Good question? Let's start with the ISIL. The Saudis, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt et al should send their troops to battle ISIL, not the US. IF they choose not to, then they get what they deserve.

You know what - if one of my loved ones was kidnapped by ISIS, I don't think I'd make a video pleading for their life. I don't think I'd humor the terrorists in that manner.
Great post!! I have felt the same, no way would I let them show me in pain to my loved one day after day. These people are pathetic, wish we and other countries were doing more to stop ISIS. How could our President have known this for a year or more and did NOTHING!!! He is difiantly an

Some how people seem to forget these people hold religious values above their culture. They have lived their whole lives under Saddam and other dictators they have no why of fighting back the GENERALS of Saddam!

If people haven't noticed the "moderate muslims" are being beheaded!

Preach.

And I'll take that one step further - I don't think we should send one more piece of equipment over there to arm one of their armies. We've seen how well that works out.

There is no moderate Islamic ideology. There are only moderate Muslims, who are those that are not as devout.

" We spent a decade training the Iraqi military. When the enemy came, they put their weapons down, shed their uniforms and hid" - Rand Paul early Summer, 2014 ( before his mind was changed about taking action).

Agreed. There is no upside to sending them more troops, weapons, money, etc. If there was some scenario where we had a favorable outcome MAYBE I'd get on board, but there isn't. Send ground troops temporarily & we lose. Station troops there permanently like Hillary wants to do & we lose. Bomb them indefinitely & we lose. Create a proxy war & we lose. The only scenario where we don't lose is coming home & cutting the cord.
