What I know is history.
What I know is that we have been over there for a long time and we only have MORE terrorists, more problems, more refugees, more murder and mayhem.
Nothing was done to make the situation better for us. And for a bonus we have a bunch of dead Americans.
You can go over there and fight for the Sunnis to get the upper hand or for the Shias to get the upper hand, in a small geographic area, for a short period of time before it changes ... I don’t want our young people dying for to protect some Muslims for other Muslims (for a short while in a select area). It’s insane to do that.
What we should be doing is keeping them out of HERE.
Our fight against the extremist does benefit the host nations. It also benefits us. We remove their training areas, their aura of invincibility, which is a great recruiting tool, and we remove them literally. We’re killing them in great numbers. From your safe position, you can pontificate all you’d like. The fact is that your opinions matter very little in that no one is listening to your “give peace a chance for al Qadea and ISIS” message. This president is annihilating them. You can call it whatever you want, but he’s following through with his promise. You may not like it. And frankly, your argument is with him. The US military is executing his orders. So quarrel with him and not the people who se the wisdom of destroying a relentless and murderous foe of the West, and, as despite your worries and fears, Muslims too.
