They could do that without US involvement

It is a direct threat to them and us.

Use nukes just because we have them? Seriously?

It amazes me that so many Americans do not consider ISIS even the least threat to the U.S. I guess they think that even if they do carry out a successful attack here on our soil in some city, one attack (or two) does not threaten the entire country!

We have learned nothing from the 9/11/2001 attack, the Boston Marathon bombing, the Fort Hood massacre. And our borders are a sieve. Anyone can enter our country. They are already here.

If a white guy from ohio starts cutting heads off, do we bomb Ohio?

No, we expect the police to arrest them. It doesn't matter if they are legal immigrants who did it, a home grown threat, or illegal immigrants, its still the same principle. Its a police problem.

ISIS in Iraq and Syria do not threaten us militarily.

During the civil war in our own country, we had radical militia groups. This is normal. We need to let the people in these areas get tired of this, and deal with it themselves.

I'm not going to say we can't help coordinate air strikes, but the saudis, Egypt, and many other countries already have us weapons. Let them do the dirty work.

We spent, probably, 10 million on these operations last night. We killed 20 guys.

I feel so powerful

Military, rebel and terrorist seem to be interchangeable terms.
