Some people think that ISIS is only the front face figure. Whatever is done by ISIS is actually done by Mosad, and that's why ISIS commits heinous acts all around Israel but never inside Isrsel to kill Zionists.

Can you imagine what would happen if someone set off a bomb in a group of Muslim pilgrims during Ramadan?

IMO, we should avoid becoming involved in other countries; civil wars. Reports are ISIS cheered our missile strike, Assad certainly isn't our ally, and I wouldn't trust Putin as far as I could throw a MIG, we simply have no friend in that cesspool.



If it was up to me America's ME policy would be very simple, I would tell every country in the region they can either learn to live together or they can die together, it's not our problem. But IF they screw with the US they will be vaporized.
I am totally with you on the last one. If it were up to me that would be my policy, but until Events unfold I am willing to give Pres Trump the benefit of the doubt

Foreign policy dating back to post WWll to today got us into this mess. It wont get change in one administration but you can set change in motion if you play your cards right, I have no confidence Trump can do it given his record so far.

ISIS is a daily threat to the U.S. and our allies. ISIS blowing up churches is an "in your face" attack to the Trump administration.

Anyway...
To the majority of people who believe in God, no matter the sect, we are heartbroken and do pray for those suffering.

I guess the difference between them/us and you is that one takes it seriously from the heart... while you bloviate sarcasm. Good job on the thug.

So... what would give you confidence in Trump?

Nothing he can do will, if you're being honest about it, right?

I find it wildly ignorant that many in here see that bombing as some sort of pro-Isis move. It is incredible how complicated the situation is when there is so many fronts and players in Syria. It;s a three sided (or more) civil war. WE, as a whole, back the anti-Assad anti Isis Syrian Free Rebels. So attacking Assad is NOT being a friend to Isis, and vice versa.

MY armchair QB says:
We need to shut down Assad's air power with a no-fly, just as we did in Iraq. We need to bilaterally set a FREE-ZONE where refugees can safely go. Once this is done we then pour arms and munitions to the rebels and let them kick the snot out of Isis and Assad... which, to the best of my knowledge, seems to be the plan.

That sounds good to me. I wish it was that simple.

I don't buy that for a second. But then again, I'm not here to debate nor defend religion. That's as bad if not worse than discussing politics.

Obviously, and can't say it's wrong either. If it betters your life, go for it. If not, get a new religion.

Greg Gutfeld got it right. Refuting Trump's action is like shouting, "Hey ho, stopping Genocide has got to go."

Shame on me.

I should go to Dallas to protest Trump's immigration policy.

Although I agree the US has no business in any of these regions there are somewhat valid points on why we are there.
No more so than theirs. Even less in reality.

You can't compare today's Muslims denouncing the terror done by extremists of the religion they share with slavery 150 yrs ago.
The comparison is in blaming people that have absolutely nothing to do with the problem.

These Muslims are alive and well and it reflects on them - my ancestors - if they were involved - have been dead and buried for decades and in no way are representative of my beliefs today.
It has nothing at all to do with people who have done nothing.

Are you responsible for the torture that went on under the Bush administration because you are also an American?

Did you call for him to be held accountable?

LOL...stop with the bravado. If given the chance to do that, you wouldn't push the button if i gave you a million dollars to do it and you know it. Even if i gave you a billion, you STILL wouldn't do it.

Americans couldn't leave the country after that happened. This country would have to become a fortress even within our own borders. No mall, bridge, supermarket, tunnel, railroad or much of anything else would be safe.

The whole "bomb Mecca" thing is a bunch of hoooey. None of you would do it if you had the chance.

Israel currently has to deal with HAMAS who is currently possibly being funded by ISIS as the Egyptians assume. Israel doesn't sit on it's hands thinking about checking into possible terrorist cells. They react pretty swiftly when information is given to them.
