Go get 'em!

Also lots of keyboard liberals who will scream the loudest when we are attacked by these folks for not preventing it.

If the shoe fits....

Do you REALLY expect to be taken seriously, saying those kinds of things?

Pearl Harbor and the lack of almost any serious military was preparation for WWII?

And sometimes the best thing a commander in chief can do is the job he was elected to do.

Especially after he has continually failed to do so.

That's a good thing.
Even you use the word yet.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a plan for when we are?

Anybody wondering how these young men are becoming radicalized. It sucks to die but young black men find more hope living in a Third-World armpit, than they do in their own backyards.

Obama's hope and change, sending young blacks to ISIS. No worries Obama is on it!

Threat? What threat? You still have your head on your shoulders and I have mine. Lets party.
As for Obama's no strategy, he doesn't have one even when he thinks he has it.
He will however be wiser in 2017 after leaving office. Until then, I expect only random talk and meaningless declarations.

I am not a liberal, but I don't wish that. Liberals are fellow Americans too, no?
