I believe Obama is achieving exactly what he wants, tp look like he’s doing something but he will never will do anything to stop the advancement of the Muslim Caliphate.
I call BS. These thugs are fighting for allah, not some pie in the sky good job. Get real!
“..and Americans must be willing to pay the full price for liberty—in money and lives.”

It has always been this way. But now we are temporarily stuck with an administration that avoids this reality at all costs and works hard to protect and encourage the enemies of America, both foreign and domestic.
I don’t trust Obama on any level. Not what he says, not what he does, not his motives, nothing. So I’m queasy about any military operation he orders.
But I will say that a good model for operating in the muslim world is the model that brought down the Taliban, where you use special operators integrated among muslim allies, backed up by air power.
Its a small footprint leveraging a lot of power. It keeps the nationals themselves front and center and in need of you. It solves a lot of problems in dealing with the populace and the local politics. What do you do with the prisoners? Not your problem.
Even accepting the proposition that ISIS/ISIL is not Islamic, Islam is still the vestigial organ that gives rise to these cancers. If the organ cannot heal itself, we can get along without it.
Depends on the size of the bomb.
Like all Muzz terrorists, the ISIS barbarians will be accompanied by wives, concubines, children, captives (before they are cruelly killed), and others with whom they will embed themselves. The carpet bombing they need and deserve won’t be applied because of fear of collateral damage. Has anyone heard of 0bumble’s ROE for this “major anti-terrorist operation?” Oh, I guess it’s a war now, sort of.
This bow-tied professor is quite the libtard moron. He thinks bad economic conditions, which he wrongly attributes to Germany, Japan, and China out-competing the Eurotrash, are the cause of terrorism.
In fact, terrorism is an upper-class phenomenon. Osama was Saudi rich. Zawahiri is a pediatrician. Mohammed Atta was a top student, with degrees in architecture and engineering. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had an engineering degree from a US college. Major Nidal Hasan was an army officer and psychiatrist.
Terrorism’s causation has nothing to do with economics and everything to do with Islam.
No thanks.
