This is moral bankruptcy for those who think killing people in the middle east somehow reduced our risk of terrorism in America. Once a week an innocent American is murdered by a criminal act of a terrorist. Yet, we kill tenfold innocent civilians, and people argue that we should carpet bomb and have no rules of engagement. They blame it on a community organizer. I say that we have a Christian President.
Wordslinger, you and the other sympathetic Progressives should get down on your knees nightly and thank God that we have men with the ability and willingness to do what you cannot and thus keep our country free.
Were the innocents killed at Pearl Harbor, Poland, Bavaria, France, Norway, Denmark, Russia, World Trade Center one and two, the numerous, increasing terrorist attacks, more recently the Russian airliner, Paris, Ft. Hood, San Bernardino NOT innocent?
When faced with war, you fight the war you are handed, NOT the one you want. You WIN a war by CRUSHING your opponent. The other option is that your forces are so overwhelming and positioned so well, that as in chess, rather than delaying the inevitable, you lay your king on its side. You surrender.
Do you see ISIS, who fights using civilians as shields and children as suicide bombers changing their tactics soon?
So you do what has to be done.
