File under: Islamic State

#1 Violence is never a solution.

#2 The reality is, Islam [radical or the standard garden variety] has been at war with the west for centuries. I suggest we 'go long' on Islam, saying as little as possible, and put as many of them to the sword as violently and frequently as possible.

Refer to it a preventative measure. A perpetual training and R&D environment, or modern day Louisiana Maneuver.

#3 Obama "cares" until enough time goes by to where he doesn't have to anymore. He is not a world leader, he is not a US leader.

#4 an authoritarian yet functioning country into a largely failed state fractured along ethnic, sectarian and religious lines

As opposed to the kleptocratic yet largely failed state fractured along ethnic, sectarian and religious lines that is Pakistan?

#5 When the empty suit says there is not an American military solution to the crisis in Iraq, I want to go hide under my bed.

He, and all the liberals like him, refuse to fight for anything except their elitist status. What has to happen for him to do anything?

I shudder to think of the spin he would put on a major terrorist act. The empty suit would probably say we brought it on ourselves with the failed policies of the previous administration or he would say we need to reach out to them to get them to like us...we all know how well that has worked in the past.

#6 Read about these destroyers of culture. ISIL has domination in mind. They want to grow and dominate. They are cancerous and must be destroyed.
