Guess the “reality” you prefer is the narration from our Dear Leader that ISIS is a JV team (his “meme” if you will for the operation he is supporting for the caliphate).

Where did I say that? When I compared them to Nazi Germany and Stalin? Both are evil, both are threats, and the more they kill each other the better, as long as neither wins. I said the same thing when Khomeni and Saddam were slugging it out.

One more thing, about Truman. There were plenty of Communists in the Truman administration, but Truman didn't put them there. The Roosevelt administration was already rife with them, both advisors to FDR, and even more career State Dept. people. When Truman made the statement I quoted he was a Senator, and I don't know of any Communists on his staff. His opinion was certainly not popular on the left.

The man was way beyond his depth in the position, both personally and the fact he was deliberately sidelined. Anybody who would fire MacArthur, who was kicking commie butts effectively, did so because his government was riddled with agents (proven definitively) and he was hobbled on another whole level. The old Scoop Jackson wing of the dem party used to trot out Truman all the time, like he was some “tough guy” non-lib. He wasn’t- he was an FDR machine pol and not particularly bright, with a “small man” complex he could not contain.

Point is that the simplistic— “who’s winning” approach is useless in this modern terror war against islamofascism, because the “fronts” are many, and the enemy is already demonstrably within our own government. Clearly, obamaumao and company has chosen the caliphate(running with the stupid Bushism meme about “good” muslims that belies the historical reality and record) to be run by either major muzzie sect, because that template fits their left wing desire to maintain a totalitarian govt in the US (using our implicit “security” as the excuse for destruction of our Constitution) and a world govt. run by them and their venture socialist lib pals.

Doing the bidding of the House of Saud is what got us in to trouble in Benghazi. There ARE NO moderate syrian rebels ...

Fact.

After all, we MUST use the US Military to make Syria safer for the Iranians to control.

You nailed it.

Previous reply should have looked like this.
