Care? Sure go ahead if you like. In fact if you care so much why aren't YOU over there fighting ISIS?
Americans have a higher probability of being struck down by lightning than an ISIS attack and nothing over there warrants any reaction from our military.

ISIS is what we get for monkeying around with the dictators over there that kept the peace. They knew better than us what it takes to keep Muslims in line as well as the fact that democracy for Muslims is a lethally idealistic idea.

But that doesn't stop our dumb politicians from trying to make Muslims democratic every chance they get. First it was bush in Iraq, then Obama in Libya. Given a vote, the Muslims will vote for ISIS or the Muslim Brotherhood. Better to support friendly dictators.

Don't forget that Syria is Oblubber's baby too, not just Libya. If we would quit arming terrorists in Syria, the government might get things under control.

Too little too late.
Obama loves his JV team.

Does anyone see a trend? After a major terrorist attack there is always a major strike against ISIS, immediately. Then for months it is quiet.

Or perhaps it just isn't news worthy if Americans aren't paying attention to ISIS at the time.

It would not have happened if they were not allow in the United States in the first place.

Why do you think the Nazis were never able to perpetrate sabotage in the US during WWII?

This is a bit just too convenient. A bunch of Humvees gathering in a circle. And what is this constant "if confirmed" qualifier? Who is supposed to confirm?

So we spent about a billion dollars in airstrikes to kill 250 primitive, ignorant pawns. The goal of boosting Hillary in the polls most likely.

And/or inspire more whack jobs elsewhere to plan/ execute an attack.

Terrorism is a game of whack- a- mole.

US is dammed if we do and damned if we don't intervene.
