Authority? I don't need no stinking authority.

oh we are so gullible.

we along with our client states (Saudies regime)
create Al Qaieda.
We create Taliban.
We basically create ISIS.

then the media tells our people they hate your freedom. let us spend more of your money to send ships over there to project power.

just like Britain the maintenance of such a huge empire will bankrupt us.

Don't worry people the Saudie regime are our puppets. we won't let anything happen to them.

Whichever radical islamist side looks likely to win, that's the side Obama is on.

Nope..following and documenting their fueling terror ...which IF don't follow and do this wouldn't have a leg to stand on come to courts such as the Hague Court.. Accusations is just part of things..PROOF of any Country feeding Terror is quite another...So No..USA is not trying to start war..they are trying to document the efforts by a foreign Government of supporting Atrocities!!

Liberals Hate War as described..but somehow have been left with trying to de-escalte ...course as for American's they only seem to desire 100% dominance..then the rest of the population want discretion...Course this could be because only single digit populations has actually been fighting for over last 13 years...Just maybe those other percentages have lost the implications of WAR since only those other poor hero's end up suffering..and politically blame whomever the leader of the time isn't doing enough or messing things up or causing all the problems....I tend to not look at a symptom ( as HCP) I always look at what is the cause..when did symptoms start and what treatment hasn't worked and alter treatments accordingly...Sorry..Had to use a metaphorical example

I'm sorry ..But any Political leader always defers to WAR..ever as the FIRST line of defence ..Somethings very very wrong..IT SHOULD ALSO BE last line of defence...I mentioned above...Only party that seems to bang those drums isn't coming from current President....NOT anything I have ever heard, read about anyway

You really so sure about that? An awful lot of people disagree with you.

The only thing we should be doing at this point is making sure no one overt here has weapons that are a threat to America or American interests. Then, shut down our border and stop all immigration from the entire region. After that, let these animals have at one another. If they want to bomb and behead each other bc they disagree on whether Mohammed's boyfriend was 8 years old or 11, or whatever the hell they fight about, let them.

Trying to pick winners in this region is just becoming insane.whoever wins, wins. But support terrorism against western interests, the existence of your country can change in 24 hours.
