I would say send them Hillary, but even the evil ISIS regime has their standards.

And conservatives will want to pay them $25/hour to invade/occupy countries that have done nothing to us.

Where did you come up with that? It's the Seattle liberals leading the way for $15/hr minimum wage. I've seen no mention of your $25/hr claim.

Be honest or don't comment. It makes you look untrustworthy.

Cut the funding (we've done this by quietly freezing bank accounts, and making it extremely difficult to sell their dirty oil in legitimate markets), and they won't be able to run their business (the business of terrorism).

I know the foil hatters will scoff, that's predictable, but can anyone admit that this strategy is not only way better than trying to bomb our way into peace, but that it's also WORKING???????

Yep-and not only does it make it difficult to run their business but harder to recruit.

Taliban pays $300 a Month. Funny how money is the controlling factor in so many facets of the World.

£100 a month is still more than the Pakistani minimum wage of ~£80 a month.

Hmm. Makes if that much harder to buy a woman.

A few years ago the King of Jordan made clear his country could not compete with ISIS which offered young men the equivelent of a middle class wage and a wife.

The world is full of young and angry young men who have no opportunities to improve their lot in life.

Politicians and war lords have used religion as a tool, since forever.
