He also said he’d pay a ransom for a reporter’s life, which, as a better journalist noted elsewhere today, is a surefire way to encourage more kidnappings and beheadings.
This is, of course, a variation on the ol’ chickenhawk argument vintage 2003 and it’s stupid for all of the reasons the chickenhawk argument was always stupid. But say this much for Document Dan: You haven’t heard much of this quasi-logic from the left since January 2009. He may be consistently silly, but he’s consistent. (Meanwhile, over at MSNBC, professional liberal and Iraq dove Ed Schultz wants “round-the-clock airstrikes” against ISIS so that we can “cut their g******ed head off.”) Never mind all that, though. Answer me this: What’s the strategic argument for not hitting ISIS at this point? I understand the broad anti-interventionist argument that nothing good ever came from America meddling in Iraq, but that argument imagines that U.S. intervention necessarily makes things worse. What would be worse than ISIS? The strategic argument, I guess, is that we’re inviting “blowback” by bombing them but in that case explain to me why ISIS would refrain from attacking the U.S. if we held off. They hate America already for backing comparatively moderate Middle Eastern regimes like Iraq’s and Jordan’s (not to mention Israel’s). They’d boost their prestige regionally by showing they could pull off a big attack on U.S. soil that’s eluded Al Qaeda for years. There was never going to be a peace treaty with a group that’s devoted explicitly to ethnic and religious cleansing.
If the argument is that it’s not our fight and that regional powers should handle this, okay, but I’m not sure that’s feasible at this point even if those powers were willing. ISIS might have them outgunned:

Ive never talked to him before, why would I start now?
Dan. I am 61 years old and I would go to stop this rabid cult of hate if I could. Islam needs to be destroyed.
Hey Dan. You were filming from the railroad overpass at Dealey Plaza.
Where is your film footage Dan?
While that could be true, given his low character, I believe he was probably tossed for other “issues”. Anyway, it would come down to the “nature of the charge” rather than reality...according to that idiot.
“By that rule, those who pay no taxes shouldn’t get to determine where tax money is spent. remove their vote.”
A very good rebuttal.

Jees! Just when I thought that good old Danny boy couldn't possibly make a bigger ass of himself. Just goes to show that you should never underestimate the depth of stupidity that the liberal mind is capable of.
Monsieur Rather, I got an offer for ya. How about:
1. If I’m calling for war against ISIS and would not send my kid,
..... I won't even talk to you.
2. If I’m not calling for war against ISIS and would not send my kid,
..... I won't even talk to you.
3. If I’m calling for war against ISIS and would send my kid,
..... I won't even talk to you.
4. If I’m not calling for war against ISIS and would send my kid,
..... I won't even talk to you.
I think that pretty much covers it.
But I will enhance the offer:
You wanna talk to me, I am available at my going rate for your type which is $50,000 a minute, 3 minute minimum, paid in legal tender upfront, live unedited telecast, prohibition against any and all editing of live footage, and .....
I get to bring to the interview my pet llama who is known to spit at liberals.
Yours truly,
A 'moderate' Irish-American
We sent kids, and sent kids, and sent kids, and this is what we got, so we should send them Dan Rather instead.
Now that’s a good idea!
Come on! That's Dan in drag!
What Mr. Hostage said, except I will bring Tiger, my attack cat.

I had to dig deep into the historical/hysterical documents to find this one:

We have an all-volunteer military, Dan, in case you didn’t know.....And whether my son or daughter goes to war it would be their decision, not mine, so crawl back into your hole.....
Dan you moron just because you washed out of Parris Island don’t think you are an important anti-war voice. Oh and I (look it up)don’t need any excuses not to talk to you.
I liked that show as a kid.
actually I sort of agree with him.
I woiuld not send any kin of mine into that hellhole or any of the Moslim hellholes worldwide.
Not to fight against Moslims with the current military and ROI. I will not send me and mine to fight unless we are to fight to WIN. Not to protect oil, not to protect interests, only to protect our people and our country.
Does he know nobody sends their children. It’s an all volunteer army - the kids make their own decisions.
But since I posted to you on that thread this morning, it must have made it easier for you to find.
