We fought Nazism in north africa, France, etc. We can do the same with ISIS. In this sort of war, borders don’t mean a lot.
And 8 percent wonder who Isis is.
Death to Daesh!
ESPECIALLY against Islamists.
I’m still not sold on us going into Syria. We need to kick ISIS out of Iraq. I think if we take Mosul, that will go a long way in driving them out of Iraq. I’m just not sure if we should go into Syria to do it. Keep them bottled up there, help the Kurds in the northern part of Syria but that’s about it. I don’t trust any of the other groups in Syria.
We need a bigger vision than just defeating ISIS. The West needs to apologetically declare a holy war in the name of Jesus and wage that war across the Moslem world. It should be a war for conquest and conversion using whatever means we need to use to be victorious.
Sometimes there exists a moral outrage so heinous, and so hard to oppose by those immediately facing it, that we are morally compelled to intervene.
I doubt the statistics. Could be wrong. Perhaps the agitation of Christians being persecuted and killed in the name of Islam has extracted sympathy, but it’s more likely a push poll.
no we don’t
If we get a President like Cruz or Walker, then I would support ground troops.
Until then, I think Congress should seek to send aid to the Kurds and ONLY the Kurds. Real aid: anti-tank weapons, mortars, sniper rifles (including anti-material 50cal), night vision, body armor, ammo, decent small arms. Also JTAC personnel, for air support.
Count me in the 30%.
I don’t think a pile of dead American bodies is worth it for protecting Muslims from other Muslims ... and that is precisely what we’d be doing.
The cure, carpet bombing and special forces killing the pigs on the ground. Then carry lots of pig skin the wrap them in while rolling in a ditch and cover.
I have to say that referring to opinion polls of the general populace is no way to run a government. I don’t care if 95% of the public takes a position, if it is wrong, it is wrong. On this I am kind of Gruberesque.
I oppose it while Obama is the CIC. He’s been undermining our troops on the ground and endangering their lives. He’s for the other side.
