Radical groups. We have religious radicals running amok and crazy militia feeling the need to force their crazy ideas on whoever. I am a Christian and believe in loving others.

As far as locking up the "war criminals", don't think this is going to happen. We need to refocus, GOTV and dump the crazy ideas in the garbage. We don't get mad, we get even.

Indeed the war criminals said they would be greeted with garlands of flowers - as liberators.
Did no one think these people would wait for the right moment for their pay back???
Do you think you can invade and occupy with impunity?

Trouble is he's not owning anything. President Obama is stuck with cleaning up this mess without even the help of the Congress who gave George Bush his war to be a war time President.

While taking questions from a panel of reporters at a luncheon in Milwaukee this Tuesday, Representative Paul Ryan joined the chorus on the right blaming President Obama for the rise of ISIS and its rampage of murder and terror in the Middle East.

Asked about the unconfirmed report of the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff, Ryan asked the reporters to join him in a moment of silence — then proceeded to lay the blame for his death and that of James Foley on mistakes made by the Obama administration in the Mideast.

“I do think a good deal of this rise stem(s) from bad decisions made by the administration in foreign policy with respect to Syria and Iraq,” Ryan said.

13. Dumbya, Dick, Condi, Rummy, etc. are directly responsible for the rise of ISIS.

The invasion of Iraq was an abysmal failure. Saddam was no saint but Iraq was stable under his leadership and there were no American citizens being beheaded.

I don't see how Dumbya and his cronies can sleep at night with all the terror they have caused.
