I think it's really stupid to expect people who've looked at democracy as "something the enemy (Israel) does" to "welcome us as liberators."

Especially when we burn their cities and kill their children.

And just think how much better the trillions wasted in the stupid middle east wars we've lost could have done here at home. Money flushed down the toilet, not to mention the thousands of lives lost and so many more ruined.

Maybe another one of his/Hillary's famous "Reset Buttons" needs to be sent to ISIL? Kerry could deliver it personally (although spelling should probably be checked this time).
Worked well with Putin did it not?

On the upside for Obama - he has another Fund Raiser this weekend and a wedding, hope he can work in a relaxing Golf Game so he can "think" and "clear his head".
There is no great strategy to be had. You can either leave it, help those who support ISIS, put boots on the ground or some combinations of the three.

I don't get why whiners come on here and think that magically there's supposed to be some easy thing to do to solve every problem in the world. We're dealing with the inevitable fallout of the biggest mistake in US foreign strategy in many years.

Come on now. Cut him some slack. His grades in Harvard Law School were lousy. It probably does take him some time to arrive at a decision due to his rather limited mental capacity.

to know what we are doing, informing the media, is the first place they'll look.

Nov '16 really depends on what other Bozo we replace this bozo with
So you agree with this administration, silence the media? Not enough that they give cover to almost anything this liar does or says, now you want them to quit asking embarrassing questions and trying to inform the people as to what is going on?

Complete censorship is your goal? Welcome to team socialist Obama.

Hey, I don't support putting more money and more American lives on the line to go back to the ME and fail - AGAIN. If there is one thing the US is good at it is failure. That's what we have gotten from the Bush and Obama administration and we can go back to Clinton for ignoring what could have be construed as "threats".

But I won't rule out the fact that the hatred is so deep within these extremists that they wouldn't plot an attack on the US because it wouldn't be the first attack. And the UK is right up there with the US for the potential of an attack.

You live in a bubble if you think that IS or any related terrorist group wouldn't or isn't planning some sort of attack on the US. Do you hear IS or other terrorists threatening any other country besides the US?

You also think you have all the answers as if you are better informed than the majority of Americans, including our military. There may be some exaggeration to this "threat" that we are hearing about, but you have to be a fool to rule it out completely. I guess the saying "there's no fool like an old fool" holds some truth.
