And what about all of the followers? Same with any cult. Smart personable leader, poor losers to follow.

You have lots of young European born Muslims going over there to "join up".
They are educated.

What you really have are extremists blindly following a religious prophecy.

Now you know we never really got out of this recession during Obama's 6 years. He owns it. Like I said before, any competent president it would have ended in 6 months. Because this guy doesn't understand basic economics, and he's determined to bring in millions of low skilled foreigners, we won't see a real recovery until we get an adult in the People's House.

Then why didn't Bush stop it. He was in office for more than six months of 2008.

I don't disagree. But the same type of people are susceptible to the extremist lines of any religion or any other way you want to divide society.

We're talking about the recovery from it. That's 100% Obama.

But there isnt, and thats not going to change.
Many of these people left jobs and careers and opportunities to become jihadists.

I'm sure the US will financially support this and go to great efforts to find them jobs..maybe even bring them all over here and let them get work permits like the illegals.
That will be next.

Just when I think the pronouncements from the WH can't get any crazier, they do.

What kind of parallel universe does the President and the administration live in? [shaking head]

Exactly. He said it could be fixed in six months. If that's the case, why wasn't it fixed in six months by W?

You're being disingenuous. Nobody is saying go find an ISIS member and put them on the back of a garbage truck.
