Congress should vote to authorize the Prez to pursue ISIS no matter where they are... But, it's doubtful they will go on record for anything before Nov elections.

I doubt they will authorize anything. As a matter of fact they are more likely to attack him for what has been done already. If they can't attack him directly they will find another way to sabotage the effort.

Wait until they publically kill the American woman they have prisoner, if you do not think America will demand the Government wipe the planet clean of these monsters you are delusional. ISIS is digging themselves into a hole they will not be able to get out of, they are so radical even the worst of the worst terrorist organizations do not want anything to do with them. There is photographic proof this group is killing innocent women and children and committing acts of genocide and if the world is not outraged over their actions and willing to act if they are not stopped then there really are no good reasons to act. I know of no God, Christian, Jew, or Islamic that justifies the monstrous acts being committed, and hopefully there will come a day of judgment for these monsters, and the sooner the better.

They will attack him no matter what he does, even when they are actually backing his actions, talk about insanity

Default All this ISIS talk is eerily similar to the run-up to the Iraq War

I've noticed that.

Soon, we'll be hearing brave pronouncements from the chickenhawks once they return from their 5 week congressional recess.

I say, leave ISIS alone. Let them obliterate as many towns/people/oil wells as it takes for the nearby and well equipped militaries of Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi, etc to take care of their problem.

Not our issue.

ISIS has announced their desire and intention to harm the US and US Citizens, so it is a no-brainer that something needs to be done to stop them.
Hmmmm.

I simply don't think we're capable of defeating them on Arab soil.

At best, I think we could have some success in a proxy war...but that's fraught with potential problems down the line.

Desertdetroiter, you are so right. This is the same old same old I have been seeing since I was a grunt in a pointless war in Vietnam. I just shake my head in disbelief that the people of this country can fall for this crap over and over and over again. Honestly, the war mongers don't even both to change the narrative - just the name of the latest "threat". What the F is wrong with us?

LOL. You are sooooo wrong. We have the ability. What we lack is the will to simply nuke the major areas of human habitation, and cleanup whats left with aircraft and drones.

And im not saying its bad that we lack the will, just pointing it out.
