You don't have to start another full scale war over there in Irag or start our own war in Syria. We just need to weaken them/disable them as Hayden said above.
Actually, this goes back to 1974. After the Arab oil embargo, the US should have realized the need to become independent of those people and eliminate their financial resources, at least to the extent that their resources came from the US.

One thing Carter was right about: Eliminating dependence on Arabian oil should have been taken on like "the moral equivalent of war."

Jihadists have Obama in office to dismantle America , hence the effort to remove guns from the people, capable of resisting anarchy.
Muslim don't care about the lies, they (most all) know their end game.

Yep.

It shows.

Who would Jesus hate?

There are probably more people than ever who are financially vested in drumming up fear. I've read that are nearly a million government workers in the counterterrorism field.

Hopefully this is just a stretch and not an omen for the future. Isis becoming a nuclear power.

Just for your information the God of heaven hates lies and those whom lie are bound for judgment.
So to answer your question Jesus hates lies as well and those that perpetuate them. John 8;44 Revelation 20;10

You should only be afraid of Isis as long as your government continues to oppose Isis militarily.

I think few people would deny the U.S. is the most powerful and can overcome ISIS if they want, with the ultimate possibility of using nuclear weapons, but also few doubt that the U.S. will be unwilling to use them and may never use them. One side cares more about civilian casualties than the other, and that makes the difference.

ISIS's role is inflated. A big part of why the insurgency rolled through Central Iraq is that the Sunni population welcomed their former military under Saddam Hussein with open arms.

Yeah, we've been financing them for a long time. Energy independence would help a lot.

One of the reader comments posted there:

Marylou's America • 20 hours ago
A terror gang we never heard of until a month ago, which has since gone through 4 name changes and declared war on us, is about to become a nuclear power? Thanks, mainstream media, for keeping us right on the cutting edge of world events. On the bright side, if there is one, we're at least in a more informed position to guess what ever happened to that first ill-fated Malaysian airliner back in March.


Let's hope the leaders of the U.S. government are not as complacent and ignorant as this fool. I suppose he/she had been utterly surprised by the nature of the 9/11 attacks if he/she was around then.
