Sherman actually has something here. The trouble I've had with support for "moderate" Muslims has been that we have no reliable intelligence that would enable us to keep it from going to the very bad guys we're possibly fighting. Even more, as it stands now, the most likely effect of our involvement against ISIS will be a de facto alliance with Iran that will enable the Iranians to get their much-craved nukes. IOW the Mahdi will lead us from the frying pan to the fire, something he no doubt craves to do.

The solution to this, painful and expensive as it seems, is to regard Iran and ISIS as two sides of the same coin, radical Islamic terrorism, and to attack both simultaneously. If done decisively, that would eliminate the entire threat. Equally important, it would enable us to view Assad as no more than the somewhat irritating, but not really threatening, typical Mudlsime dictator that he would be and leave him in place to control the really rabid Mudslimes that are a serious threat to both of us.

Turning back to representative Sherman, this means his idea of a full debate, before giving the Mahdi the money he's asked for, is an excellent idea because it will reinforce Congress' constitutional role in war making and enable Congress to force the Mahdi to explain his war objectives, including how he will avoid turning the USAF into Iran's de facto air force and giving de facto consent to Iran's nuclear program.

Translation: “If you stop ISIS, that will spare the lives of Christians. Christians oppose leftism, and therefore they are evil.”

Sherman has no point.
ISIS was created by Obama interfering and instigating in Syria.
Those “Moderate” rebels McCain was agitating to arm and Obama was eager to cuddle?
ISIS.
The solution is to destroy all of Obama’s buddies.
ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood, etc.

I tend to agree with this premise, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna not spray the fire ants in hopes that the cockroaches won’t invade the house when they’re gone...

Kill ‘me all, or die trying!

Not sure if he is advocating letting the Muslims fight it out and weaken each other. (What Israel was advocating last I heard.)

Or if he is just a rat with a victim mentality that we lose no matter what we do, so do nothing.

Simple Proposal:

Bomb bad islamonazis.

If worse ones show up, bomb them too.

It’s quite easy, actually.

We’re in WW III whether we admit it or not. They are all coming after us one way or another.

The only “good” jihadi is a dead one.

Bomb them all as they show up.

Kill all the Moslem men and sell all the children and women?
That would mirror Islam's solution for the Infidel Problem.

But Iran and Assad are as tight as a Reese’s peanut butter cup. How are you going to attack Iran while elevating Assad?

In other words, rather than a Valarie Jarrett approach, take a John Bolton approach to foreign policy.

I can’t get past that this “warning” is coming from a democrat. We know their record.

"Nearly as.."? OK. I can live with something less evil than ISIS. Hopefully the forces that arise after them will also be "nearly as evil" as well.

We can eventually break them all the way down.

It seems that Christians had it better under some of the dictators we’ve helped to overthrow. I listened to a Christian Dr. and Bishop on the radio pleading for America not to help overthrow Assad because under him at least they could live in peace. They said not everyone in the world are suited to live in a democracy.

The congressman is obviously not familiar with the principles of Whack-a-Mole! Let’s start!

Forget the "moderates". They are unmotivated to fight. It's the extremists who are the most motivated to fight.

1) Destroy ISIS
2) Destroy whatever evil b*stards come next
3) Repeat strep 2 until they get the message
