Before We Blindly Wage War On ISIS, We Need To Ask A Few Questions First…
Congress needs to get some answers first...
The strategy that President Obama laid out Wednesday night to “degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL” is incoherent, inconsistent, and, ultimately, non-credible.
A year ago, Obama and John Kerry were straining at the leash to launch air strikes on Syrian President Bashar Assad for his alleged use of chemical weapons in “killing his own people.”
But when Americans rose as one to demand that we stay out of Syria, Obama hastily erased his “red line” and announced a new policy of not getting involved in “somebody else’s civil war.”
Now, after videos of the beheadings of two U.S. journalists have set the nation on fire, the president, reading the polls, has flipped again.
Now Obama wants to lead the West and the Arab world straight into Syria’s civil war. Only this time we bomb ISIL, not Assad.
Who will provide the legions Obama will deploy to crush ISIL in Syria? The Free Syrian Army, the same rebels who have been routed again and again and whose chances of ousting Assad were derided by Obama himself in August as a “fantasy”? The FSA, the president mocked, is a force of “former doctors, farmers, pharmacists, and so forth.”

Now Obama wants Congress to appropriate $500 million to train and arm those doctors and pharmacists and send them into battle against an army of jihadist terrorists who just bit off one-third of Iraq.
Before Congress votes a dime, it should get some answers.

You know, I look at this cartoon, and see the absolute horror of this entire situation going back decades...
Our people will not desire action of any substance until these murderers start doing this openly on our own soil...
Imaging these murdering islamic muslim killers taking over your town square to exercise their First Amendment rights to express their grievances???
Maybe that absurd reality might get a few people off their collective arses and greet these slimebuckets with a proper justice...
I am not going to hold my breath on that ever being the reaction though...
