There are no moral upright people in the Middle East cutting heads off or wanting to cut heads off.

No, whoever he or she is is just a hater, and thinks that anything who kills, hurts, or is against America(ns) is admirable.

Isn't it Iraq that when Obama pulled out after his plan that ISIS moved into the vacuum. Now he is sending troops back with a new plan. Even then ISIS has a long way to go to equal Saddam's murdering.

Obama, just like Bush and Hillary Clinton do not have a clue about foreign policy. Bush's invasion of Iraq is for groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS a gift that keeps on giving in form of money, recruits, and plenty of motivation. Iraq under Saddam was never a threat to the U.S., and Bush should have never invaded.

All Obama sending back troops will do is further fuel the Jihad against the U.S., and kill/maim Americans unnecessarily. ISIS as of this moment is not a threat to U.S. security, however, if the U.S. keeps fooling around with ISIS the threat will dramatically go up.

After 1400 years of jihad, I think the non-believers are starting to get the message about Muhammed and his "religion of peace" ... submit or die.
Islam is at war with all non-believers.
That is the truth supported by the scriptures of Islam.
...
POLITICAL ISLAM
Tears of Jihad (1400 years and counting)
Kafir Deaths (cumulative)
Christians : 60 million
Buddhists : 10 million
Hindus : 80 million
Africans : 120 million
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Total : 270 million
Source : Political Islam
(Not to mention the millions captured, enslaved and abused.)

- - - -
Is it a coincidence that when Muslims attain a sizable proportion, all others are made dhimmis, driven out, killed or converted?

Joseph Sobran--a conservative writer and not at all a fan of the Clintons--wrote

Quote:
It's dangerous to belittle your enemy, especially
when his courage and cunning have already proved as
formidable as his hatred and cruelty. The first question
you should ask about your enemy is why he is your enemy in the first place.

You may be deluding and flattering yourself if you
assume he hates you for your virtues. But our "leaders"
assure us that our enemies are unnaturally evil people
who hate us only because we are so wonderful. And they
manage to utter this nonsense with an air of tough-minded realism.

True realism, on the other hand, doesn't mean
blaming Americans for bringing these horrifying and truly
evil acts on themselves. It does mean trying to imagine
alien perspectives from which our government's conduct
might appear so intolerable that some people might be driven to take atrocious revenge.

"To understand all is to forgive all," says the
French aphorism. Not true. But understanding all can at
least teach you how to avoid making enemies, and avoiding making enemies is the best defense -- better than a $300 billion "defense" budget that didn't defend the World Trade Center.

The great director Jean Renoir was once asked why
there were no villains in his films. He answered simply:
'Everyone has his reasons.' Your bitterest enemy may have his reasons for hating your guts. You may not think they are good or sufficient reasons, but you'd better take them into account. If he has any brains, he may find a way to hurt you.

Some would argue they do have a clue, and do realize they are fueling terrorist organizations by being over there. That they want us to have a perpetual enemy to fight.

Do you know the difference between empathy and sympathy, Orlando?
Apparently not.

Empathy is knowing another's feelings without sharing them.
Sympathy is knowing another's feelings and sharing them.

Big difference. The first rule of war is to know your enemy.
