So If George W was.....



Talking of responding to ISIL/ISIS in the same fashion Obama has would most here be cheer-leading for that.

Frankly I don't like the talk of three years of engagement, I think this is a way to ease us in to a longer engagement. Why cant we take care of this in 6 months. For crying out loud we ended WW2 in 4 years.

Also lets be real... ADVISORS.... that is code word for BOOTS ON THE GROUND, those soldiers are not wearing Red Wing dress shoes or Nike tennis shoes.

So I will sit back and wait for the Obama faithful to reply. I voted for him twice and I choose to be a bit more critical than being an open door of acceptance.

This is all a bunch of bullshit.

ISIS is not a threat to this country. They never were, they never will be. There isn't any reason to do anything but leave and let those assholes kill each other.

I'm sickened.
