What's Obama going to do, or say, if ISIS burns American Servicemen to death??
"While their deaths due to random workplace violence is unfortunate, we must remember that they came from a predominantly Christian country, and we must empathize with the Muslim world because they have historically been oppressed by Christians, as with the Crusades. The people who committed this unpleasant act were undoubtedly motivated by centuries of oppression based on their religion, as well as the color of their skin. Or maybe it was because of a You Tube video. In any case, we must exercise restraint and make sure that any response we might make is not disproportionate to what they, due to their legitimate grievances, have done."
And that's pretty much all that he will do or say. Because, frankly, it just wouldn't bother him all that much.

Ha!
You left out the part about them doing this because they are unemployed, though. If we gave them some jobs, maybe they wouldn't feel the urge to capture, torture, and murder people and film the process. Makes perfect sense.
Alll that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
it will unfortunately take more than airstikes to take Islamic State down. God help me that we aren't the country that has to go fight Isis on the ground.
Al-Baghdadi is only about five miles from Ain al-Asad air base, in the western province of Anbar, where 400 U.S. military personnel are training Iraqi soldiers and Sunni tribesmen to take on ISIS. The base was raided last week by a small band of fighters, in what some experts believe may have been a probe in preparation for a full-scale attack.

I pray we never have to find out
I hope not either. I'm afraid he'd call it "workplace violence".

The entire world should be sending troops to battle ISIS ... we owe it to mankind to put a stop this this barbaric nonsense.
I think our issues are the result of a fractured and divided bevy of career politicians, who are clearly more concerned about their own political careers than they are about the big picture - on just about every front. Neither party seems to be able to "play well with others" for the sake of our country. My biggest issue with Obama is that he has been intentionally divisive since his first day in office - pitting one group against the other on just about every issue.
Perhaps it's their supporters. I never found Obama's statements particularly divisive, perhaps they are to some but I suspect a large portion of his supporters don't find anything divisive about them. I haven't notice that, I really don't get what a lot of the complaints are. I doubt it's intentional on his part. I thought Bush was rather divisive, but I wouldn't go so far as to saying he was doing so intentionally.

Really? While on other issues, I'm sometimes lukewarm, his foreign policy actions while far from perfect I've thought mostly well of. Much better to have a cautious leader than a reckless one. As for intervening against ISIS, I'd be reluctant to support much. Surely the last few decades have shown little good come with intervening there. Contain the ISIS, prevent them from expanding further, but don't get dragged into another mess. They haven't been able to expand much in Shia or Kurdish area.
