Armchair hawks disgust me.
Absolutely. And even aside from the different "platforms", isn't this the single best example of why not to elect a Republican these days… if only for the simple reason that they're so overrun with these kinda chickenhawks, who are always so eager to squander the blood and resources of others?!
Like they never learned a damn thing from our last tough-talking "Decider"!!
Finn-Jarber"How many Americans lives are your willing to sacrifice to revenge those Egyptians?"
As a world leader, it's not a question we should relish, but we should understand our moral obligation to have boots on the ground, even though that will cost some lives.
Egypt is a sovereign country last time I checked. Do you suppose it is within the realm of possibility that there is a channel of communication open between the us and egypt? And that possibly, just possibly, there are agreements between the us and egypt that spell out a military partnership? How long do you think egypt would be our ally if we didn't consult with them on these issues?
You can't have it both ways - obama is either a dictator who does what he damn well pleases anywhere in the world - or he is a president who is bound by negotiated agreements.

Boots on the ground will prevent ISIS from gaining even more control, just as fighting cold symptoms early prevents worse stuff from happening.
PS: We have no draft; we have mostly hired hands now for the military, and while they may dislike conflict, it's simply part of the job they signed up for. I'm sure firefighters sometimes fear what they face, some die every year. That does not change their responsibilities, nor get us to modify the job description.

So, we should put boots on the ground whenever people get killed. This one happened in Libya, and we got stuff happening in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, multiple places in Africa, Ukraine etc.
That's world policing on steroids.
It's never happened before and I hope it wont happen in the future.
The one thing that Mike Huckabee has said that is exactly right: Paraphrasing.....Obama has made clear that he will do nothing to offend Muslims while simultaneously offending every major world religion, most conspicuously Christianity.
Barack Obama is a closet Muslim, or at the very least an extreme Muslim sympathizer. Not a doubt in my mind.

Have you enlisted?
Are you in favor of a flat war tax on all gross income to pay as we go, for it? By all I mean individual and corporate earned income, Capital Gains, Social Security, SSDI, too. Then we reduce TANF and SNAP . Maybe we give Enlisted and Veterans a break because they have already done more than their fair share.
Not anytime, but this time, yes. ISIS is different.
