Al Queda was successful in killing three thousand of our citizens. The Japanese attacked Pearl harbor and killed fewer than three thousand. This country had PR terrorists shooting up Congress in the fifties.......our country has always had threats, and will continue to have threats. To bootstrap the same into more military spending and waste is not the answer, nor will a new fighter jet beat these type of threats. Investments in improved intelligence and an understanding that if our economy stays strong, we can defend ourselves in the future. If however we become scardy cats and lash out at everything with no thought or plan.......well that get you the war in Iraq. There is a big difference in being aware and being a scardy cat spreading panic on behalf of the MIC.

I would politely disagree with you on the improvements in our intelligence gathering capabilities. Our economy remains the largest in the world. Yes, we need to depend on others. So I agree with one of your answers. However, how would you improve our odds beyond waiting for Hillary to replace the President in January 2017?

ISIS is a tool of the Sunni Tribesmen, and as soon as they have served their useful purpose, there will be antibodies to the cancer......right now they think they have control. In the end the region has to solve their problems with the help of the nations of the world, but in regard to America solving the nation building process......we have done our damage, and a military response with boots on the ground delays but does not solve the problem. Time is on our side.

It's purely pathetic.....

2seaoat wrote:ISIS is a tool of Sunni Tribesman? Did you really just post that statement? Really? And ISIS THINKS they are in control but aren't really? Have you asked the folks in Iraq and Syria? You know those being brutally, horrifically murdered by the hundreds and thousands?
Yep....I posted the obvious. If you do not see the Sunni control of this movement you are slow witted or not paying attention. Do you really think that the Sunni experienced military just melted away after the American occupation. Also, follow the dollars of who is supporting this organization.......just like Al Queda, many of those initially supporting this group were allies.......who gains the most with ISIS? Think about it for awhile......Israel. How does Israel benefit the most......when American forces enter the region and neutralize.....this is not rocket science.....this is simple geopolitical positioning. A strong Syria and Iraq always posed a risk to Israel. A group attacking Iranian influence and the Syrian government with the hope that Ground troops will commit again......jackpot for Israel. Oh, and by the way.....Israeli tank divisions and air force could neutralize ISIS in three weeks, and you can bet they will not follow our rules of engagement. None of this is by accident, and the fear peddling and audacity of ISIS actions are not by accident....they have an intended purpose.
2seaoat wrote:Not sure how that makes them the winner.
The MIC gains, as folks like you scream fear and horror, Syria is totally compromised and is no threat, and Iraq is divided and basically impotent, and Iran needs to protect their brethen in Iraq.......Do you really think ISIS is stupid enough to attack or threaten Israel......really? Nothing is between them and the Golan Heights where they could launch an attack. No you really do not get this and if your handlers ever let you think, even you could grasp who the winners and losers are in this conflict. Israel would neutralize ISIS in three weeks, but that is their last priority.....like the Iraq Sunni, they are seeking advantage in the chess game......but you keep quivering in the corner about the great ISIS threat to the US........you bet they can attack us.....actually with what I have just described, I would bet on the same......intelligent people can see the play, but once our soil is attacked it will be a knee jerk reaction and the thinking will stop....MIC will be happy, Israel will be happy, and the very people we went to war in Iraq about, will be back in control. Pretty elementary geopolitical gamesmanship.
