Right. The U. S. must create its own enemies in order to keep the government-military industrial complex very prosperous.

Seems most still do not realize that every time the U.S. tries to intervene in the Middle East it motivates more people to go join groups like ISIS.

If it was not for the idiotic U.S. intervention in Iraq ISIS would not exist.

The creation of Islam was not an event the U.S. controlled, or took part in.

Iraq was completely optional and something the U.S. started.

It's almost like Donald Trump doesn't know what he's talking about.

Put a Republican in the White House and we will be at war with troops on the ground once again. It will be another 10 year war with thousands dead and Conservatives will be happy.

When has bombing an adversary been seen as protecting and supporting them.... That's some serious ignorance right there.

Isis isn't an enemy that can be defeated by military action, it will just create another offshoot.
