Doesn't seem as if that big bad boogeyman was all that bad, does it? 5 months ago, they were all the rage...the supposed new Islamic Empire coming to get us all.

And let's not forget for a minute how worked up and apoplectic many Americans were about ISIS..they were gonna conquer the whole Middle East if we didn't go over there and stop them. Then they'd turn their guns on the United States of America, storm our shores, rape and pillage all of our towns, and convert those of us that they didn't manage to decapitate into Muslims.

Guess not, huh?

They were replaced by fear of Ebola, which was followed by Ferguson and NYC police . But don't think that means the potential for them to do harm to Americans never existed and still does not exist for the future.

You should also ask what happened to the kidnapped school girls, the missing airplane etc,etc.

I thought that because that's exactly what everyone (meaning a whole buncha conservatives) said was gonna happen.

In fact, i'm sure you were one of them.

Right. I don't care.

But since you do, what are you doing about it? Is your "care" saving all of those kids being killed?

I thought that they were supposed to take over areas in the Middle East, build up a base and then coordinate attacks in other areas. I hope and pray that hey fail at it. Life would be wonderful if it was all smoke, mirrors and overblown talk in order to push for more money for defense.
