I understand Johnson thinking it was an acronym because of the way it was asked. The problems go beyond Aleppo, and if there was a single city that should be focused on in Syria it should be Raqqa. It was a bull**** question from an establishment hack.
Sounds good but not what voters want to hear. Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda went unchecked in Afghanistan and perpetrated what they did 9/11. ISIS will likely do the same if unchecked. The days of being isolationist are long gone (since before WWII). Can't bury our heads in the sand, imo.
Yes. I mean, it is not like anyone else is shooting at ISIS *cough* the Shia *cough*
And do you or any of these "lets bomb em!" people even know what Osama's master plan was? He was not stupid and his plan to destroy America is working, thanks to people like you:
The whole reason he attacked America on 9/11 was to make the American government spend money attacking him. He wanted to make such a stir that anywhere an Al-Qaeda flag went, the US government would spend BILLIONS to take it down, all while making more enemies out of civilians in the process and creating more radicals. The result would be to make America bleed money and over-extend itself and eventually collapse.
And now, with no troops in Iraq or Syria, the Sunni's of Al-Nusra and ISIS have a new enemy: the Shia.
Why oh why should America follow the marching orders of Bin Laden when we could be sitting back with a big bowl of popcorn watching our enemies wipe each other out? Which, btw, is the one thing Bin Laden feared would happen.
I see that Russia and the US have announced a 7 day cease fire that will let humanitarian aid into Aleppo along with other areas of Syria. It will be interesting to see if it holds as the track record for these has not been good

So in other words, diplomacy with Russia...which is exactly the same thing Johnson proposed and got blasted for.

There needs to be more than two people in this upcoming debate rather than just the two party candidates.
A larger percentage of American voters identify as independents (39 percent of the electorate, according to Pew) than as Democrats (32 percent) or Republicans (23 percent).
Polls show Independents are divided between the three candidates and to not allow Johnson in the mix is a rigged system, imo.
Johnson is in outer space. In every interview I've seen him in he appears timid, low energy, weak, old, spacey.
Then you ain't seen him much.
Old? As compared to which other candidate?
Low Energy? As compared to which other candidate? Donald Trump?
Climbed Everest yourself, have you? With Don?
We heard all about how "presidential" Hillary looked while she lied during testimony, and how she "didn't sweat". Does that work better for you?
Or do the hysterical rantings of Trump work better?

I laughed when I read that, too.
