Let the muslims sort it out.

Keep them fighting with American weapons.

For a long, long time.

Have them sell oil/gold to fund their purchases.

Send in American SF when needed to kill really bad guys.

Only because we’re not willing to do what’s needed to get the job done.

Dear Middle Eastern Countries,

You have 6 months to eradicate Islamic Extremism within your borders. If you fail to do so, we will carpet bomb all of your oil production, electricity infrastructure, desalinization plants, ports, airports, farms, metropolitan areas, military assets, palaces, historical sites, interstate highways, bridges and mosques.

We will nuke Mecca as we’re leaving.

We will destroy everything rising above “moderately interesting”, but pay particular attention to the things that are uniquely “you”.

Seek help from Allah as you go thirsty, starve, and finally die in the dark.

We suggest you get started ... now.

Sincerely,
People who get the job done.

It’s really tough when your president sides with the caliphate and bashes Christians at Easter.

Exactly. Perfectly stated.

Our enemies SHOULD fear us and our allies SHOULD trust us.

I fear that’s all over for us for now...if not from here on out. :(

If we’re not going to bomb, invade and denazify Iran, then there’s really no point in helping one radical enemy of the U.S.A. to kill another radical enemy of the U.S.A.

Exactly. Let the peaceniks in the “religion of peace” take on the jayvee. AFP under Barry is FUBAR.

““The Prime Minister will highlight… that Iranian influence will not govern Iraq,” he added. “And he is very adamant that going forward, they all, his Iraqi Security Forces, will not be interred by other countries — especially Iran.””

I would love to see our head of the administration’s face during this meeting.

Sure it is. A detachment of NAZI boy scouts would have completely annihilated these jokes in a week.

Between Judicial Watch claiming there are ISIS camps in Mexico eight miles from the border to the revelation that North Korea has shipped newer, larger rocket engines for ballistic missiles to Iran and Obama hiding that violation of sanctions from the UN, the general is not joking.

See tagline for further enlightenment.

Agreed. Bomb whoever is winning, Iran or ISIS. Kill leaders who look like they are consolidating power. Keep it fragmented keep them fighting each other.
