Jeb Bush Says U.S. ‘Should Declare War’ in Fight Against Islamic State
nytimes.com ^ | November 15, 2015

Jeb Bush said the United States “should declare war” as it responds to the Paris attacks and the rise of ISIS in general.

“You take it to them in Syria and Iraq,” Mr. Bush said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” when asked how the United States could expect to “defeat an ideology.”

“You destroy ISIS,” he continued. “And then you build a coalition to replace this radical Islamic terrorist threat to our country and to Europe and to the region with something that is more peace-loving.”

The host, Chuck Todd, asked Mr. Bush what he would tell an American public that is wary of foreign entanglements after wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. (Mr. Todd did not mention the fact that those wars began under Mr. Bush’s brother.)

Isn’t closing the border and sending the Syrians back to their homeland
a part of declaring war?

If we formally declare war on ISIS then aren’t we basically recognizing them as a sovereign nation with territory? And wouldn’t we have to accord its fighters Geneva Convention protections as prisoners-of-war if caught?

Do any of these idiots not get that ISIS isn’t a thing to invade and occupy like it’s nazi Germany?

It’s the powerful armed wing of ISLAM! And they are here and everywhere they choose to be!

So lets blow up some sand and go to sleep?

EXACTLY. Islam is the ENEMY. It is not a religion, it is a political ideology that masquerades as a religion in order to commit it’s atrocities against all humanity.

We begin right here at home and declare Islam a subversive organization, shut down the damn ‘mosques’ (Jihadist recruitment centers), lock up the likes of CAIR and their terrorist sympathizing pals, and ship them ALL to Gitmo (assuming that filthy Kenyan sack o’ feces doesn’t close it first).

Peter Hitchens was not supportive of George W. Bush’s actions after 9/11.

In his “Mail on Sunday” column yesterday, Hitchens noted this:

“And the extraordinary connections between our supposed ally Saudi Arabia and the worst terrorist incident of all-September 11, 2001 in New York-have been politely ignored.”

Jebbie wants to bring the Saudis and Gulf Arabs into his ‘coalition’.

Jeb Bush? Is he related to those ex-presidents? Why do we care what he thinks?

The war needs to be against islam in general. And soebarkah is NOT the one to lead it.

Well that’s not very consistent of him is it? Considering that he is still wanting to bring in whole boatloads of them.

Pay attention to just HOW MUCH the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY HATES CHRISTIANS !

This stinking piece of crap that's defiling our Oval Office is importing the Radical Islamists that will kill us.
When will congress get the guts to IMPEACH, CONVICT and EXECUTE that ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF ? Also, don't forget this: I'll bet the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY are intending on EVERY ONE OF THEM to be used for importing a RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST !

UNHCR data confirms it: 75% of the so-called refugees arriving in Europe are MEN.

Trust that the Bush Family will always throw a bone to the Press whenever Obama gets in trouble.
What a fool!
