And let's not forget to remind everybody how bright they are, how dangerous, and how helpless we all are
Really, I don't recall all the talk on the news media about planes crashing into buildings in the first 8 months of 2001.

I remember loads of talk about dirty bombs, nukes, and other attacks after 9/11, and none of that happened.

It makes me wonder, what exactly does right wingers want Obama to do about this situation?
I cannot speak for all conservatives, but I would like him to not get us into another war.

Let these people try and lead a large group of people and sooner or later the people they rule over will hate them.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to just let it burn.

Terrorists will always target the US.

No news here.

Kill them all.

I have no problem bombing terrorists and helping the ground troops from those countries get an upper hand on this issue. The more we disrupt ISIS, the harder it is for them to plot any future attack.

The problem I have is why ISIS has a foothold at all. We could argue all day about that.

Well you and I can't because I have no interest in having that argument.

What I mean to say is, there was a time when Iraq didn't have power vacuum that begets groups like this.

That is true, it was much easier dealing with a dictator and letting a dictator push down any of these issues. The whole Iraq war to kill Saddam was such a horrible idea.

9/11 truly was a fluke. Even Bin Laden said it exceeded his wildest expectations.
With locks on cockpit doors, I very well doubt that happening again, though the
media wants to remind us every day, another 9/11 is just around the corner...

Certainly after a OK City bombing, that is true with "any" crazy out there.

But, does any one even bother to ask anymore, how is all the money for homeland security spent.

'Homeland Security': The Trillion-Dollar Concept That No One Can Define | The Nation

I'm just getting tired of the media salivating over terrorists, like a vampire at a girls
slumber party.

These dictators use chemical weapons on their own people.

The power vacuum of no Saddam was filled with another leader that was elected who then went against of advice and went back to the same ol suinie Shiite (probably spelled wrong) nonsense and disbanded the military we worked to train.

This one is not our fault.


Like I said in other posts, sometimes you just have to watch it burn. Let the neighboring countries figure it out.
