Not at all, if you consider the source.

You're really not trying very hard...
They don't have to, because Hillary lost, you know.

In December 2015, Foreign Policy magazine characterized as unscientific a CSP-funded poll that Donald Trump had been citing which purportedly showed widespread support for Sharia law amongst U.S. Muslims and a need for intervention in that community.

BTW, I wonder what Trumpzis said about Frank Gaffney Jr. a few months back when he was a leading Cruzlim.

On March 16, 2016, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz announced he would name Frank Gaffney to be one of his National Security Advisors.

I guess if any of them get hit it'll be "collateral damage".

Tell you what; mosey on over to the Middle East, grease up a few rounds and start shooting ISIS fighters.

Let me know how your secret weapon works in combat, will you?

I keep hearing that the Jews were murdered because of "gun control", and that the only way to avoid being slaughtered is by arming yourself.

Looks like ISIS is safe, because guns.

You could always join the brave Americans who are fighting ISIS on the ground right now in Syria and Iraq if you want to throw Muslims off buildings.

I'll understand if you have an excuse to explain why you can't.

It's different now and Id like to see it go back to what it was. Watching the Macy's Parade this morning and loving our joy and our joy in freedom and excellence I mourn the differences then vs. now.

These monsters must be destroyed, subjugated and melted into the prison walls. They are inhuman and they must be stopped.

Take the gloves off Donald. Wage War.
You go over there. I've been on four deployments and I'm tired of it. What we need to do is pull out and let them figure it out. We've dumped enough money into that region and lost enough people.

It’s just that there is no armed dictator with billions of petrodollars interpreting the book that way, to justify his repression of democracy.

I think what is happening in the Middle East, is a spillover of Middle Eastern power struggles. These countries are ruled by ganglords, and one ganglord is fighting to topple another. Since there is no legitimacy to their power otherwise, it is all done in the name of God.

Muslims need to continue to empower and encourage moderate Muslim leaders, who, for the very reason that they are moderate, will not be so visible. But it is up to THEM, not the rest of the world.

Stay out of it. Stop fantasising that Western militaries can fix Islamic problems in the long term.

These. Three. Posts.

It's so interesting that after the US and Soviets used so many other countries in proxy wars over 70s years, the Saudis and Iranians are now using the US and Russia in their proxy war.

And the US is on both sides at the same time, a proxy fighting a proxy war against itself.

Many Trumpists would prefer to send someone else's kids into harms' way, it seems.
