I don't want to see our troops there either but seem to remember the Iraq troops running away like cowards when ISIS attacked giving ISIS all of our military equipment.

Well there you have it.

Why the hell are we even contemplating getting involved in this. This is not our fight.

We should of course keep an eye out for any terror cells planning attacks on US CITIZENS. Europe should do the same for its citizens.

What I see is ISIS is trying to unite MUSLIMS into one caliphate. Good luck with that. They will never succeed in getting Muslims to join together under one banner, their religious hatreds go too deep. But why not let them try? To attempt what they want they will have to kill a few million other Muslims.

When your enemies are fighting against each other ... do not get in the way.

First question to the latest press secretary should be: since Iraq wants no foreign troops, which countries are part of your secret coalition which intend to send them anyway?

Wait for the deer in the headlights look and then follow up:

Are you going to be replaced by Badgdad Bob??

"This is the responsibility of the international community -- on top of them the United States government -- to do something about ISIL in Syria."

This is my only problem with what was said in the article by the pm. No, it is not our job to do anything about ISIL in Syria except to ensure they don't reach our borders. What is going on in Syria is truly a civil war and I'm not certain there are many of what we would call good guys there. ISIL and forces loyal to Assad blowing each other up is not necessarily a bad thing.

Governing in Islam is all about public posturing and private reality. This statement is most likely an admission to an agreement with America that no public disclosure of American or coalition troops will be made. We most likely had to bring bags of cash to obtain this statement from him. It’s the way Islam works. Obama pays well.

It is time to dust off the low yield nukes and pick targets in the desert and perform those kind of surgical strikes.

They will succeed if they kill enough of the “wrong” Muslims.

Islam is the overall encompassing problem.

Either way there will be fewer Muslims.

Fewer people for us to blow up which seems to be what a lot of people are intent on doing.

I’d rather the blood be on their hands not ours, whenever possible
