No. They'll engage us in proxy wars. I'm sure you've heard of Korea, Vietnam, etc. And if things get serious - it'll go heavy conventional or nuclear.

It's not fair, it just is what it is. Whining about Bush is not going to fix this.....Obama is in danger of becoming the Neville Chamberlain of our time. And that's all on HIM now. The stupidity of the Left is staggering.
So you are attacking Barack Obama for not furthering the destruction Bush started ?

ISIS could be wiped out in several months, now. In several years, who knows. Conflict is part of human nature. If we walk away now it will find us somewhere down the road. Of course we are going to be engaged by all sorts of enemies.....so we need to pick our battles. ISIS now, or ISIS later.

This is the way my simple mind sees it as well. Easier to exterminate these cockroaches over there.

Yup.....I'm not thrilled about this situation & I did not back the Bush invasion back in the day. The forming of an Islamic Caliphate over most of the Middle East is, in my mind, something that can't be ignored. Even Obama seems to see that, sort of, with his bombing.

Obama created ISIS. He armed them.

And they're also using weapons captured from the Iraqis that we supplied.

Months ago?
Ya mean like when ISIS was all grouped up,
before they advanced across open desert
and captured major cities and the Mosul dam?

Yup, prolly so.

Don't forget the $450M bank 'heist' in Mosul in June.

Think Obomber didn't give them that money?
