Being intellectually honest, I have to say that bombing ISIS is the correct and appropriate move.

I agree. He was, ~12 months late, in making the decision, though. This is a Presidency of difficulty in forming relationships and making decisions.

Again, being intellectually honest, his poll numbers were at their lowest point ever......and with the mid-terms just around the corner.......

I have yet to have anyone explain to me, where this was Constitutional?
Our nation is not in imminent danger. No one attacked us.
What the President has done, is an act of war.

It may have been the right decision without question, but it won't change anyone's opinion about this guy. All he really wanted to do was set us up for other countries to attack us, so I'm not really looking at this situation as a change of heart. And you know that he really won't.

The Middle East is such a mess and all out omnishambles, no one can honestly say, at this point, what will be the outcome or ramification of whatever action you take. That an organization like ISIS can get any support in Iraq, or anywhere for that matter, it really makes you wonder.

Notwithstanding the geopolitics of the Middle East, I don't think that we should be involved in the Middle East and should let them sort things out themselves. However, the atrocities committed by ISIS makes it hard to argue against taking some military action against them; however, in doing so, we actually helping Iran. That is how screwed up the Middle East is.

It's constitutional because ISIS is not a nation. The nation involved is Iraq. And the legitimate government of Iraq requested military assistance.

I contend that the U.S. is in imminent danger if we don't do something about Islamic terrorism, which is intent on destroying all of Western civilization.

Why don't we listen to what the terrorists themselves are telling us?
