Dem Congressman: ‘Forces That Will Rise If ISIS Is Destroyed Are Nearly as Evil as ISIS’

CNSNews.com) - Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Ca.), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, warned Tuesday that destroying ISIS would only empower those fighting against the terrorist group – who are almost as evil as ISIS.

“If you destroy one power in the Middle East, you empower the other side, and the four groups that are fighting ISIS now are in many ways nearly as evil as ISIS itself, and in fact, those who are fighting against ISIS today on the ground have killed far more Americans than ISIS has,” said Sherman, top Democrat on the Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade Subcommittee.

Destroy Iran.
Colonize Iranian oil. Return NONE of the revenue therefrom to any Moslem entity in Iran.
Colonize Saudi and Iraqi oil the same way.
Then ISIS will be easier to dispatch and the whole problem of Islam Resurgent will be taken care of for a generation or a century or until the West starts pouring Jihadi funds into the Moslem world yet again.
Any money to the Moslems is Jihadi funding.

This is a huge risk, possibly suicidal, especially under Obama.

Billion$ in war funding for materials that is crisply out of American hands ad cascading into a war zone in the absence of the full engagement of accompanying US military forces is a very alarming prospect.

Considering the billion$ for fighting ISIS under Obama, also serves as an appetizing slush fund for diverting funds.

Unfortunately Obama wants to take the 3rd way and arm the “moderate” terrorists who are fighting Assad who is the only thing protecting the Christians.

We don’t have to love Assad to recognize him as the best possible bad result. The “moderates” can’t beat Assad and they can’t beat ISIS, all the moderates can do is help ISIS beat Assad at which point the “moderates” will be exterminated by ISIS or converted to ISIS and ISIS will control Syria and Lebanon soon after.

Kill the head. The body will follow. Following this idiot's advice, we should just do nothing. Honestly, our enemies must laugh at the vacuousness and pettiness of our so-called leaders. No wonder they are so emboldened. Is there not one man in Washington? Doesn't even have to be a man - I'd settle for a contemporary Margaret Thatcher or even a Joan of Arc.

Assad tortured and killed too many children to be supported. All such supporters will have to prepare and present their defense at the Pearly Gates.

There is a man in the White House. He is not Sultan Obama.

Unless we kill all muslims, we will have this problem, until they decide to correct their culture and behave worldwide.

We should go after all islamist and certainly not allow anymore into the United States, at least for a hundred years or so and then only if they can show they’ve become civilized and “the religeon of peace” in reality.

The Islamic War has been going on for 1300+ years. It will end when all men in the world are Moslem or when no men are Moslem.

So...that feller who wants to cut my head off - I need to leave him alone because if I kill him the next one might only want to cut my head partially off? And when I kill him, the next guy will maybe only want to cut my arm off? And when I kill him, the next guy will maybe leave me alone? I'd call that progress, actually.

That’s exactly the right message here. Since when has ignoring evil led to anything but more evil?

Other than that, Brad Sherman is a turd.

The secret to using that strategy is secure borders, wall them off and let them take care of each other.

We don’t have that option so it is a non-starter.

Typical dumbass Dem Logic.
