Things are much worse over there than if we had left Iraq and Afghanistan alone. The track record of our military involvement is very poor. You simply can’t defeat a cultural/religious movement on its own turf unless you are willing to fund an indefinite occupation, or commit genocide yourself — which we fortunately aren’t willing to do.
Nonsense. Most insurgencies historically lose. We’re going to win this. It’s not about pro-Obama or anti-Obama. It’s about peace and security, which can be obtained. We have allies on the ground who can annihilate ISIS wherever they find them.
