter Doctrine of January, 1980:
"Let our position be absolutely clear: An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force".
And if it takes the emotional reaction to a couple of beheadings to rally the nation to support legitimate, strategic interests, we'll take it...idiots and all.
I have to say, so what?
Watching 3,000 people be murdered in their offices by these barbarians I knew even then that the “never forget” outrage would be a long way short of never. I was more right than even I thought I would be.
The only permanent effect of these atrocities is to spur the government into demanding the people relinquish more liberties. And the people, in their ignorant outrage, eagerly agree.
I don’t believe this time will be any different. I will be proven correct.
Actually the Americans were already enraged by the evidence of Christian children being tortured and beheaded in Mosul. It was WIDELY known to the NON-MEDIA public. Ever hear of the internet? You know, the place where the Americans go to get NEWS????
Now the “powers that be” have an erection for Syria again. All Syria all the time now. Nothing about IRAQ. You know, the only place over there were we actually HAVE a little responsibility.
The Presidents speech tonight will ALL be about bombing Syria. They have a way in now and they are not going to pass up the opportunity. They couldn’t care less about Christian children being slaughtered. They see a chance to get into Syria and topple Assad like they wanted to do two years ago. They will spin it into what they want all the time telling the public it’s for YOUR safety.
Sounds to me that around 10% need to be DEPORTED!!
Let’s all try to figure out what (ahem) “religion” they follow! Three guesses and the last two don’t count!
Page me when ABC NBC CbS etc. start making the president look bad. Until then, the polls don’t matter.
Vengeance is a dish best served cold and when the US can afford it.
The results are stunning:
-6 out of 30 students recognized this week is the anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks.
-4 out of 30 students were able to name one of the American journalists beheaded at the hands of ISIS.
-29 out of 30 students were able to identify one or more celebrities involved in the nude photo hacking scandal.
I was reading an article, I think it was a quote from a cleric that beheadings were meant to scare people. We’ve been through this already when the Iraqi war started about 10 years ago. They tried a few but then the sensational aspect of it died down. It’s hideous and obviously we need to get at this scum.
I’m almost surprised we haven’t seen a beheading yet from the Oval Office.
“Sleeping”?
More like comatose...
” ISIS beheadings made America want revenge”?
Horse crap.
I’ve wanted revenge since Iran kidnapped our embassy personnel.
Nuke em.
The soetoro Presidency is what should really have Americans seeking revenge.
