LIVE RADIO NOW: Common sense please, ISIS / ISIL is more hype than threat

This week’s show

Common sense please, ISIS / ISIL is more hype than threat

Today we discuss our new war, the ISIS / ISIL war. I think the neocons and the military industrial complex have so far been successful in using the media (both American media and ISIL’s media operation) to dictate American foreign policy. In effect they have convinced Americans to force President Obama into a war footing. They have convinced Americans that 10,000 (now supposedly 30,000) fighters mostly in pickup trucks with attached guns, a large bank account, a few guns, knives, and the propensity to behead for effect are powerful enough to fight the armies in the region let alone the United states.

What are your thoughts? Let’s talk. I will also be following our hash-tag #PoliticsDoneRight on Twitter.
